Smeltr logs

Gives the worker's own log records at or above a chosen level. It reads locally and needs no credentials.

Example

Gives every log record at info or above.

{
  "id": "worker-logs",
  "type": "logs",
  "minLevel": "info"
}

The smeltr logs form on the Sources page: id worker-logs, min level info. — The same source in the Sources page's add dialog, as it is added.

Settings

It also takes the settings every source takes.

minLevel string default info

The lowest severity it gives. It gives only what the worker's log level collects.

error: Gives errors.
warn: Gives warnings and errors.
info: Gives info, warnings and errors.
debug: Gives everything but trace.
trace: Gives everything.

Fields it gives

Field	Type	Holds
`__source.name`	`str`	The name of the source that read the record.
`__source.type`	`str`	The kind of source that read it, its `type`, such as `kafka`, `s3List`, `httpApi` or `hecReceiver`.
`__source.topic`	`str`	The Kafka topic, or event hub, the record came from. A metrics record carries `__smeltr_metrics` and a logs record `__smeltr_logs`.
`__source.bytes`	`bytes`	The record's payload as the source read it, before any decoding. The source decodes `_raw` from it. A `bytes` destination writes it unless the destination names another field. Text functions refuse it; `decode(__source.bytes, encoding)` reads it as text.

How it works

The source reads only what the process collects. To collect debug records, also set the worker's startup log level to debug and restart it. See Change log verbosity.
