Logging

The optional logging config adjusts the output format and verbosity of ContainerPilot logs.

  • level adjusts the verbosity of the messages output by containerpilot. Must be one of: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC (Default is INFO)
  • format adjust the output format for log messages. Can be default, text, or json (Default is default)
  • output picks the output stream for log messages. Can be stderr or stdout (Default is stdout)

There are two sources of log data with ContainerPilot. First, ContainerPilot logs information about its own state, such as when jobs fail to run or events are triggered. Please note that DEBUG logging includes every event that's emitted by every job, and this can be quite a lot of information.

The second source of logs are the processes run by jobs and their health checks. By default, ContainerPilot attaches to stdout and stderr for every process it starts, and streams these logs to the logging framework. These logs will be emitted at INFO level, with one log entry per line emitted to stdout or stderr. The child process should terminate its output with newlines. The user can turn off this behavior for a job or its health check by setting the raw field of its logging configuration to true.

Logging Format Examples:

default - Uses the Go stdlib log package but with RFC3339 date format. Note that this format does not include any annotations about the origin of the log line, including the log level.

Logging details here do not affect how the Docker daemon (or other container runtime) handles logging. See this blog post for a narrative and examples of how to manage log output from the container.
