Plugins logs missing with logstash

[Adrien DEFOSSÉ]

Hi,

For a better view of our Continuous Integration, we configured our gocd-server logback-include.xml to send logs to our logstash server. Globally, it work well but it seems our plugins (docker elastic swarm, LDAP Authentication, ...) doesn't send their logs. I think it's said in gocd documentation. Is there a way to send them anyway? A configuration to change?

Thank you

I believe it's possible for plugins that properly use GoCD's logging support (i.e they direct their logs to the GoCD plugin subsystem, rather than using their own logging configuration) by defining configuration in your logback-include.xml like the below.

<logger name="plugin.cd.go.authentication.passwordfile" level="INFO">
  <appender-ref ref="MyLogstashAppender}"/>
</logger>

From what I can tell, you'd need to declare one <logger> override per plugin unfortunately, with name="plugin.${pluginId}". The ${pluginId} will be the same as you see in the suffixes for the existing plugin file logs you should have sitting alongside go-server.log.

If this works for you, a suggested edit/PR to https://docs.gocd.org/current/advanced_usage/logging.html to better document it would be much appreciated.
