How to set PM2 to not store output but still be able to view it while running










0















I have a program that I run through PM2 using a process json file, and recently I noticed that the log files have been taking up a horrendous amount of space. There are 2 files in the logs folder, Process-error.log and Process-out.log. I still want to store the error log but I don't want PM2 to be saving Process-out.log as my regular output is just for me to view as it's running.



The problem is that I still need to be able to connect to the process and view the output as it's running, but just not have that output saved to a file. Is there any way to do this in the process json file?



EDIT: OR if there's a way to limit the size of the output file so that it doesn't ever get too large, that would work as well.
