Logging

The Uitsmijter authorisation server logs in different levels and formats. As default, it logs in INFO and plain strings onto the console but ndjson format is also supported.

The default might change in the future because ndjson is more commonly used.

Setting the level

The following levels are available:

Name	Description
trace	Appropriate for messages that contain information normally of use only when tracing the execution of a program.
debug	Appropriate for messages that contain information normally of use only when debugging a program.
info	Appropriate for informational messages.
notice	Appropriate for conditions that are not error conditions, but that may require special handling.
warning	Appropriate for messages that are not error conditions, but more severe than notice.
error	Appropriate for error conditions.
critical	Appropriate for critical error conditions that usually require immediate attention.

Set the LOG_LEVEL as an environment variable to get the logs of the level of detail you need.

If you run Uitsmijter in local development mode, you can set the environment variable LOG_LEVEL in the file .env.

LOG_LEVEL=debug

Installing on Kubernetes via Helm you set the environment variable in a Values.yaml. Please have a look at the deployment documentation

Setting the format

Those formats are available

Name	Description
console	Logs a plain log string in the format of `[ level ] Message`.
ndjson	Logs detailed information as a one line json string.

Set the LOG_FORMAT as environment variable to log in the needed form.

If you run Uitsmijter in local development mode, you can set the environment variable LOG_LEVEL in the file .env.
