Logging and Status

Dash Logs

systemd install:

journalctl -u dash.service -n 200 --no-pager
journalctl -u dash.service -f

Source run writes to stdout and stderr.

Configure logging with:

app:
  log_level: "info"
  log_format: "text"

APP_LOG_LEVEL and APP_LOG_FORMAT override those fields. -debug raises the runtime level to debug. HTTP access logs are emitted only at debug level or with -debug.

Useful checks:

systemctl status dash.service
curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/version/

Node Logs

Linux systemd:

systemctl status ithiltir-node.service
journalctl -u ithiltir-node.service -n 200 --no-pager
journalctl -u ithiltir-node.service -f

Linux OpenRC:

rc-service ithiltir-node status
rc-service ithiltir-node restart

OpenRC uses /opt/node/run_node_openrc.sh, supervise-daemon, and root's BusyBox crontab for SMART/LVM collectors.

Dash Update State

Jobs and transactions are stored under $DASH_HOME/runtime/dash-update. Admin status exposes phase, failure_code, recovery_path, and log_tail. Use dash update recover instead of deleting transaction files.

macOS LaunchDaemon:

sudo launchctl print system/com.ithiltir.node
tail -f /var/log/ithiltir-node.log /var/log/ithiltir-node.err

Windows service:

Get-Service ithiltir-node

Windows runner and service events are written to Windows Event Viewer.

Version Status

The version endpoint returns:

{
  "version": "1.2.3",
  "node_version": "1.2.3"
}

version is Dash version. node_version is the node version bundled in the Dash package.

Log Level

Start Dash with -debug to print debug logs and redacted configuration. Do not run long-term production with debug logs unless needed for diagnosis.
