homebrew-services: How do we see the details if the service shows the state "error"

I installed mysql via brew and I saw that it was working yesterday by list command;

brew services list

But today I see that mysql service has the “error” state even though it looks like it works without a problem.

Now how can we see why brew list says there is an error and how do we see the details of this “error” state?

That diff to the plist should work.
