NS.getScriptLogs() method

Get all the logs of a script.

Signature:

getScriptLogs(fn?: string, host?: string, ...args: any[]): string[];

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
fn	string	Optional. Filename of script to get logs from.
host	string	Optional. Hostname of the server that the script is on.
args	any[]	Arguments to identify which scripts to get logs for.

Returns:

string[]

Returns an string array, where each line is an element in the array. The most recently logged line is at the end of the array.

Remarks

RAM cost: 0 GB

Returns a script’s logs. The logs are returned as an array, where each line is an element in the array. The most recently logged line is at the end of the array. Note that there is a maximum number of lines that a script stores in its logs. This is configurable in the game’s options. If the function is called with no arguments, it will return the current script’s logs.

Otherwise, the fn, hostname/ip, and args… arguments can be used to get the logs from another script. Remember that scripts are uniquely identified by both their names and arguments.

Example 1

// NS1:
//Get logs from foo.script on the current server that was run with no args
getScriptLogs("foo.script");

//Open logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with no args
getScriptLogs("foo.script", "foodnstuff");

//Open logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with the arguments [1, "test"]
getScriptLogs("foo.script", "foodnstuff", 1, "test");

Example 2

// NS2:
//Get logs from foo.script on the current server that was run with no args
ns.getScriptLogs("foo.script");

//Open logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with no args
ns.getScriptLogs("foo.script", "foodnstuff");

//Open logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with the arguments [1, "test"]
ns.getScriptLogs("foo.script", "foodnstuff", 1, "test");
