Logging
=======
The salt project tries to get the logging to work for you and help us solve any
issues you might find along the way.
If you want to get some more information on the nitty-gritty of salt's logging
system, please head over to the :doc:`logging development
document</topics/development/logging>`, if all you're after is salt's logging
configurations, please continue reading.
Available Configuration Settings
================================
.. conf_log:: log_file
``log_file``
------------
The log records can be sent to a regular file, local path name, or network location.
Remote logging works best when configured to use rsyslogd(8) (e.g.: ``file:///dev/log``),
with rsyslogd(8) configured for network logging. The format for remote addresses is:
``<file|udp|tcp>://<host|socketpath>:<port-if-required>/<log-facility>``. Where ``log-facility`` is the symbolic name of a syslog facility as defined in the :ref:`SysLogHandler documentation <python2:logging.handlers.SysLogHandler.encodePriority>` . It defaults to ``LOG_USER``.
Default: Dependent of the binary being executed, for example, for ``salt-master``,
``/var/log/salt/master``.
Examples:
.. code-block:: yaml
log_file: /var/log/salt/master
.. code-block:: yaml
log_file: /var/log/salt/minion
.. code-block:: yaml
log_file: file:///dev/log
.. code-block:: yaml
log_file: file:///dev/log/LOG_DAEMON
.. code-block:: yaml
log_file: udp://loghost:10514
.. conf_log:: log_level
``log_level``
-------------
Default: ``warning``
The level of log record messages to send to the console. One of ``all``,
``garbage``, ``trace``, ``debug``, ``profile``, ``info``, ``warning``,
``error``, ``critical``, ``quiet``.
.. code-block:: yaml
log_level: warning
.. note::
Add ``log_level: quiet```in salt configuration file to completely disable
logging. In case of running salt in command line use``--log-level=quiet``
instead.
.. conf_log:: log_level_logfile
``log_level_logfile``
---------------------
Default: ``info``
The level of messages to send to the log file. One of ``all``, ``garbage``,
``trace``, ``debug``, ``profile``, ``info``, ``warning``, ``error``,
``critical``, ``quiet``.
.. code-block:: yaml
log_level_logfile: warning
.. conf_log:: log_datefmt
``log_datefmt``
---------------
Default: ``%H:%M:%S``
The date and time format used in console log messages. Allowed date/time
formatting can be seen on :func:`time.strftime <python2:time.strftime>`.
.. code-block:: yaml
log_datefmt: '%H:%M:%S'
.. conf_log:: log_datefmt_logfile
``log_datefmt_logfile``
-----------------------
Default: ``%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S``
The date and time format used in log file messages. Allowed date/time
formatting can be seen on :func:`time.strftime <python2:time.strftime>`.
.. code-block:: yaml
log_datefmt_logfile: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
.. conf_log:: log_fmt_console
``log_fmt_console``
-------------------
Default: ``[%(levelname)-8s] %(message)s``
The format of the console logging messages. All standard python logging
:ref:`LogRecord attributes <python2:logrecord-attributes>` can be used. Salt
also provides these custom LogRecord attributes to colorize console log output:
.. code-block:: python
'%(colorlevel)s' # log level name colorized by level
'%(colorname)s' # colorized module name
'%(colorprocess)s' # colorized process number
'%(colormsg)s' # log message colorized by level
.. note::
The ``%(colorlevel)s``, ``%(colorname)s``, and ``%(colorprocess)``
LogRecord attributes also include padding and enclosing brackets, ``[`` and
``]`` to match the default values of their collateral non-colorized
LogRecord attributes.
.. code-block:: yaml
log_fmt_console: '[%(levelname)-8s] %(message)s'
.. conf_log:: log_fmt_logfile
``log_fmt_logfile``
-------------------
Default: ``%(asctime)s,%(msecs)03d [%(name)-17s][%(levelname)-8s] %(message)s``
The format of the log file logging messages. All standard python logging
:ref:`LogRecord attributes <python2:logrecord-attributes>` can be used. Salt
also provides these custom LogRecord attributes that include padding and
enclosing brackets ``[`` and ``]``:
.. code-block:: python
'%(bracketlevel)s' # equivalent to [%(levelname)-8s]
'%(bracketname)s' # equivalent to [%(name)-17s]
'%(bracketprocess)s' # equivalent to [%(process)5s]
.. code-block:: yaml
log_fmt_logfile: '%(asctime)s,%(msecs)03d [%(name)-17s][%(levelname)-8s] %(message)s'
.. conf_log:: log_granular_levels
``log_granular_levels``
-----------------------
Default: ``{}``
This can be used to control logging levels more specifically. The example sets
the main salt library at the 'warning' level, but sets ``salt.modules`` to log
at the ``debug`` level:
.. code-block:: yaml
log_granular_levels:
'salt': 'warning'
'salt.modules': 'debug'
External Logging Handlers
-------------------------
Besides the internal logging handlers used by salt, there are some external
which can be used, see the :doc:`external logging handlers<handlers/index>`
document.
