# Runner Custom Logging

By default all logs will be written to the directory ${RUNNER_LAUNCH_DIR}/runner/logs. The runner.log is the main log. The operations.log mainly contains information about the receipt and completion of operations.

# Alternative Logging Modes

# Write logs to output console

If you want to log all data to the console you can do this by setting either of the following:

  • Environment variable RUNNER_LOG_OUTPUT=console

  • System property -Drunner.log.output=console

# Write logs in json format

If you want to use a logging system that handles json formatted logs you can turn this one by doing:

  • Environment variable RUNNER_LOG_OUTPUT=json

  • System property -Drunner.log.output=json

The logs will be written to the ${RUNNER_LAUNCH_DIR}/runner/logs but will be named runner-json.log and operations-json.log

# Custom Logging

The Runner uses the Log4j2 system to log all operations.

You can pass your own Log4j2 configuration to the Runner by launching with the System property -Dlog4j2.configurationFile=your_log4j2_config_file.xml

See Apache's site more information about configuration of Log4j2. (opens new window)
