One of my apps does not start after a restart. I changed several things on the Node-Red app and i think the restart will be a good idea.
On the logs view there was no good messages to see what is happening with Node-Red
So i start the terminal and go to use IBM cloud CLI
to get the app log just logon and type ibmcloud cf logs [appname] > log.txt
I saw the following messages

Node-Red was unable connect to Cloudant. But not was changed on Cloudant side.
I changed the Title of the app to another name before the restart, that was the cause of the problem.
I think there is a relation between the APP name and the Cloudant Service linked to the app
After i change the app name to the old one, Node-Red starts again.
