.. _config_access_log: Access logging ============== Configuration ------------------------- Access logs are configured as part of the :ref:`HTTP connection manager config ` or :ref:`TCP Proxy `. * :ref:`v3 API reference ` .. _config_access_log_format: Format Rules ------------ Access log formats contain command operators that extract the relevant data and insert it. They support two formats: :ref:`"format strings" ` and :ref:`"format dictionaries" `. In both cases, the command operators are used to extract the relevant data, which is then inserted into the specified log format. Only one access log format may be specified at a time. .. _config_access_log_format_strings: Format Strings -------------- Format strings are plain strings, specified using the ``format`` key. They may contain either command operators or other characters interpreted as a plain string. The access log formatter does not make any assumptions about a new line separator, so one has to specified as part of the format string. See the :ref:`default format ` for an example. .. _config_access_log_default_format: Default Format String --------------------- If custom format string is not specified, Envoy uses the following default format: .. code-block:: none [%START_TIME%] "%REQ(:METHOD)% %REQ(X-ENVOY-ORIGINAL-PATH?:PATH)% %PROTOCOL%" %RESPONSE_CODE% %RESPONSE_FLAGS% %BYTES_RECEIVED% %BYTES_SENT% %DURATION% %RESP(X-ENVOY-UPSTREAM-SERVICE-TIME)% "%REQ(X-FORWARDED-FOR)%" "%REQ(USER-AGENT)%" "%REQ(X-REQUEST-ID)%" "%REQ(:AUTHORITY)%" "%UPSTREAM_HOST%"\n Example of the default Envoy access log format: .. code-block:: none [2016-04-15T20:17:00.310Z] "POST /api/v1/locations HTTP/2" 204 - 154 0 226 100 "10.0.35.28" "nsq2http" "cc21d9b0-cf5c-432b-8c7e-98aeb7988cd2" "locations" "tcp://10.0.2.1:80" .. _config_access_log_format_dictionaries: Format Dictionaries ------------------- Format dictionaries are dictionaries that specify a structured access log output format, specified using the ``json_format`` or ``typed_json_format`` keys. This allows logs to be output in a structured format such as JSON. Similar to format strings, command operators are evaluated and their values inserted into the format dictionary to construct the log output. For example, with the following format provided in the configuration as ``json_format``: .. code-block:: json { "config": { "json_format": { "protocol": "%PROTOCOL%", "duration": "%DURATION%", "my_custom_header": "%REQ(MY_CUSTOM_HEADER)%" } } } The following JSON object would be written to the log file: .. code-block:: json {"protocol": "HTTP/1.1", "duration": "123", "my_custom_header": "value_of_MY_CUSTOM_HEADER"} This allows you to specify a custom key for each command operator. The ``typed_json_format`` differs from ``json_format`` in that values are rendered as JSON numbers, booleans, and nested objects or lists where applicable. In the example, the request duration would be rendered as the number ``123``. Format dictionaries have the following restrictions: * The dictionary must map strings to strings (specifically, strings to command operators). Nesting is supported. * When using the ``typed_json_format`` command operators will only produce typed output if the command operator is the only string that appears in the dictionary value. For example, ``"%DURATION%"`` will log a numeric duration value, but ``"%DURATION%.0"`` will log a string value. .. note:: When using the ``typed_json_format``, integer values that exceed :math:`2^{53}` will be represented with reduced precision as they must be converted to floating point numbers. .. _config_access_log_command_operators: Command Operators ----------------- Command operators are used to extract values that will be inserted into the access logs. The same operators are used by different types of access logs (such as HTTP and TCP). Some fields may have slightly different meanings, depending on what type of log it is. Differences are noted. Note that if a value is not set/empty, the logs will contain a ``-`` character or, for JSON logs, the string ``"-"``. For typed JSON logs unset values are represented as ``null`` values and empty strings are rendered as ``""``. :ref:`omit_empty_values ` option could be used to omit empty values entirely. Unless otherwise noted, command operators produce string outputs for typed JSON logs. The following command operators are supported: .. _config_access_log_format_start_time: %START_TIME% HTTP Request start time including milliseconds. TCP Downstream connection start time including milliseconds. START_TIME can be customized using a `format string `_. In addition to that, START_TIME also accepts following specifiers: +------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Specifier | Explanation | +========================+=============================================================+ | ``%s`` | The number of seconds since the Epoch | +------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``%f``, ``%[1-9]f`` | Fractional seconds digits, default is 9 digits (nanosecond) | | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | | - ``%3f`` millisecond (3 digits) | | | - ``%6f`` microsecond (6 digits) | | | - ``%9f`` nanosecond (9 digits) | +------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ Examples of formatting START_TIME is as follows: .. code-block:: none %START_TIME(%Y/%m/%dT%H:%M:%S%z %s)% # To include millisecond fraction of the second (.000 ... .999). E.g. 1527590590.528. %START_TIME(%s.%3f)% %START_TIME(%s.%6f)% %START_TIME(%s.%9f)% In typed JSON logs, START_TIME is always rendered as a string. %BYTES_RECEIVED% HTTP Body bytes received. TCP Downstream bytes received on connection. Renders a numeric value in typed JSON logs. %PROTOCOL% HTTP Protocol. Currently either *HTTP/1.1* or *HTTP/2*. TCP Not implemented ("-"). In typed JSON logs, PROTOCOL will render the string ``"-"`` if the protocol is not available (e.g. in TCP logs). %RESPONSE_CODE% HTTP HTTP response code. Note that a response code of '0' means that the server never sent the beginning of a response. This generally means that the (downstream) client disconnected. Note that in the case of 100-continue responses, only the response code of the final headers will be logged. If a 100-continue is followed by a 200, the logged response will be 200. If a 100-continue results in a disconnect, the 100 will be logged. TCP Not implemented ("-"). Renders a numeric value in typed JSON logs. .. _config_access_log_format_response_code_details: %RESPONSE_CODE_DETAILS% HTTP HTTP response code details provides additional information about the response code, such as who set it (the upstream or envoy) and why. TCP Not implemented ("-") .. _config_access_log_format_connection_termination_details: %CONNECTION_TERMINATION_DETAILS% HTTP and TCP Connection termination details may provide additional information about why the connection was terminated by Envoy for L4 reasons. %BYTES_SENT% HTTP Body bytes sent. For WebSocket connection it will also include response header bytes. TCP Downstream bytes sent on connection. Renders a numeric value in typed JSON logs. %DURATION% HTTP Total duration in milliseconds of the request from the start time to the last byte out. TCP Total duration in milliseconds of the downstream connection. Renders a numeric value in typed JSON logs. %REQUEST_DURATION% HTTP Total duration in milliseconds of the request from the start time to the last byte of the request received from the downstream. TCP Not implemented ("-"). Renders a numeric value in typed JSON logs. %RESPONSE_DURATION% HTTP Total duration in milliseconds of the request from the start time to the first byte read from the upstream host. TCP Not implemented ("-"). Renders a numeric value in typed JSON logs. %RESPONSE_TX_DURATION% HTTP Total duration in milliseconds of the request from the first byte read from the upstream host to the last byte sent downstream. TCP Not implemented ("-"). Renders a numeric value in typed JSON logs. .. _config_access_log_format_response_flags: %RESPONSE_FLAGS% Additional details about the response or connection, if any. For TCP connections, the response codes mentioned in the descriptions do not apply. Possible values are: HTTP and TCP * **UH**: No healthy upstream hosts in upstream cluster in addition to 503 response code. * **UF**: Upstream connection failure in addition to 503 response code. * **UO**: Upstream overflow (:ref:`circuit breaking `) in addition to 503 response code. * **NR**: No :ref:`route configured ` for a given request in addition to 404 response code, or no matching filter chain for a downstream connection. * **URX**: The request was rejected because the :ref:`upstream retry limit (HTTP) ` or :ref:`maximum connect attempts (TCP) ` was reached.

