Where are the PostgreSQL logs on macOS?

I would like to take a look at the PostgreSQL log files to see what my app writes to them but I can't find them.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • On OS X, if you're using the EnterpriseDB installation of PostgreSQL, your log files will be in /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/data/pg_log

    Of course, you'll want to substitute 8.4 for whichever version number you're running.
