Enable Debug Logging

As part of your infrastructure-as-code deployment, you may wish to control log levels of the deployments using a customization.

By default, ESS uses INFO level logging. To change a service’s log level, you can create an overlay to update the QUARKUS_LOG_LEVEL value. For example, to enable DEBUG level logging for ess-ldp, you could use the following customization and apply it to your cluster.

Example Customization

1. Create an overlay structure as described in Customize ESS.

2. Add the customization overlay:

   #kustomization.yaml
   
   ...
   
   apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1
   kind: Component
   
   patches:
     - target:
         kind: Deployment
         name: ess-ldp
       patch: |-
         apiVersion: apps/v1
         kind: Deployment
         metadata:
           name: not-important
         spec:
           template:
             spec:
               containers:
                 - name: ess-ldp
                   env:
                     - name: QUARKUS_LOG_LEVEL
                       value: DEBUG
