Application Logs
API Gateway collects and stores logs from different sources such as API Gateway server logs, API Gateway UI logs, Internal Data Store logs, dashboard logs and platform logs. Each type of logged data comes from different components. API Gateway provides an easy way of configuring log settings to collate the logs from different sources at a single place in a common format. You also have an option to download these logs as an archive. This provides an easy access to logs collected from different sources when you have to look into the logs to troubleshoot any issues, such as error or performance problems.
You can use the log aggregation functionality to configure log aggregation such that the aggregated logs from different sources can be stored at a single location in a common format. API Gateway provides a single user interface, in the API Gateway dashboard under Analytics > Application logs, where you can search and view the aggregated logs stored in the Internal Data Store. You can filter the logs as required and search for a particular log.
Note:
The log aggregation is done across all the configured cluster nodes. The log level configuration is propagated across all the nodes in a cluster.
Different components of API Gateway from which the logs are collected are:
