Console Commands
Timber includes console commands you can run from your Craft project’s directory.
Real-Time Logs
These commands power real-time log updates in the Logs utility. Run each as its own long-lived, supervised process.
Watches the active .log files in Timber’s log catalogue and publishes an update notice whenever one changes. It follows files that are replaced or truncated, checks every second for new daily logs, and runs until you stop it. Archives, numbered rotations and .txt files aren’t watched.
php craft timber/logs/watchStarts the Socket.IO server that sends update notices to the Logs utility. It listens on 127.0.0.1 at the port set by the socketPort setting and runs until you stop it. Pass start to start the server.
