Logs

Each YDB component writes messages to logs at different levels. They can be used to detect severe issues or identify the root causes of issues.

Logging setup

You can configure logging for the various components of the YDB monitoring system.

There are currently two options for running YDB logging.

Manually

YDB provides standard mechanisms for collecting logs and metrics.
Logging is done to standard stdout and stderr streams and can be redirected using popular solutions. We recommend using a combination of Fluentd and Elastic Stack.

Using systemd

Default logs are written to journald and can be retrieved via

journalctl -u ydbd
