1. Add:
to lib/capistrano/tasks/tail.rake.
namespace :logs do
desc "tail rails logs. Usage cap production logs:tail_rails"
task :tail_rails do
on roles(:app) do
execute "tail -f #{shared_path}/log/#{fetch(:rails_env)}.log"
end
end
end
2. You can now tail the production log from your local machine:
cap production logs:tail_rails
