Log Management with AMETHYST

De MappingDoc
Autres langues :
English • ‎français

Introduction

By default, the log files generated by Mapping are in a proprietary format so they can be read by the MAPPING user interface. The log files can be converted to text using the map_log_txt command but in this case you won't be able to change the formatting. With Amethyst, you can now generate log files with customizable formatting for use with various third-party solutions. Enabling Amethyst and disabling the old log system also improves system performance.

Limitations

Amethyst is still in its early stage of development. In release 9.1.0 you can use Amethyst for Workflows only (map_809 binary). Future enhancements will be made to use Amethyst with other binaries (mapcpysplf, map_lpr and more).

Supported output

The log files can be read with:

  • Text file
  • The console who called the process
  • HTTP request

Requirements

  • Onyx Server v9.1.0 or higher

Configuration

To enable Amethyst log management, some changes need to be made

mapping.conf

  1. Go to LOGS
  2. Add the following parameters
  • LOG_TYPE
    • Default : Use the old log system
    • Amethyst : Use the new log system (Amethyst)
    • All : Use both log system (old and Amethyst)
  • PATH_AMETHYST_LOG
    • Path to Amethyst configuration file

config.yaml

Amethyst needs a configuration file called config.yaml by default and saved in the Mapping conf or settings folder. Its name and path are specified in the file mapping.conf under LOGS with the parameter PATH_AMETHYST_LOG The configuration file is in yaml format and includes the configurations of the Loggers for the new log system.

Config.yaml file

Below is the description of the configuration file:

config

  • config
  • server
  • port: log serveur port
  • threads: number of threads used by the server (max. 250)

loggers

  • loggers
  • source: name of the log source retrieved by the programs (`workflow` is the name of the logger for map_809)
    • Workflow
  • level: minimum log level
    • debug
    • information
    • warning
    • error
  • channels: list of channels for each type
  • type: channel type

FileChannel

  • path: log file path (when Type = FileChannel)
  • Log file path
  • rotation: new log file creation frequency (one file a day, a month, a week...)
  • never: no log rotation
  • [day,][hh]:mm: the file is rotated on specified day/time day - day is specified as long or short day name (Monday|Mon, Tuesday|Tue, ... ); day can be omitted, in which case log is rotated every day hh - valid hour range is 00-23; hour can be omitted, in which case log is rotated every hour mm - valid minute range is 00-59; minute must be specified
  • daily: the file is rotated daily
  • weekly: the file is rotated every seven days
  • monthly: the file is rotated every 30 days
  • <n> minutes: the file is rotated every <n> minutes, where <n> is an integer greater than zero.
  • <n> hours: the file is rotated every <n> hours, where <n> is an integer greater than zero.

  • <n> weeks: the file is rotated every <n> weeks, where <n> is an integer greater than zero.
  • <n> months: the file is rotated every <n> months, where <n> is an integer greater than zero and a month has 30 days.
  • <n>: the file is rotated when its size exceeds <n> bytes.
  • <n> K: the file is rotated when its size exceeds <n> Kilobytes.
  • <n> M: the file is rotated when its size exceeds <n> Megabytes.
  • compress: specifies whether the old log files must be compressed in a compressed folder
    • false: the files are not compressed
    • true: the files are compressed

  • purgeAge: deletes old log files automatically based on their create date
    • <n> seconds: deletes files older than <n> seconds.
    • <n> minutes: deletes files older than <n> minutes.
    • <n> hours: deletes files older than <n> hours.
