Logging section

The logging configuration section (logging:) of the configuration file allows you to modify the log level and where the logs will be shipped in the system .

Since this section is quite simple, we will list the default configuration at the same time as we describe the different values.

Logging section configuration example

...
logging:
  # Interval at which the container heartbeat is written
  export_interval: 5

  # Location of the container heartbeat
  heartbeat_file: /tmp/heartbeat

  # Should logs use a JSON format
  # (mainly used to parse logs into kibana, otherwise set to false to make them readable)
  log_as_json: true

  # Location on disk where the logs are stored if log_to_file enabled
  log_directory: /var/log/assemblyline/

  # Minimum log level
  # (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR)
  log_level: INFO

  # Should logs be shown in the console?
  # You should have that to true if running inside containers
  log_to_console: true

  # Should you write logs to files?
  # Set this to false when running inside a container
  log_to_file: false

  # Should you send logs to a syslog server?
  log_to_syslog: false

  # Host of the syslog server
  syslog_host: localhost

  # Port of the syslog server
  syslog_port: 514
