Helix Core Server Administrator Guide: Fundamentals (2019.1)

Enabling structured logging

To enable structured logging, set the serverlog.file.N configurable to the name of the file.

Valid names for structured log files and the information logged are shown in the following table. You can use a file path in conjunction with the file name.

Warning

You must use one of the file names specified in the table. If you use an arbitrary name, no data will be logged to the file you specify.

Filename	Description
`all.csv`	All loggable events (commands, errors, audit, triggers, and more)
`audit.csv`	Audit events (audit, purge)
`auth.csv`	The results of `p4 login` attempts. If the login failed, the reason for this is included in the log. Additional information provided by the authentication method is also included.
`commands.csv`	Command events (command start, compute, and end)
`errors.csv`	Error events (errors-failed, errors-fatal)
`events.csv`	Server events (startup, shutdown, checkpoint, journal rotation, etc.)
`integrity.csv`	Major events that occur during replica integrity checking.
ldapsync.csv	p4 ldapsync events, such as when: a user is added, updated, or removed a user is added or removed from a group
`route.csv`	Log the full network route of authenticated client connections. Errors related to `net.mimcheck` are also logged against the related hop.
`track.csv`	Command tracking (track-usage, track-rpc, track-db)
`triggers.csv`	Trigger events.
`user.csv`	User events; one record every time a user runs `p4 logappend`.

Files do not have to be set in consecutive order:

$ p4 configure set serverlog.file.1=audit.csv
$ p4 configure set serverlog.file.2=auth.csv
$ p4 configure set serverlog.file.4=track.csv
$ p4 configure set serverlog.file.3=triggers.csv

Note

Enabling all structured logging files can consume considerable diskspace. See Structured logfile rotation for information on how to manage the size of the log file and the number of log rotations.

The value you specify for N may not exceed 500.
