# Log system **(FREE SELF)**
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
GitLab has an advanced log system where everything is logged, so you
can analyze your instance using various system log files. In addition to
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
system log files, GitLab Enterprise Edition provides [Audit Events](audit_events.md).
System log files are typically plain text in a standard log file format.
This guide talks about how to read and use these system log files.
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30

including adjusting log retention, log forwarding,
switching logs from JSON to plain text logging, and more.

## Log Levels
Each log message has an assigned log level that indicates its importance and verbosity.
Each logger has an assigned minimum log level.
A logger emits a log message only if its log level is equal to or above the minimum log level.
The following log levels are supported:
| Level | Name |
|:------|:----------|
| 0 | `DEBUG` |
| 1 | `INFO` |
| 2 | `WARN` |
| 3 | `ERROR` |
| 4 | `FATAL` |
| 5 | `UNKNOWN` |
GitLab loggers emit all log messages because they are set to `DEBUG` by default.
### Override default log level
You can override the minimum log level for GitLab loggers using the `GITLAB_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable.
Valid values are either a value of `0` to `5`, or the name of the log level.
Example:
```shell
GITLAB_LOG_LEVEL=info
```
For some services, other log levels are in place that are not affected by this setting.
Some of these services have their own environment variables to override the log level. For example:
| Service | Log level | Environment variable |
|:---------------------|:----------|:---------------------|
| GitLab API | `INFO` | |
| GitLab Cleanup | `INFO` | `DEBUG` |
| GitLab Doctor | `INFO` | `VERBOSE` |
| GitLab Export | `INFO` | `EXPORT_DEBUG` |
| GitLab Geo | `INFO` | |
| GitLab Import | `INFO` | `IMPORT_DEBUG` |
2022-07-23 23:45:48 +05:30
| GitLab QA Runtime | `INFO` | `QA_LOG_LEVEL` |
2022-03-02 08:16:31 +05:30
| Google APIs | `INFO` | |
| Rack Timeout | `ERROR` | |
| Sidekiq (server) | `INFO` | |
| Snowplow Tracker | `FATAL` | |
| gRPC Client (Gitaly) | `WARN` | `GRPC_LOG_LEVEL` |
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
## Log Rotation
The logs for a given service may be managed and rotated by:
- `logrotate`
- `svlogd` (`runit`'s service logging daemon)
- `logrotate` and `svlogd`
- Or not at all
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
The following table includes information about what's responsible for managing and rotating logs for
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
the included services. Logs
[managed by `svlogd`](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/logs.html#runit-logs)
are written to a file called `current`. The `logrotate` service built into GitLab
[manages all logs](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/logs.html#logrotate)
except those captured by `runit`.
2022-03-02 08:16:31 +05:30

## `production_json.log`
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production_json.log`
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/production_json.log`
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
It contains a structured log for Rails controller requests received from
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
GitLab, thanks to [Lograge](https://github.com/roidrage/lograge/).
Requests from the API are logged to a separate file in `api_json.log`.
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
Each line contains JSON that can be ingested by services like Elasticsearch and Splunk.
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
Line breaks were added to examples for legibility:

- `worker_id`: The worker's logical ID (does not change when workers restart)
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
User clone and fetch activity using HTTP transport appears in the log as `action: git_upload_pack`.
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
In addition, the log contains the originating IP address,
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
(`remote_ip`), the user's ID (`user_id`), and username (`username`).
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30

Some endpoints (such as `/search`) may make requests to Elasticsearch if using
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
[Advanced Search](../user/search/advanced_search.md). These
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
additionally log `elasticsearch_calls` and `elasticsearch_call_duration_s`,
which correspond to:
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
- `elasticsearch_calls`: Total number of calls to Elasticsearch
- `elasticsearch_duration_s`: Total time taken by Elasticsearch calls
- `elasticsearch_timed_out_count`: Total number of calls to Elasticsearch that
2021-03-11 19:13:27 +05:30
timed out and therefore returned partial results
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
ActionCable connection and subscription events are also logged to this file and they follow the
previous format. The `method`, `path`, and `format` fields are not applicable, and are always empty.
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
The ActionCable connection or channel class is used as the `controller`.
```json

Starting with GitLab 12.5, if an error occurs, an
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
`exception` field is included with `class`, `message`, and
`backtrace`. Previous versions included an `error` field instead of
`exception.class` and `exception.message`. For example:
```json