If the address is an IP address it includes both address and port. .. note:: This is always the physical remote address of the peer even if the downstream remote address has been inferred from :ref:`proxy proto ` or :ref:`x-forwarded-for `. %DOWNSTREAM_DIRECT_REMOTE_ADDRESS_WITHOUT_PORT% The direct remote address of the downstream connection. If the address is an IP address the output does *not* include port. .. note:: This is always the physical remote address of the peer even if the downstream remote address has been inferred from :ref:`proxy proto ` or :ref:`x-forwarded-for `. %DOWNSTREAM_LOCAL_ADDRESS% Local address of the downstream connection. If the address is an IP address it includes both address and port. If the original connection was redirected by iptables REDIRECT, this represents the original destination address restored by the :ref:`Original Destination Filter ` using SO_ORIGINAL_DST socket option. If the original connection was redirected by iptables TPROXY, and the listener's transparent option was set to true, this represents the original destination address and port. %DOWNSTREAM_LOCAL_ADDRESS_WITHOUT_PORT% Same as **%DOWNSTREAM_LOCAL_ADDRESS%** excluding port if the address is an IP address. .. _config_access_log_format_connection_id: %CONNECTION_ID% An identifier for the downstream connection.

TCP Not implemented ("-"). %DYNAMIC_METADATA(NAMESPACE:KEY*):Z% HTTP :ref:`Dynamic Metadata ` info, where NAMESPACE is the filter namespace used when setting the metadata, KEY is an optional lookup up key in the namespace with the option of specifying nested keys separated by ':', and Z is an optional parameter denoting string truncation up to Z characters long. Dynamic Metadata can be set by filters using the :repo:`StreamInfo ` API: *setDynamicMetadata*. The data will be logged as a JSON string. For example, for the following dynamic metadata: ``com.test.my_filter: {"test_key": "foo", "test_object": {"inner_key": "bar"}}`` * %DYNAMIC_METADATA(com.test.my_filter)% will log: ``{"test_key": "foo", "test_object": {"inner_key": "bar"}}`` * %DYNAMIC_METADATA(com.test.my_filter:test_key)% will log: ``"foo"`` * %DYNAMIC_METADATA(com.test.my_filter:test_object)% will log: ``{"inner_key": "bar"}`` * %DYNAMIC_METADATA(com.test.my_filter:test_object:inner_key)% will log: ``"bar"`` * %DYNAMIC_METADATA(com.unknown_filter)% will log: ``-`` * %DYNAMIC_METADATA(com.test.my_filter:unknown_key)% will log: ``-`` * %DYNAMIC_METADATA(com.test.my_filter):25% will log (truncation at 25 characters): ``{"test_key": "foo", "test`` TCP Not implemented ("-"). .. note:: For typed JSON logs, this operator renders a single value with string, numeric, or boolean type when the referenced key is a simple value. If the referenced key is a struct or list value, a JSON struct or list is rendered. Structs and lists may be nested. In any event, the maximum length is ignored .. _config_access_log_format_filter_state: %FILTER_STATE(KEY:F):Z% HTTP :ref:`Filter State ` info, where the KEY is required to look up the filter state object. The serialized proto will be logged as JSON string if possible. If the serialized proto is unknown to Envoy it will be logged as protobuf debug string. Z is an optional parameter denoting string truncation up to Z characters long. F is an optional parameter used to indicate which method FilterState uses for serialization. If 'PLAIN' is set, the filter state object will be serialized as an unstructured string. If 'TYPED' is set or no F provided, the filter state object will be serialized as an JSON string. TCP Same as HTTP, the filter state is from connection instead of a L7 request. .. note:: For typed JSON logs, this operator renders a single value with string, numeric, or boolean type when the referenced key is a simple value. If the referenced key is a struct or list value, a JSON struct or list is rendered. Structs and lists may be nested.
