Command line - logs, traces and checking what happened
What it is for
When something does not work, you want the reason, not a guess. These commands show what the server did.
Read the server log
bash
erp logs tail --lines 200
erp logs tail --grep NullPointerException
erp logs tail --grep <correlation-id> --followEvery response carries an X-Correlation-Id. Search the log for it to find the full stack trace of that one request. In an AI coding agent the same thing is the erp_tail_logs tool.
Follow one business event
bash
erp trace <correlationId> # every flow run, event and queue message of one event, in time order
erp queue messages <queue> --status DEAD # messages that gave up
erp queue trace <queue> <messageId> # why a message ended up dead
erp integration health # dead messages, failing triggers, open conflicts, pending go-live approvalsFollow workflows
bash
erp workflow list --definition leave-request --record 1042
erp workflow instance <instanceId> # stage, status and context
erp workflow tasks <instanceId> # human tasks and who must act
erp workflow history <instanceId> # every step and transitionBots, journeys and calls
bash
erp plugin op agent-executions --agentCode order-helper
erp plugin op agent-steps --executionId <id> # model calls, tool calls, approvals
erp plugin op engagement-members --code renewal-30 # where each customer is in a journey
erp plugin op voice-calls # recent calls with outcome and summary
erp plugin op dms-media --id 42 # state of the streaming copies of a videoCall any endpoint
bash
erp api get /api/v1/package-contributions
erp api post /api/v1/entities/lm_leave_type/records --body '{"type_code":"STUDY","type_name":"Study leave"}'erp api uses your signed-in session, so you see what you are allowed to see. It is the quickest way to check a feature after a deploy.
Check a page renders
bash
erp page check /leave --user someone@example.com --password '<password>'It opens the page in a real browser and reports errors. Do not put real passwords in shared scripts.
