  149. <h1 id="structured-logging"><a class="header" href="#structured-logging">Structured Logging</a></h1>
  150. <p>A structured logging system can be useful when your logs are destined for a
  151. machine to parse and process. By maintaining its machine-readable characteristics,
  152. it enables more efficient searching and aggregations when consumed by software
  153. such as the &quot;ELK stack&quot;.</p>
  154. <p>Synapse's structured logging system is configured via the file that Synapse's
  155. <code>log_config</code> config option points to. The file should include a formatter which
  156. uses the <code>synapse.logging.TerseJsonFormatter</code> class included with Synapse and a
  157. handler which uses the above formatter.</p>
  158. <p>There is also a <code>synapse.logging.JsonFormatter</code> option which does not include
  159. a timestamp in the resulting JSON. This is useful if the log ingester adds its
  160. own timestamp.</p>
  161. <p>A structured logging configuration looks similar to the following:</p>
  162. <pre><code class="language-yaml">version: 1
  163. formatters:
  164. structured:
  165. class: synapse.logging.TerseJsonFormatter
  166. handlers:
  167. file:
  168. class: logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler
  169. formatter: structured
  170. filename: /path/to/my/logs/homeserver.log
  171. when: midnight
  172. backupCount: 3 # Does not include the current log file.
  173. encoding: utf8
  174. loggers:
  175. synapse:
  176. level: INFO
  177. handlers: [remote]
  178. synapse.storage.SQL:
  179. level: WARNING
  180. </code></pre>
  181. <p>The above logging config will set Synapse as 'INFO' logging level by default,
  182. with the SQL layer at 'WARNING', and will log to a file, stored as JSON.</p>
  183. <p>It is also possible to configure Synapse to log to a remote endpoint by using the
  184. <code>synapse.logging.RemoteHandler</code> class included with Synapse. It takes the
  185. following arguments:</p>
  186. <ul>
  187. <li><code>host</code>: Hostname or IP address of the log aggregator.</li>
  188. <li><code>port</code>: Numerical port to contact on the host.</li>
  189. <li><code>maximum_buffer</code>: (Optional, defaults to 1000) The maximum buffer size to allow.</li>
  190. </ul>
  191. <p>A remote structured logging configuration looks similar to the following:</p>
  192. <pre><code class="language-yaml">version: 1
  193. formatters:
  194. structured:
  195. class: synapse.logging.TerseJsonFormatter
  196. handlers:
  197. remote:
  198. class: synapse.logging.RemoteHandler
  199. formatter: structured
  200. host: 10.1.2.3
  201. port: 9999
  202. loggers:
  203. synapse:
  204. level: INFO
  205. handlers: [remote]
  206. synapse.storage.SQL:
  207. level: WARNING
  208. </code></pre>
  209. <p>The above logging config will set Synapse as 'INFO' logging level by default,
  210. with the SQL layer at 'WARNING', and will log JSON formatted messages to a
  211. remote endpoint at 10.1.2.3:9999.</p>
