A short tour of the Hatchbox SSH workflow for watching what's happening on a live server in real time. Connect via SSH, tail the production logs, reproduce activity in the app to see it stream in, and then delegate the same task to Claude Code for AI-assisted troubleshooting.
- When you'd want to inspect live server logs (errors, bug reports, reproducing user issues)
- Finding the SSH command in Hatchbox under Servers → SSH
- Connecting with
ssh deploy@<ip>from the terminal - Using Hatchbox's prebuilt command to tail production logs
- Watching real-time log activity as you navigate pages and create records
- Copying log errors back into Claude Code to debug
- Letting Claude Code SSH in directly to read logs by passing it the connection command
- Why default Claude Code permissions block this and how to handle it
- Cautions around interacting with a live production environment
