There situations in the dev environment where it would be useful to see server logs, have database access, or rails console access. This should not be used in other environments.
The following assumed you have the cloudfoundry CLI set up on your machine, and have logged in. When you log in, you should select the dev space. Instructions can be found here
To view logs, you will first need to know the service name. cf a will list services, but the service name will probably be eyfs-dev.
To view recent logs:
cf logs --recent <app_name>
To tail logs (view them as they are generated)
cf logs <app_name>
You will need to have the psql command on your path for this to work.
The first time you try this, you will need to install the conduit plugin:
cf install-plugin conduit
You can list the services with cf s, but the service name will generally be eyfs-postgres-dev. For interactive access, use:
cf conduit eyfs-postgres-dev -- psql
First, ssh into the host instance
cf ssh <app_name>
Then,
cd /app
and finally
/usr/local/bin/bundle exec rails console
Make sure you have been added to the PasS services list for the app:
Which you can do by messaging the channel #digital-tools-support and requesting access

Install the cloud foundry CLI https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/wiki/V7-CLI-Installation-Guide
On a Mac this is:
brew install cloudfoundry/tap/cf-cli@7
Connecting to test server
cf login
and enter the the following:
- API endpoint: https://api.london.cloud.service.gov.uk
- Email:
- Password:
If you have access to multiple spaces, select one to be the target:
e.g.
- eyfs-dev
- eyfs-pre-prod
- eyfs-test
- eyfs-production
To verify you have targeted the correct space:
cf target
Ssh connection:
cf ssh -i 0 <spacename>
To inspect logs
cf logs --recent <spacename>
