<strong><%= modified_date %></strong>

<%= vars.product_short %> treats logs as streams of time-ordered events aggregated from the output streams of all your app and <%= vars.product_short %> components, providing a single channel for all of the events.

View information about your running app using one of the logging commands, `cf logs`:

<pre class="terminal">
$ cf logs my-nodejs-app
