Logs
====
Swift has quite verbose logging, and the generated logs can be used for
cluster monitoring, utilization calculations, audit records, and more. As an
overview, Swift's logs are sent to syslog and organized by log level and
syslog facility. All log lines related to the same request have the same
transaction id. This page documents the log formats used in the system.
.. note::
By default, Swift will log full log lines. However, with the
``log_max_line_length`` setting and depending on your logging server
software, lines may be truncated or shortened. With ``log_max_line_length <
7``, the log line will be truncated. With ``log_max_line_length >= 7``, the
log line will be "shortened": about half the max length followed by " ... "
followed by the other half the max length. Unless you use exceptionally
short values, you are unlikely to run across this with the following
documented log lines, but you may see it with debugging and error log
lines.
----------
Proxy Logs
----------
The proxy logs contain the record of all external API requests made to the
proxy server. Swift's proxy servers log requests using a custom format
designed to provide robust information and simple processing. It is possible
to change this format with the ``log_msg_template`` config parameter.
The default log format is::
{client_ip} {remote_addr} {end_time.datetime} {method} {path} {protocol}
{status_int} {referer} {user_agent} {auth_token} {bytes_recvd}
{bytes_sent} {client_etag} {transaction_id} {headers} {request_time}
{source} {log_info} {start_time} {end_time} {policy_index}
Some keywords, signaled by the (anonymizable) flag, can be anonymized by
using the transformer 'anonymized'. The data are applied the hashing method of
`log_anonymization_method` and an optional salt `log_anonymization_salt`.
Some keywords, signaled by the (timestamp) flag, can be converted to standard
dates formats using the matching transformers: 'datetime', 'asctime' or
'iso8601'. Other transformers for timestamps are 's', 'ms', 'us' and 'ns' for
seconds, milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds. Python's strftime
directives can also be used as tranformers (a, A, b, B, c, d, H, I, j, m, M, p,
S, U, w, W, x, X, y, Y, Z).
Example {client_ip.anonymized} {remote_addr.anonymized} {start_time.iso8601}
{end_time.H}:{end_time.M} {method} acc:{account} cnt:{container}
obj:{object.anonymized}
=================== ==========================================================
**Log Field** **Value**
------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
client_ip Swift's guess at the end-client IP, taken from various
headers in the request. (anonymizable)
remote_addr The IP address of the other end of the TCP connection.
(anonymizable)
end_time Timestamp of the request. (timestamp)
method The HTTP verb in the request.
path The path portion of the request. (anonymizable)
protocol The transport protocol used (currently one of http or
https).
status_int The response code for the request.
referer The value of the HTTP Referer header. (anonymizable)
user_agent The value of the HTTP User-Agent header. (anonymizable)
auth_token The value of the auth token. This may be truncated or
otherwise obscured.
bytes_recvd The number of bytes read from the client for this request.
bytes_sent The number of bytes sent to the client in the body of the
response. This is how many bytes were yielded to the WSGI
server.
client_etag The etag header value given by the client. (anonymizable)
transaction_id The transaction id of the request.
headers The headers given in the request. (anonymizable)
request_time The duration of the request.
source The "source" of the request. This may be set for requests
that are generated in order to fulfill client requests,
e.g. bulk uploads.
log_info Various info that may be useful for diagnostics, e.g. the
value of any x-delete-at header.
start_time High-resolution timestamp from the start of the request.
(timestamp)
end_time High-resolution timestamp from the end of the request.
(timestamp)
ttfb Duration between the request and the first bytes is sent.
policy_index The value of the storage policy index.
account The account part extracted from the path of the request.
(anonymizable)
container The container part extracted from the path of the request.
(anonymizable)
object The object part extracted from the path of the request.
(anonymizable)
pid PID of the process emitting the log line.
=================== ==========================================================
In one log line, all of the above fields are space-separated and url-encoded.
If any value is empty, it will be logged as a "-". This allows for simple
parsing by splitting each line on whitespace. New values may be placed at the
end of the log line from time to time, but the order of the existing values
will not change. Swift log processing utilities should look for the first N
fields they require (e.g. in Python using something like
``log_line.split()[:14]`` to get up through the transaction id).
.. note::
Some log fields (like the request path) are already url quoted, so the
logged value will be double-quoted. For example, if a client uploads an
object name with a ``:`` in it, it will be url-quoted as ``%3A``. The log
module will then quote this value as ``%253A``.
Swift Source
============
The ``source`` value in the proxy logs is used to identify the originator of a
request in the system. For example, if the client initiates a bulk upload, the
proxy server may end up doing many requests. The initial bulk upload request
will be logged as normal, but all of the internal "child requests" will have a
source value indicating they came from the bulk functionality.

Storage Node Logs
-----------------
Swift's account, container, and object server processes each log requests
that they receive, if they have been configured to do so with the
``log_requests`` config parameter (which defaults to true). The format for
these log lines is::
remote_addr - - [datetime] "request_method request_path" status_int
content_length "referer" "transaction_id" "user_agent" request_time
additional_info server_pid policy_index
=================== ==========================================================
**Log Field** **Value**
------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
remote_addr The IP address of the other end of the TCP connection.
datetime Timestamp of the request, in
"day/month/year:hour:minute:second +0000" format.
request_method The HTTP verb in the request.
request_path The path portion of the request.
status_int The response code for the request.
content_length The value of the Content-Length header in the response.
referer The value of the HTTP Referer header.
transaction_id The transaction id of the request.
user_agent The value of the HTTP User-Agent header. Swift services
report a user-agent string of the service name followed by
the process ID, such as ``"proxy-server <pid of the
proxy>"`` or ``"object-updater <pid of the object
updater>"``.
request_time The duration of the request.
additional_info Additional useful information.
server_pid The process id of the server
policy_index The value of the storage policy index.
