+# Logging Conventions
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+etcd uses the [capnslog][capnslog] library for logging application output categorized into *levels*. A log message's level is determined according to these conventions:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Error: Data has been lost, a request has failed for a bad reason, or a required resource has been lost
|
|
|
+ * Examples:
|
|
|
+ * A failure to allocate disk space for WAL
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Warning: (Hopefully) Temporary conditions that may cause errors, but may work fine. A replica disappearing (that may reconnect) is a warning.
|
|
|
+ * Examples:
|
|
|
+ * Failure to send raft message to a remote peer
|
|
|
+ * Failure to receive heartbeat message within the configured election timeout
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Notice: Normal, but important (uncommon) log information.
|
|
|
+ * Examples:
|
|
|
+ * Add a new node into the cluster
|
|
|
+ * Add a new user into auth subsystem
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Info: Normal, working log information, everything is fine, but helpful notices for auditing or common operations.
|
|
|
+ * Examples:
|
|
|
+ * Startup configuration
|
|
|
+ * Start to do snapshot
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Debug: Everything is still fine, but even common operations may be logged, and less helpful but more quantity of notices.
|
|
|
+ * Examples:
|
|
|
+ * Send a normal message to a remote peer
|
|
|
+ * Write a log entry to disk
