TITLE

NodeJS Application logs are completely broken

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.48, Ubuntu 22.04.1

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Application logs for nodejs do not work:

Important - Updated Node.JS application hosting support

Good day, everyone! In an effort to make Plesk a better tool for Node.JS developers and those who want to provide Node.JS application hosting to their clients, we have made several significant improvements over the past few months. I’d like to take this chance to highlight those improvements...

talk.plesk.com

This is a known and wide spread issue and has been for most of this year.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. add the nodejs extension to plesk
2. create a nodejs app
3. go into the log viewer and select node
4. observe there are no logs *at all*
5. go to manage log files and select passenger.log
6. observe there are no logs from application
7. ssh into the machine and look at the /var/log folders for httpd, nginx and apache2
8. observe that neither error.log or access.log or in fact any files in any folders contain nodejs application logs

ACTUAL RESULT

no logs are displayed

EXPECTED RESULT

we would expect there to be logs from the nodejs application being run via passenger

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I love plesk, I hope you folks fix this up!

YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM

My passenger.log file only contains those updating statistics logs and does not contain any logs from my node application.

Also in the log viewer in plesk, selecting node in the drop-down shows nothing for me and the other users with this problem from the link in my initial post above

Same issue with Node.js Toolkit ( Version: 2.3.1-279 ).

Please fix asap.
