How to access logs
Logs are our first go-to when something goes wrong. Multipass is comprised of a daemon process (service) and the CLI and GUI clients, each of them reporting on their own health.
The multipass command accepts the --verbose option (-v for short), which can be repeated to go from the default (error) level through warning, info, debug up to trace.
We use the underlying platform’s logging facilities to ensure you get the familiar behaviour wherever you are.
On Linux, systemd-journald is used, integrating with the de-facto standard for this on modern Linux systems.
To access the daemon (and its child processes’) logs:
journalctl --unit 'snap.multipass*'
The Multipass GUI produces its own logs, that can be found under ~/snap/multipass/current/data/multipass_gui/multipass_gui.log
