Logging to SQLite

If a SQLite database file exists in ~/.llm/log.db then the tool will log all prompts and responses to it.

You can create that file by running the init-db command:

llm init-db

Now any prompts you run will be logged to that database.

To avoid logging a prompt, pass --no-log or -n to the command:

llm 'Ten names for cheesecakes' -n

Viewing the logs

You can view the logs using the llm logs command:

llm logs

This will output the three most recent logged items as a JSON array of objects.

Add -n 10 to see the ten most recent items:

llm logs -n 10

Or -n 0 to see everything that has ever been logged:

llm logs -n 0

You can truncate the displayed prompts and responses using the -t/--truncate option:

llm logs -n 5 -t

This is useful for finding a conversation that you would like to continue.

You can also use Datasette to browse your logs like this:

datasette ~/.llm/log.db
