Access Logging
Overview
This tutorial shows how to do access logging.
HTTPLogger is used for access logging.
It works as middleware.
Run minimally
Minimal configuration will be
apiVersion: core/v1
kind: Entrypoint
spec:
runners:
- apiVersion: core/v1
kind: HTTPServer
---
apiVersion: core/v1
kind: HTTPServer
spec:
addr: ":8080"
virtualHosts:
- middleware:
- apiVersion: core/v1
kind: HTTPLogger
handlers:
- handler:
apiVersion: core/v1
kind: ReverseProxyHandler
---
apiVersion: core/v1
kind: ReverseProxyHandler
spec:
loadBalancers:
- pathMatcher:
match: "/"
matchType: Prefix
upstreams:
- url: http://httpbin.org
---
apiVersion: core/v1
kind: HTTPLogger
spec: {}
This minimal configuration uses a reverse proxy which proxies requests ot http://httpbin.org.
HTTPLogger does not require any configuration in its spec.
Run the AILERON Gateway with the configuration.
aileron -f /path/to/config.yaml
Then send some HTTP requests.
$ curl http://localhost:8080/get
{
"args": {},
"headers": {
"Accept": "*/*",
"Host": "httpbin.org",
"User-Agent": "curl/8.10.1",
"X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-67d6cc7b-12eb83c1736f9bce0d8e6842",
"X-Forwarded-Host": "localhost:8080"
},
"origin": "::1, 106.73.5.65",
"url": "http://localhost:8080/get"
}
Access logs will be shown on terminal.
The request log and the response log are output as different lines.
They are associated with the log id which means request.id == response.id.
