## Logging from the Command Line
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An alternate mechanism for logging is using the `--logging` command line option. This is handy if you are trying to get logs from a situation where _QGroundControl_ crashes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How you do this and where the traces are output vary by OS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Windows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You must open a command prompt, change directory to the **qgroundcontrol.exe** location, and run it from there:
|
||
|
|
bash
|
||
|
|
cd "\Program Files (x86)\qgroundcontrol"
|
||
|
|
qgroundcontrol --logging:full
|
||
|
|
- When _QGroundControl_ starts you should see a separate console window open which will have the log output
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- OSX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You must run _QGroundControl_ from Terminal. The Terminal app is located in Applications/Utilities. Once Terminal is open paste the following into it:
|
||
|
|
bash
|
||
|
|
cd /Applications/qgroundcontrol.app/Contents/MacOS/
|
||
|
|
./qgroundcontrol --logging:full
|
||
|
|
- Log traces will output to the Terminal window.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- bash
|
||
|
|
./qgroundcontrol-start.sh --logging:full
|
||
|
|
- Log traces will output to the shell you are running from.
