Logging

RoadRunner provides the ability to control the log for each plugin individually.

#Global configuration

To configure logging globally use logs config section:

logs:
  mode: production
  output: stderr

To use develop mode. It enables development mode (which makes DPanicLevel logs panic), uses a console encoder, writes to standard error, and disables sampling. Stacktraces are automatically included on logs of WarnLevel and above.

logs:
  mode: development
  output: stderr

To output to separate file:

logs:
  mode: production
  output: stderr
  file_logger_options:
    log_output: "/tmp/my.log"
    max_size: 100
    max_age: 1
    max_backups : 5
    compress: false

To use console friendly output:

logs:
  encoding: console # default value

To suppress messages under specific log level:

logs:
  encoding: console # default value
  level: info

#File logger

It is possibe to redirect channels or whole log output to the file:

Config sample with file logger:

logs:
  mode: development
  level: debug
  file_logger_options:
    log_output: "test.log"
    max_size: 10
    max_age: 24
    max_backups: 10
    compress: true

OR for the log channel:

logs:
  mode: development
  level: debug
  channels:
      http:
          file_logger_options:
              log_output: "test.log"
              max_size: 10
              max_age: 24
              max_backups: 10
              compress: true

#Custom line endings

Starting from the v2.5.0 RR allows configuring custom line endings for the logger.

# Logs plugin settings
logs:
    (....)
    # Line ending
    #
    # Default: "\n".
    line_ending: "\n"

1. log_output: Filename is the file to write logs to in the same directory. It uses processname-lumberjack.log in os.TempDir() if empty.
2. max_size: is the maximum size in megabytes of the log file before it gets rotated. It defaults to 100 megabytes.
3. max_age: is the maximum number of days to retain old log files based on the timestamp encoded in their filename. Note that a day is defined as 24 hours and may not exactly correspond to calendar days due to daylight savings, leap seconds, etc. The default is not to remove old log files based on age.
4. max_backups: is the maximum number of old log files to retain. The default is to retain all old log files (though MaxAge may still cause them to get deleted.)
5. compress: determines if the rotated log files should be compressed using gzip. The default is not to perform compression.
6. log_ending: line ending to use in the logger. Default is new line - \n.

#Channels

In addition, you can configure each plugin log messages individually using channels section:

version: "2.7"

logs:
  encoding: console # default value
  level: info
  channels:
    server.mode: none # disable server logging. Also `off` can be used.
    http:
      mode: production
      output: http.log

#Summary

1. Levels: panic, error, warn, info, debug. Default: debug.
2. Encodings: console, json. Default: console.
3. Modes: production, development, raw. Default: development.
4. Output: stderr, stdout. Default stderr.
5. Error output: stderr, stdout. Default stderr.
