SKILL: Read Server Logs

Read application logs from the opencouncil-tasks server at 134.122.74.255.

Server Layout

• Production: /root/opencouncil-tasks/logs/app.log
• Staging: /root/staging-opencouncil-tasks/logs/app.log

Rotated files exist as app.log.1 through app.log.5 (oldest).

Parse Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine:

1. Environment: If arguments contain staging or stg, use the staging path. Otherwise default to production.
2. Mode (first match wins):
   • No arguments or just environment: show last 100 lines
   • A number (e.g., 500): show that many lines
   • follow, -f, or tail: run tail -f (warn user to Ctrl+C to stop)
   • all: show last 500 lines from current file plus app.log.1 for broader history
   • Any other text: grep for that term across the current log file

Execution

Construct and run the appropriate SSH command:

# Example: last 100 lines of production
ssh root@134.122.74.255 'tail -100 /root/opencouncil-tasks/logs/app.log'

# Example: grep for "error" in staging
ssh root@134.122.74.255 'grep -i "error" /root/staging-opencouncil-tasks/logs/app.log | tail -200'

# Example: follow production
ssh root@134.122.74.255 'tail -f /root/opencouncil-tasks/logs/app.log'

Output

After showing the logs, give a brief one-line summary of what you see (e.g., "Logs look healthy — last task completed successfully" or "Task X failed with error Y at timestamp Z").
