Update Log Level#

By default, ESS uses INFO level logging. As part of your infrastructure-as-code deployment, you may wish to control log levels of the deployments using a customization.

For example, when debugging an issue you may temporarily enable DEBUG (or even TRACE) level logs to get more granular information on system behavior.

To change a service’s log level, you can create an overlay to update the QUARKUS_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to a supported value.

To enable TRACE level logs (the most verbose log level supported) you must also adjust the QUARKUS_LOG_MIN_LEVEL environment variable (which defaults to DEBUG) to TRACE.

Example Debug Logging Customization File#

You can use the following procedure to enable DEBUG level logging for pod-provisioning:

Go to your ESS installation directory:
```
cd ${HOME}/ess
```

Modify the kustomization.yaml (i.e., step 3 of the Applying Your Customizations procedure).

Specifically, add the highlighted content to the kustomization.yaml file under the patches key:

Tip

If patches list does not exist in kustomization.yaml, add the key patches as well.

# kustomization.yaml in your ESS installation directory

# ...  Preceding content omitted for brevity 
# ...

patches:
  - target:
      kind: Deployment
      name: ess-pod-provision
    patch: |-
      apiVersion: apps/v1
      kind: Deployment
      metadata:
        name: ess-pod-provision
      spec:
        template:
          spec:
            containers:
              - env:
                - name: QUARKUS_LOG_LEVEL
                  value: DEBUG
                name: ess-pod-provision

Continue with the rest of the Applying Your Customizations procedure.

Tip

Remember to reset the log level when you’re finished debugging.

Example Trace Logging Customization File#

You can use the following procedure to enable TRACE level logging for openid:

Go to your ESS installation directory:
```
cd ${HOME}/ess
```

Modify the kustomization.yaml (i.e., step 3 of the Applying Your Customizations procedure).

Specifically, add the highlighted content to the kustomization.yaml file under the patches key:

Tip

If patches list does not exist in kustomization.yaml, add the key patches as well.

# kustomization.yaml in your ESS installation directory

# ...  Preceding content omitted for brevity
# ...

patches:
  - target:
      kind: Deployment
      name: ess-openid
    patch: |-
      apiVersion: apps/v1
      kind: Deployment
      metadata:
        name: ess-openid
      spec:
        template:
          spec:
            containers:
              - env:
                - name: QUARKUS_LOG_MIN_LEVEL
                  value: TRACE
                - name: QUARKUS_LOG_LEVEL
                  value: TRACE
                name: ess-openid

Continue with the rest of the Applying Your Customizations procedure.
