http-logger |
http-logger
is a plugin which push Log data requests to HTTP/HTTPS servers.
This will provide the ability to send Log data requests as JSON objects to Monitoring tools and other HTTP servers.
Name | Type | Requirement | Default | Valid | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
uri | string | required | The URI of the HTTP/HTTPS server. |
||
auth_header | string | optional | "" | Any authorization headers. | |
timeout | integer | optional | 3 | [1,...] | Time to keep the connection alive after sending a request. |
name | string | optional | "http logger" | A unique identifier to identity the logger. | |
include_req_body | boolean | optional | false | [false, true] | Whether to include the request body. false: indicates that the requested body is not included; true: indicates that the requested body is included. Note: if the request body is too big to be kept in the memory, it can't be logged due to Nginx's limitation. |
include_resp_body | boolean | optional | false | [false, true] | Whether to include the response body. The response body is included if and only if it is true . |
include_resp_body_expr | array | optional | When include_resp_body is true, control the behavior based on the result of the lua-resty-expr expression. If present, only log the response body when the result is true. |
||
concat_method | string | optional | "json" | ["json", "new_line"] | Enum type: json and new_line . json: use json.encode for all pending logs. new_line: use json.encode for each pending log and concat them with "\n" line. |
ssl_verify | boolean | optional | false | [false, true] | Whether to verify certificate. |
The plugin supports the use of batch processors to aggregate and process entries(logs/data) in a batch. This avoids frequent data submissions by the plugin, which by default the batch processor submits data every 5
seconds or when the data in the queue reaches 1000
. For information or custom batch processor parameter settings, see Batch-Processor configuration section.
The following is an example of how to enable the http-logger
for a specific route. You could generate a mock HTTP server at mockbin to view the logs.
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"plugins": {
"http-logger": {
"uri": "http://mockbin.org/bin/:ID"
}
},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1
}
},
"uri": "/hello"
}'
success:
$ curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
hello, world
Name | Type | Requirement | Default | Valid | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
log_format | object | optional | {"host": "$host", "@timestamp": "$time_iso8601", "client_ip": "$remote_addr"} | Log format declared as key value pair in JSON format. Only string is supported in the value part. If the value starts with $ , it means to get APISIX variable or Nginx variable. |
Note that the metadata configuration is applied in global scope, which means it will take effect on all Route or Service which use http-logger plugin.
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/plugin_metadata/http-logger -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"log_format": {
"host": "$host",
"@timestamp": "$time_iso8601",
"client_ip": "$remote_addr"
}
}'
It is expected to see some logs like that:
{"host":"localhost","@timestamp":"2020-09-23T19:05:05-04:00","client_ip":"127.0.0.1","route_id":"1"}
{"host":"localhost","@timestamp":"2020-09-23T19:05:05-04:00","client_ip":"127.0.0.1","route_id":"1"}
Remove the corresponding json configuration in the plugin configuration to disable the http-logger
.
APISIX plugins are hot-reloaded, therefore no need to restart APISIX.
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/hello",
"plugins": {},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1
}
}
}'
