Test case description

Verify that developers can access real-time logs from running PrestaShop containers/services in the CSC Pouta environment, filter logs, and that logs are secure and contain required metadata.

Pre-state:

• PrestaShop is running in a Docker container on Ubuntu (CSC Pouta).
• Developer has appropriate access credentials (SSH, Docker group, or web interface).

Test Steps

1. Access the Ubuntu server via SSH.
2. List running Docker containers and identify the PrestaShop container.
3. Use docker logs -f <container_name> to view real-time logs.
4. Confirm that log output includes timestamps, severity level, and component/module information.
5. Apply filtering (e.g., grep "ERROR" or filter by service/module if supported).
6. Optionally, access logs via PrestaShop’s own dashboard under Advanced Parameters > Logs (if enabled)
7. Attempt to access logs without proper credentials to verify access is restricted.
8. Simulate an error in PrestaShop (e.g., invalid login) and trace the error in the logs.

Expected result

• Developer can access real-time logs from running containers/services.
• Logs include timestamps, severity, and component info.
• Logs can be filtered by service/module or keyword.
• Logs are accessible via CLI (Docker) and/or PrestaShop dashboard.
• Unauthorized access to logs is prevented.
• Developer can trace an error through the logs.
