WebStorm see TypeScript server logs

In VSCode I can go into 'OUTPUT' and see logs of all internal tasks that VSCode is running for me, for example a TypeScript server:

enter image description here

I need to see the logs of the TypeScript server in WebStorm because I need to debug weird compilation behavior.

How can I reveal all tasks and servers and their logs WebStorm is running for me?

The accepted answer does not give the actual tsserver logs AFAICS, but rather a trace of what webstorm send and receive to the server (which is useful in itself).

Turning on logging is done using an environment variable:

$ export TSS_LOG="-level verbose -file /tmp/webstorm-tsserver.log"
$ webstorm

Details: (Webstorm version: 2022.1.3 (linux))

Webstorm overrides TSS_LOG to -level verbose when #com.intellij.lang.javascript.service.JSLanguageServiceQueue:trace is set. In that case the logs are written to $PROJECT_ROOT/.log$PID

You can enable debug logging for #com.intellij.lang.javascript.service.JSLanguageServiceQueue:trace in Help | Debug log settings and then inspect the idea.log.* files (Help > Show Log in ...) as well as the .log files created in your project folder while working with your app
