The following is an example on how to enable the http-logger for a specific route.
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"plugins": {
"http-logger": {
"uri": "http://127.0.0.1:80/postendpoint?param=1"
}
},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1
}
},
"uri": "/hello"
}'
success:
$ curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
hello, world
Name | Type | Requirement | Default | Valid | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
log_format | object | optional | {"host": "$host", "@timestamp": "$time_iso8601", "client_ip": "$remote_addr"} | Log format declared as JSON object. Only string is supported in the value part. If the value starts with $ , it means to get APISIX variables or Nginx variable. |
Note that the metadata configuration is applied in global scope, which means it will take effect on all Route or Service which use http-logger plugin.
APISIX Variables
Variable Name | Description | Usage Example |
---|---|---|
route_id | id of route |
$route_id |
route_name | name of route |
$route_name |
service_id | id of service |
$service_id |
service_name | name of service |
$service_name |
consumer_name | username of consumer |
$consumer_name |
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/plugin_metadata/http-logger -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"log_format": {
"host": "$host",
"@timestamp": "$time_iso8601",
"client_ip": "$remote_addr"
}
}'
It is expected to see some logs like that:
{"host":"localhost","@timestamp":"2020-09-23T19:05:05-04:00","client_ip":"127.0.0.1","route_id":"1"}
{"host":"localhost","@timestamp":"2020-09-23T19:05:05-04:00","client_ip":"127.0.0.1","route_id":"1"}
Remove the corresponding json configuration in the plugin configuration to disable the http-logger
.
APISIX plugins are hot-reloaded, therefore no need to restart APISIX.
