The Nomad server locks access to the data 15 directory, so this command cannot be run on a data directory that is 16 being used by a running Nomad server. 17 18 ~> **Warning:** This is a low-level debugging tool and not subject to 19 Nomad's usual backward compatibility guarantees. 20 21 ## Usage 22 23 ```plaintext 24 nomad operator raft logs [options] <path to data dir> 25 ``` 26 27 ## Examples 28 29 The output of this command can be very large, so it's recommended that 30 you redirect the output to a file for later examination with other 31 tools. 32 33 ```shell-session 34 $ sudo nomad operator raft logs /var/nomad/data > ~/raft-logs.json 35 $ jq . < ~/raft-logs.json 36 ``` 37 38 [data directory]: /docs/configuration#data_dir
