How to access Console Device log in macOS via terminal
macOS has Console app to view different logging activities. Console has a group Devices in the top left corner with the mac itself and connected devices such as iPhone. I would like to access mac device log via terminal. I need it to check logs of remote mac server without TeamViewer and any GUI interactions to do it faster using ssh. Is it possible?
