Logging

Logging can be configured in the .env file using the LOG_* variables.

Log Levels

LOG_DEBUG=true acts like setting LOG_LEVEL=ALL

ALL

The LOG_LEVEL=ALL logs all system and custom defined log levels.

DEBUG

The LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG logs diagnostic information in a verbose, detailed manner. The log level should be used for testing, diagnostic, and troubleshooting purposes.

INFO

The LOG_LEVEL=INFO logs informative outputs of the system, such as services stopping or starting. The log level can be used to describe what a particular task has done, such as what data was accessed and what interactions were performed.

WARN

The LOG_LEVEL=WARN logs unexpected issues that may occur when it isn’t clear to the particular service what it should do with the input, or the provided data is malformed. The log level is used when the system functions correctly, but the issue should be looked into.

ERROR

The LOG_LEVEL=ERROR logs unexpected issues that prevent the system from functioning properly, such as inability to access files, other Corteza services, or external services. The log level is used when the issue is blocking the system from functioning properly. It should be addressed as a priority.

DPANIC

Reserved; unused.

PANIC

Reserved; unused.

FATAL

The LOG_LEVEL=FATAL logs unexpected issues which may cause a serious problem or a corruption to occur. The log level is used to indicate a catastrophic state of the system, which must be addressed as a priority.

OFF

If both logging .env variables are not set (LOG_DEBUG and LOG_LEVEL), logs are not recorded.

Env Variables:

# Logging level we want to use (values: debug, info, warn, error, dpanic, panic, fatal)
# Minimise the logging level. If set to "warn", Levels warn, error, dpanic panic and fatal will be logged.
LOG_LEVEL=debug

//Editor's note: Line 63 - MinimiZe

# Disables JSON format for logging and enables more human-readable output with colors.
# Disable for production.
LOG_DEBUG=true/false

# Log filtering rules by level and name (log-level:log-namespace).
# Please note that level (LOG_LEVEL) is applied before filter and it affects the final output!
# Leave unset for production.
# Log warnings, errors, panic, fatals. Everything from workflow is logged.
# See more examples and documentation here: https://github.com/moul/zapfilter
LOG_FILTER=warn+:workflow.*

# Set to true to see where the logging was called from.
# Disable for production.
LOG_INCLUDE_CALLER=true/false

# Include stack-trace when logging at a specified level or below.
# Disable for production.
# Default value: "dpanic"
# Possible values: debug, info, warn, error, dpanic, panic, fatal
LOG_STACKTRACE_LEVEL

Workflow Logging

The workflow function steps allow you to log messages from inside a workflow.

Make sure that the .env variables are set accordingly.

You can use a LOG_FILTER to show only the logs that match the provided pattern.

# Log filtering rules by level and name (log-level:log-namespace).
# Please note that level (LOG_LEVEL) is applied before filter and it affects the final output!
# Leave unset for production.
# Log warnings, errors, panic, fatals. Everything from workflow is logged.
# LOG_FILTER={LOG_LEVEL}+:workflow.*
LOG_FILTER=warn+:workflow.*

# For colorful and human-readable output
LOG_DEBUG=true
