Help Wanted: Document how to use tail and jq to parse plugin and App framework logs

[mm-cloud-bot]

Mattermost user michael.kochell from https://community.mattermost.com has requested the following be documented:

As noted in this thread [<jump to convo>](/core/pl/8k8hd3xf3bfutgfwrs9cfypafo) - https://community.mattermost.com/core/pl/8k8hd3xf3bfutgfwrs9cfypafo, we can use the commands `tail` and `jq` together to parse Mattermost logs while the server is running. We can filter out logs for the App framework using this:

```sh
tail -f mattermost.log | jq -c 'select(.plugin_id=="com.mattermost.apps")'

See the original post [here](https://community.mattermost.com/_redirect/pl/papig1g3xtrwpdrti33ug9i87e).

@asatkinson - Do you have a resource available to help draft a dev docs update to address this request?

@cwarnermm I would like to take this up, Is there a specific Doc section that should have this documented? Please let me know and feel free to add any additional details to help me solve this. Thanks.

Hi @Rutam21! I think adding a new section called "Development Tips" (@cwarnermm does that sound okay?) to this page makes sense https://developers.mattermost.com/integrate/apps/quickstart

@cwarnermm I'd like to revisit this now. It seems the page at https://developers.mattermost.com/integrate/apps/quickstart is no longer available. Could you please direct me to the correct resource and share any updated notes on this, if needed? Thank you!
