Browsing Logs in Astra

The log messages in Astra provide insight into the service status and activities during the receiving and processing of data streams. Log messages are categorized into several types:

• errors - indicate operational issues that can disrupt the stream input
• warnings - point out issues with the disrupted stream or those that might not affect streams at all
• information - includes limited number of messages, such as version information on process start, normal exit, process restart, activation input on the stream, and a few others
• debug - detailed information about receiving and processing activities. Turned off by default and can be enabled in the log settings or using command line argument --debug
• access log - this kind off messages records requests to the built-in Astra HTTP server. The access logs are separate from other logs and stored in a specific file. For more detals, please refer to the Access Log
