Reading What's Happening

|
|
|
By default, logs are written to stdout, in text format.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Example
|
|
|
|
??? example "Writing Logs in a File"
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[log]
|
|
filePath = "/path/to/traefik.log"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
??? example "Writing Logs in a File, in JSON"
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[log]
|
|
filePath = "/path/to/log-file.log"
|
|
format = "json"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Options
|
|
|
|
### General
|
|
|
|
Traefik logs concern everything that happens to Traefik itself (startup, configuration, events, shutdown, and so on).
|
|
|
|
#### filePath
|
|
|
|
By default, the logs are written to the standard output.
|
|
You can configure a file path instead using the `filePath` option.
|
|
|
|
#### format
|
|
|
|
By default, the logs use a text format (`common`), but you can also ask for the `json` format in the `format` option.
|
|
|
|
#### log level
|
|
|
|
By default, the `level` is set to `error`, but you can choose amongst `debug`, `panic`, `fatal`, `error`, `warn`, and `info`.
|
|
|
|
## Log Rotation
|
|
|
|
Traefik will close and reopen its log files, assuming they're configured, on receipt of a USR1 signal.
|
|
This allows the logs to be rotated and processed by an external program, such as `logrotate`.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
This does not work on Windows due to the lack of USR signals.
