Where are the PostgreSQL logs on macOS?

Question

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?

Answer 1

Just ask your database:

SELECT 
    * 
FROM 
    pg_settings 
WHERE 
    category IN( 'Reporting and Logging / Where to Log' , 'File Locations')
ORDER BY 
    category,
    name;

In my case, it's in "/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/data/pg_log"
