Logging Configuration

Overview​

The API server uses logrus for logging, providing a flexible way to manage log levels based on the current environment or specific needs. You can control the logging level by setting the --loglevel flag when running the application.

Supported Log Levels​

The following log levels are supported:

  • debug – Detailed information, typically for diagnosing issues.
  • info – General operational information about the application.
  • warn – Potentially harmful situations, but the application is still running.
  • error – Errors that prevent certain functionality but don't cause the system to stop.
  • fatal – Critical errors that cause the application to terminate.
  • panic – Logs panic messages before terminating.

Command-Line Flag​

The log level is specified using the --loglevel flag in the command line. By default, the log level is set to info if not provided.

Syntax:

--loglevel=<log_level>

Example Log Levels​

  • Development: Use debug for detailed logs during development and testing.
  • Production: Use warn or error in production to reduce log noise and focus on critical issues.
