How to get or submit node logs without UI access

If you cannot access the MystNode UI, you can still view logs, export them, or submit an issue directly from your system.

View logs (Linux)

To view logs:

sudo journalctl -u mysterium-node.service

To monitor logs in real time:

sudo journalctl -fu mysterium-node.service

Export logs (Linux)

To export logs from the node service:

sudo journalctl -u mysterium-node.service > node.log

This will save logs to a file named node.log in your current directory.

You can then share this file with support via email, chat or community channels.


View logs (Docker)

If your node is running in Docker, use:

docker logs myst

To monitor logs in real time:

docker logs -f myst

Export logs (Docker)

To save logs to a file:

docker logs myst > node.log

This will create a node.log file in your current directory.


If you don’t know the container name

Run:

docker ps

Look for the MystNode container (commonly named myst) and use that name in the commands above.


Submit issue via API (no UI required)

You can report an issue directly from your node using the local API.

Basic command

curl -X POST --data '{"description":"Your issue here"}' localhost:4050/feedback/issue 

Example

curl -X POST --data '{"email":"[email protected]","description":"Node is not visible on discovery even though it shows as online and receives test sessions"}' localhost:4050/feedback/issue
  1. email is optional but recommended

  2. description should clearly explain the issue


Notes

  1. The API runs locally on port 4050, so this must be executed on the same machine as the node

  2. Make sure the node service is running before submitting the request

  3. Logs provide more context, so include them when possible
