== Configure logging
|
|
|
|
The `logging` section of the +{beatname_lc}.yml+ config file contains options
|
|
for configuring the logging output. The logging system can write logs to
|
|
the syslog or rotate log files. If logging is not explicitly configured the file
|
|
output is used.
|
|
|
|
["source","yaml",subs="attributes"]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
logging.level: info
|
|
logging.to_files: true
|
|
logging.files:
|
|
path: /var/log/{beatname_lc}
|
|
name: {beatname_lc}
|
|
keepfiles: 7
|
|
permissions: 0644
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
TIP: In addition to setting logging options in the config file, you can modify
|
|
the logging output configuration from the command line. See
|
|
<<command-line-options>>.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Configuration options
|
|
|
|
You can specify the following options in the `logging` section of the
|
|
+{beatname_lc}.yml+ config file:
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.to_syslog`
|
|
|
|
When true, writes all logging output to the syslog.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This option is not supported on Windows.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.to_eventlog`
|
|
|
|
When true, writes all logging output to the Windows Event Log.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.to_files`
|
|
|
|
When true, writes all logging output to files. The log files are automatically
|
|
rotated when the log file size limit is reached.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: {beatname_uc} only creates a log file if there is logging output. For
|
|
example, if you set the log <<level,`level`>> to `error` and there are no
|
|
errors, there will be no log file in the directory specified for logs.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
[[level]]
|
|
==== `logging.level`
|
|
|
|
Minimum log level. One of `debug`, `info`, `warning`, or `error`. The default
|
|
log level is `info`.
|
|
|
|
`debug`:: Logs debug messages, including a detailed printout of all events
|
|
flushed. Also logs informational messages, warnings, errors, and
|
|
critical errors. When the log level is `debug`, you can specify a list of
|
|
<<selectors,`selectors`>> to display debug messages for specific components. If
|
|
no selectors are specified, the `*` selector is used to display debug messages
|
|
for all components.
|
|
|
|
`info`:: Logs informational messages, including the number of events that are
|
|
published. Also logs any warnings, errors, or critical errors.
|
|
|
|
`warning`:: Logs warnings, errors, and critical errors.
|
|
|
|
`error`:: Logs errors and critical errors.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
[[selectors]]
|
|
==== `logging.selectors`
|
|
|
|
The list of debugging-only selector tags used by different {beatname_uc} components.
|
|
Use `*` to enable debug output for all components. For example add `publish` to display
|
|
all the debug messages related to event publishing. When starting {beatname_lc},
|
|
selectors can be overwritten using the `-d` command line option (`-d` also sets
|
|
the debug log level).
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.metrics.enabled`
|
|
|
|
If enabled, {beatname_uc} periodically logs its internal metrics that have
|
|
changed in the last period. For each metric that changed, the delta from the
|
|
value at the beginning of the period is logged. Also, the total values for all
|
|
non-zero internal metrics are logged on shutdown. The default is true.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example log line:
|
|
|
|
[source,shell]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
2017-12-17T19:17:42.667-0500 INFO [metrics] log/log.go:110 Non-zero metrics in the last 30s: beat.info.uptime.ms=30004 beat.memstats.gc_next=5046416
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Note that we currently offer no backwards compatible guarantees for the internal
|
|
metrics and for this reason they are also not documented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.metrics.period`
|
|
|
|
The period after which to log the internal metrics. The default is 30s.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.files.path`
|
|
|
|
The directory that log files are written to. The default is the logs path. See
|
|
the <<directory-layout>> section for details.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.files.name`
|
|
|
|
The name of the file that logs are written to. The default is '{beatname_lc}'.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.files.rotateeverybytes`
|
|
|
|
The maximum size of a log file. If the limit is reached, a new log file is
|
|
generated. The default size limit is 10485760 (10 MB).
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.files.keepfiles`
|
|
|
|
The number of most recent rotated log files to keep on disk. Older files are
|
|
deleted during log rotation. The default value is 7. The `keepfiles` options has
|
|
to be in the range of 2 to 1024 files.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.files.permissions`
|
|
|
|
The permissions mask to apply when rotating log files. The default value is
|
|
0600. The `permissions` option must be a valid Unix-style file permissions mask
|
|
expressed in octal notation. In Go, numbers in octal notation must start with
|
|
'0'.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
* 0644: give read and write access to the file owner, and read access to all others.
|
|
* 0600: give read and write access to the file owner, and no access to all others.
|
|
* 0664: give read and write access to the file owner and members of the group
|
|
associated with the file, as well as read access to all other users.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.files.interval`
|
|
|
|
Enable log file rotation on time intervals in addition to size-based rotation.
|
|
Intervals must be at least 1s. Values of 1m, 1h, 24h, 7*24h, 30*24h, and 365*24h
|
|
are boundary-aligned with minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years as
|
|
reported by the local system clock. All other intervals are calculated from the
|
|
unix epoch. Defaults to disabled.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `logging.json`
|
|
|
|
When true, logs messages in JSON format. The default is false.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Logging format
|
|
|
|
The logging format is generally the same for each logging output. The one
|
|
exception is with the syslog output where the timestamp is not included in the
|
|
message because syslog adds its own timestamp.
|
|
|
|
Each log message consists of the following parts:
|
|
|
|
* Timestamp in ISO8601 format
|
|
* Level
|
|
* Logger name contained in brackets (Optional)
|
|
* File name and line number of the caller
|
|
* Message
|
|
* Structured data encoded in JSON (Optional)
|
|
