@Marvin should i run prefect server start >> logfile.txt or something so I can actually usefully see the outputs? Does the server log to a file?

It seems that my initial search did not turn up specific documentation about logging Prefect Server output to a file. However, the configuration and operation of a Prefect Server might be defined through Prefect's profiles and configuration settings. In general practice, redirecting standard output and errors to a file in Unix-based systems (like using
>> logfile.txt
) can be a standard approach to log server activities to a file. Depending on how Prefect Server outputs its logs to the console, it could be logged to a file this way. Since there isn't direct guidance from the documentation we found, you might want to check the more detailed configuration settings in the Prefect documentation about Profiles and Configuration which might offer further insights into logging. For thorough guidance, you may want to explore the server and configuration sections of Prefect's documentation or potentially look into logging configurations or integrations with external logging systems that are compatible with Prefect. If Prefect Server uses standard Python logging, it might inherently support file logging through its configuration. In that case, setting up logging to a file could involve adding a
logging.conf
file or including appropriate logging setup in your Prefect configuration.
