Slow Logedit
Search Slow Logedit
Shard level slow search log allows to log slow search (query and fetch phases) into a dedicated log file.
Thresholds can be set for both the query phase of the execution, and fetch phase, here is a sample:
index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.warn: 10s
index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.info: 5s
index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.debug: 2s
index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.trace: 500ms
index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.warn: 1s
index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.info: 800ms
index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.debug: 500ms
index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.trace: 200ms
index.search.slowlog.level: info
All of the above settings are dynamic
By default, none are enabled (set to -1). Levels (warn, info, debug, trace) allow to control under which logging level the log will be logged. Not all are required to be configured (for example, onlywarn threshold can be set). The benefit of several levels is the ability to quickly "grep" for specific thresholds breached.
The logging is done on the shard level scope, meaning the execution of a search request within a specific shard. It does not encompass the whole search request, which can be broadcast to several shards in order to execute. Some of the benefits of shard level logging is the association of the actual execution on the specific machine, compared with request level.
The logging file is configured by default using the following configuration (found in log4j2.properties):
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.type = RollingFile
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.name = index_search_slowlog_rolling
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.fileName = ${sys:es.logs}_index_search_slowlog.log
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.layout.pattern = [%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c] %.10000m%n
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.filePattern = ${sys:es.logs}_index_search_slowlog-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.policies.type = Policies
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.policies.time.type = TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.policies.time.interval = 1
appender.index_search_slowlog_rolling.policies.time.modulate = true
logger.index_search_slowlog_rolling.name = index.search.slowlog
logger.index_search_slowlog_rolling.level = trace
logger.index_search_slowlog_rolling.appenderRef.index_search_slowlog_rolling.ref = index_search_slowlog_rolling
logger.index_search_slowlog_rolling.additivity = false
Index Slow logedit
The indexing slow log, similar in functionality to the search slow log. The log file name ends with _index_indexing_slowlog.log. Log and the thresholds are configured in the same way as the search slowlog. Index slowlog sample:
index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.warn: 10s
index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.info: 5s
index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.debug: 2s
index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.trace: 500ms
index.indexing.slowlog.level: info
index.indexing.slowlog.source: 1000
All of the above settings are dynamic
By default Elasticsearch will log the first 1000 characters of the _source in the slowlog. You can change that with index.indexing.slowlog.source. Setting it to false or 0 will skip logging the source entirely an setting it to true will log the entire source regardless of size. The original _source is reformatted by default to make sure that it fits on a single log line. If preserving the original document format is important, you can turn off reformatting by settingindex.indexing.slowlog.reformat to false, which will cause the source to be logged "as is" and can potentially span multiple log lines.
The index slow log file is configured by default in the log4j2.properties file:
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.type = RollingFile
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.name = index_indexing_slowlog_rolling
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.fileName = ${sys:es.logs}_index_indexing_slowlog.log
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.layout.pattern = [%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c] %marker%.10000m%n
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.filePattern = ${sys:es.logs}_index_indexing_slowlog-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.policies.type = Policies
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.policies.time.type = TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.policies.time.interval = 1
appender.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.policies.time.modulate = true
logger.index_indexing_slowlog.name = index.indexing.slowlog.index
logger.index_indexing_slowlog.level = trace
logger.index_indexing_slowlog.appenderRef.index_indexing_slowlog_rolling.ref = index_indexing_slowlog_rolling
logger.index_indexing_slowlog.additivity = false
