ratelimit as a systemd service; where are the logs ?

[nskalis]

Hi,

given a systemd service file:

• envoy-ratelimit.service

[Unit]
Description=envoy-ratelimit
Requires=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
After=syslog.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/envoy-ratelimit
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/ratelimit $OPTIONS
ExecStop=/bin/kill -s TERM $MAINPID
Restart=on-failure
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=envoy-ratelimit

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and its arguments

• /etc/sysconfig/envoy-ratelimit

OPTIONS=""
RUNTIME_SUBDIRECTORY=ratelimit
LOG_LEVEL=info
PORT=8082
GRPC_PORT=8081
REDIS_SOCKET_TYPE=tcp
REDIS_URL=127.0.0.1:6389
USE_STATSD=false

when I run the ratelimit service via a command I can see the logs:

# RUNTIME_SUBDIRECTORY=ratelimit PORT=8082 REDIS_SOCKET_TYPE=tcp REDIS_URL=172.31.141.233:6389 LOG_LEVEL=WARN USE_STATSD=false /usr/local/sbin/ratelimit 
WARN[0000] statsd is not in use                         
WARN[0000] connecting to redis on tcp 172.31.141.233:6389 with pool size 10 
WARN[0000] Listening for HTTP on ':8082'                
WARN[0000] Listening for debug on ':6070'               
WARN[0000] Listening for gRPC on ':8081'   

when I run the above as a systemd service, can somebody advise where the logs appear ?

^C

/var/log/messages is also empty of logging from envoy-ratelimit

[nskalis]

the issue seems to be with logrus described here sirupsen/logrus#66

logrus seems to be a development-only logger, and not meant for production
