Netty does not provide errorLog just accesLog
paulbors opened this issue · comments
As a system administrator, I would like to see errorLogs in Netty web server similar to those of Apache HTTPD when the client socket is closed and we receive no accessLog.
Motivation
Netty web server does not log web server errors for requests that do not complete (ie: connection terminated is not captured in accessLog which should really be following Apache HTTPD errorLog).
Desired solution
A new ChannelDuplexHandler is added similar to BaseAccessLogHandler and its counterparts but for logging the web server access errors only.
Considered alternatives
One could increase the logs to trace to follow the channel termination exception log events, but that is too verbose for a production environment.
Additional context
Implement a similar errorLogs as those of Apache HTTPD:

@paulbors Are you interested in providing a PR? Which Reactor Netty version should enable this feature (1.1.x or 1.2.x)?
