Logging Configuration

monetr uses logrus for all of its logging at this time. At the moment it supports a text and JSON formatter. The text formatter will have colors enabled by default, unless an environment variable CI is provided with a non-empty value.

config.yaml

logging:
  level: "<panic|fatal|error|warn|info|debug|trace>"
  format: "<text|json>"
  stackDriver:
    enabled: <true|false>

The default log level for monetr is info. Lower log levels can create a lot of noise, debug will log each HTTP request that the server handles, trace will log every SQL query that the application performs (except as part of background job processing).

If you are running your application on Google Cloud, it is recommended to enable StackDriver logging, as it will adjust the way some important fields are formatted (when the format is set to json) to match StackDriver’s expected patterns. More information on the StackDriver format is available here: Structured Logging.
