Not able to enable logging
swpecht opened this issue · comments
Logging does not seem to be enabled by default. And "log_dir" seems to not impact anything.
Un-commenting
LOGS=/var/log/mesos
in default.erb seems to fix the issue.
Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
Thanks!
It depends on the package you use. Mesosphere package allows just logging to syslog. Mine version allows logging (it was an experiment):
syslog, if you enableLOGS_DIRyou'll get many log files per each log level (moreover logs will be available in webui)/var/log/mesos/master.logand/var/log/mesos/slave.logwith logrotate and no logs in webui
the difference is in mesos-init-wrapper and init/upstart scripts:

For me is much more comfortable to search logs with cat/zcat/grep/less unix tools and have them in fewer files and don't mix the logs with syslog. I won't force this approach to anyone, it's just depends what do you prefer. If you forward the logs with Logstash (or some other tool) it's quite easy to filter Mesos messages.
Mesos logging options might change with each version and there's no official Debian package yet, although it's quite an old issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-74
That clears it up. Thanks!