## `production.log`
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production.log`
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/production.log`
It contains information about all performed requests. You can see the
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
URL and type of request, IP address, and what parts of code were
involved to service this particular request. Also, you can see all SQL
requests performed, and how much time each took. This task is
more useful for GitLab contributors and developers. Use part of this log
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
file when you're reporting bugs. For example:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
```plaintext

2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
This entry shows an internal endpoint accessed to check whether an
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
associated SSH key can download the project in question by using a `git fetch` or
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
`git clone`. In this example, we see:
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
- `duration`: Total time in milliseconds to retrieve the request
- `queue_duration`: Total time in milliseconds the request was queued inside GitLab Workhorse
- `method`: The HTTP method used to make the request
- `path`: The relative path of the query
- `params`: Key-value pairs passed in a query string or HTTP body (sensitive parameters, such as passwords and tokens, are filtered out)
- `ua`: The User-Agent of the requester

`git_json.log` and stored in JSON format.
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
GitLab has to interact with Git repositories, but in some rare cases
2021-01-29 00:20:46 +05:30
something can go wrong. If this happens, you need to know exactly what
happened. This log file contains all failed requests from GitLab to Git
2021-01-29 00:20:46 +05:30
repositories. In the majority of cases this file is useful for developers
only. For example:
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```json
{
"severity":"ERROR",
"time":"2019-07-19T22:16:12.528Z",

In Omnibus GitLab `12.10` or earlier, the Sidekiq log is at `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sidekiq.log`.
2021-03-11 19:13:27 +05:30
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
For Omnibus GitLab installations, some Sidekiq logs are in `/var/log/gitlab/sidekiq/current`
and as follows.
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
### `sidekiq.log`
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/sidekiq/current`
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/sidekiq.log`
GitLab uses background jobs for processing tasks which can take a long
time. All information about processing these jobs are written down to
this file. For example:
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
```plaintext
2014-06-10T07:55:20Z 2037 TID-tm504 ERROR: /opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/htdocs/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/redis-3.0.7/lib/redis/client.rb:228:in `read'

```
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
Instead of the previous format, you can opt to generate JSON logs for
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
Sidekiq. For example:
```json

2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
```
For Omnibus GitLab installations, add the configuration option:
```ruby
sidekiq['log_format'] = 'json'
```
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
For installations from source, edit the `gitlab.yml` and set the Sidekiq
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
`log_format` configuration option:
```yaml

## Backup log
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/63832) in GitLab 14.1.
For Omnibus installations, the backup log is located at `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/backup_json.log`.
This log is populated when a [GitLab backup is created](../raketasks/backup_restore.md). You can use this log to understand how the backup process performed.

## Performance bar stats
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/48149) in GitLab 13.7.
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/performance_bar_json.log`
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/performance_bar_json.log`
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
Performance bar statistics (currently only duration of SQL queries) are recorded
in that file. For example:
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
```json
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
{"severity":"INFO","time":"2020-12-04T09:29:44.592Z","correlation_id":"33680b1490ccd35981b03639c406a697","filename":"app/models/ci/pipeline.rb","method_path":"app/models/ci/pipeline.rb:each_with_object","request_id":"rYHomD0VJS4","duration_ms":26.889,"count":2,"query_type": "active-record"}
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
```
These statistics are logged on .com only, disabled on self-deployments.

## Gathering logs
When [troubleshooting](troubleshooting/index.md) issues that aren't localized to one of the
previously listed components, it's helpful to simultaneously gather multiple logs and statistics
from a GitLab instance.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
NOTE:
GitLab Support often asks for one of these, and maintains the required tools.

### Briefly tail the main logs
2021-01-03 14:25:43 +05:30
If the bug or error is readily reproducible, save the main GitLab logs
2021-03-11 19:13:27 +05:30
[to a file](troubleshooting/linux_cheat_sheet.md#files-and-directories) while reproducing the
2021-01-29 00:20:46 +05:30
problem a few times:
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
```shell
sudo gitlab-ctl tail | tee /tmp/<case-ID-and-keywords>.log
```
2021-03-11 19:13:27 +05:30
Conclude the log gathering with <kbd>Control</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>.

### GitLabSOS
If performance degradations or cascading errors occur that can't readily be attributed to one
of the previously listed GitLab components, [GitLabSOS](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/toolbox/gitlabsos/)
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
can provide a broader perspective of the GitLab instance. For more details and instructions
2021-01-29 00:20:46 +05:30
to run it, read [the GitLabSOS documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/toolbox/gitlabsos/#gitlabsos).
