HTTP Log

By Kong Inc.

Looking for the plugin's configuration parameters? You can find them in the HTTP Log configuration reference doc.

The HTTP Log plugin lets you send request and response logs to an HTTP server.

It also supports stream data (TCP, TLS, and UDP).

Queueing

The HTTP Log plugin uses internal queues to decouple the production of log entries from their transmission to the upstream log server. In contrast to other plugins that use queues, it shares one queue between all plugin instances that use the same log server parameter. The equivalence of the log server is determined by the parameters http_endpoint, method, content_type, timeout, and keepalive. All plugin instances that have the same values for these parameters share one queue.

Kong process errors

This logging plugin logs HTTP request and response data, and also supports stream data (TCP, TLS, and UDP).

The Kong process error file is the Nginx error file. You can find it at the following path:

{prefix}/logs/error.log

Configure the prefix in kong.conf.
