cf: View a dump of recent app logs.
$ cf logs ${app_name} --recent
try on your machine

The command "cf logs ${app_name} --recent" is used to retrieve and display recent logs of an application deployed in a Cloud Foundry (CF) environment.

Here's how the command works:

  1. "cf" refers to the Cloud Foundry command-line interface (CLI), which is used to interact with Cloud Foundry environments.
  2. "logs" is the specific CF CLI command to access application logs.
  3. "${app_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the application for which you want to retrieve logs. You should replace "${app_name}" with the actual name of your application.
  4. "--recent" is an optional flag that indicates you want to retrieve only the recent logs. Without this flag, the command will show the whole log history.

In summary, this command helps you fetch and display the most recent logs of a specific application in a Cloud Foundry environment.
