Logger Configuration

Loggers record the state of every monitor after each interval.

Loggers are defined in the main configuration file, which by default is :file:`monitor.ini`. The section name is the name of your logger, which you should then add to the loggers configuration value.

Contents

Common options

These options are common to all logger types.

.. confval:: type

    :type: string
    :required: true

    the type of the logger; one of those in the list below.


.. confval:: depend

    :type: comma-separated list of string
    :required: false
    :default: none

    a list of monitors this logger depends on. If any of them fail, no attempt will be made to log.


.. confval:: groups

    :type: comma-separated list of string
    :required: false
    :default: ``default``

    list of monitor groups this logger should record. Use the special value ``_all`` to match all groups. See the :ref:`group<monitor-group>` setting for monitors.


.. confval:: tz

    :type: string
    :required: false
    :default: ``UTC``

    the timezone to convert date/times to


.. confval:: dateformat

    :type: string
    :required: false
    :default: ``timestamp``

    the date format to write for log lines. (Note that the timezone is controlled by the :ref:`tz<logger-tz>` configuration value.) Accepted values are:

    * ``timestamp`` (UNIX timestamp)
    * ``iso8601`` (``YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS``)


.. confval:: heartbeat

    :type: bool
    :required: false
    :default: ``false``

    if set, the logger only logs for monitors which executed on an iteration. Intended to be combined with the :ref:`gap<gap>` property of a Monitor.

The type of the logger is the first word in its heading.
