Chapter 15. Configuring Data Grid Server logging
Data Grid Server uses Apache Log4j 2 to provide configurable logging mechanisms that capture details about the environment and record cache operations for troubleshooting purposes and root cause analysis.
15.1. Data Grid Server log files
Data Grid writes server logs to the following files in the $RHDG_HOME/server/log
directory:
server.log
-
Messages in human readable format, including boot logs that relate to the server startup.
Data Grid creates this file when you start the server. server.log.json
-
Messages in JSON format that let you parse and analyze Data Grid logs.
Data Grid creates this file when you enable theJSON-FILE
appender.
15.1.1. Configuring Data Grid Server logs
Data Grid uses Apache Log4j technology to write server log messages. You can configure server logs in the log4j2.xml
file.
Procedure
-
Open
$RHDG_HOME/server/conf/log4j2.xml
with any text editor. - Change server logging as appropriate.
-
Save and close
log4j2.xml
.

15.1.2. Log levels
Log levels indicate the nature and severity of messages.
Log level | Description |
---|---|
| Fine-grained debug messages, capturing the flow of individual requests through the application. |
| Messages for general debugging, not related to an individual request. |
| Messages about the overall progress of applications, including lifecycle events. |
| Events that can lead to error or degrade performance. |
| Error conditions that might prevent operations or activities from being successful but do not prevent applications from running. |
| Events that could cause critical service failure and application shutdown. |
In addition to the levels of individual messages presented above, the configuration allows two more values: ALL
to include all messages, and OFF
to exclude all messages.
15.1.3. Data Grid logging categories
Data Grid provides categories for INFO
, WARN
, ERROR
, FATAL
level messages that organize logs by functional area.
org.infinispan.CLUSTER
- Messages specific to Data Grid clustering that include state transfer operations, rebalancing events, partitioning, and so on.
org.infinispan.CONFIG
- Messages specific to Data Grid configuration.
org.infinispan.CONTAINER
- Messages specific to the data container that include expiration and eviction operations, cache listener notifications, transactions, and so on.
org.infinispan.PERSISTENCE
- Messages specific to cache loaders and stores.
org.infinispan.SECURITY
- Messages specific to Data Grid security.
org.infinispan.SERVER
- Messages specific to Data Grid servers.
org.infinispan.XSITE
- Messages specific to cross-site replication operations.
15.1.4. Log appenders
Log appenders define how Data Grid Server records log messages.
- CONSOLE
-
Write log messages to the host standard out (
stdout
) or standard error (stderr
) stream.
Uses theorg.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.ConsoleAppender
class by default. - FILE
-
Write log messages to a file.
Uses theorg.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.RollingFileAppender
class by default. - JSON-FILE
-
Write log messages to a file in JSON format.
Uses theorg.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.RollingFileAppender
class by default.
15.1.5. Log pattern formatters
The CONSOLE
and FILE
appenders use a PatternLayout
to format the log messages according to a pattern.
An example is the default pattern in the FILE appender:%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p (%t) [%c{1}] %m%throwable%n
-
%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS}
adds the current time and date. -
%-5p
specifies the log level, aligned to the right. -
%t
adds the name of the current thread. -
%c{1}
adds the short name of the logging category. -
%m
adds the log message. -
%throwable
adds the exception stack trace. -
%n
adds a new line.
Patterns are fully described in the PatternLayout
documentation .
15.1.6. Enabling the JSON log handler
Data Grid Server provides a log handler to write messages in JSON format.
Prerequisites
-
Stop Data Grid Server if it is running.
You cannot dynamically enable log handlers.
Procedure
-
Open
$RHDG_HOME/server/conf/log4j2.xml
with any text editor. Uncomment the
JSON-FILE
appender and comment out theFILE
appender:<!--<AppenderRef ref="FILE"/>--> <AppenderRef ref="JSON-FILE"/>
- Optionally configure the JSON appender and JSON layout as required.
-
Save and close
log4j2.xml
.
When you start Data Grid, it writes each log message as a JSON map in the following file:$RHDG_HOME/server/log/server.log.json

15.2. Access logs
Access logs record all inbound client requests for Hot Rod and REST endpoints to files in the $RHDG_HOME/server/log
directory.
org.infinispan.HOTROD_ACCESS_LOG
-
Logging category that writes Hot Rod access messages to a
hotrod-access.log
file. org.infinispan.REST_ACCESS_LOG
-
Logging category that writes REST access messages to a
rest-access.log
file.
15.2.1. Enabling access logs
To record Hot Rod, REST and Memcached endpoint access messages, you need to enable the logging categories in log4j2.xml
.
Procedure
-
Open
$RHDG_HOME/server/conf/log4j2.xml
with any text editor. -
Change the level for the
org.infinispan.HOTROD_ACCESS_LOG
,org.infinispan.REST_ACCESS_LOG
andorg.infinispan.MEMCACHED_ACCESS_LOG
logging categories toTRACE
. -
Save and close
log4j2.xml
.
<Logger name="org.infinispan.HOTROD_ACCESS_LOG" additivity="false" level="TRACE"> <AppenderRef ref="HR-ACCESS-FILE"/> </Logger>
15.2.2. Access log properties
The default format for access logs is as follows:
%X{address} %X{user} [%d{dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss Z}] "%X{method} %m %X{protocol}" %X{status} %X{requestSize} %X{responseSize} %X{duration}%n
The preceding format creates log entries such as the following:
127.0.0.1 - [DD/MM/YYYY:HH:MM:SS +0000] "PUT /rest/v2/caches/default/key HTTP/1.1" 404 5 77 10
Logging properties use the %X{name}
notation and let you modify the format of access logs. The following are the default logging properties:
Property | Description |
---|---|
|
Either the |
| Principal name, if using authentication. |
|
The protocol-specific method used. |
|
Protocol used. |
|
An HTTP status code for the REST endpoint. |
| Size, in bytes, of the request. |
| Size, in bytes, of the response. |
| Number of milliseconds that the server took to handle the request. |
Use the header name prefixed with h:
to log headers that were included in requests; for example, %X{h:User-Agent}
.
15.3. Audit logs
Audit logs let you track changes to your Data Grid Server deployment so you know when changes occur and which users make them. Enable and configure audit logging to record server configuration events and administrative operations.
org.infinispan.AUDIT
-
Logging category that writes security audit messages to an
audit.log
file in the$RHDG_HOME/server/log
directory.
15.3.1. Enabling audit logging
To record security audit messages, you need to enable the logging category in log4j2.xml
.
Procedure
-
Open
$RHDG_HOME/server/conf/log4j2.xml
with any text editor. -
Change the level for the
org.infinispan.AUDIT
logging category toINFO
. -
Save and close
log4j2.xml
.
<!-- Set to INFO to enable audit logging --> <Logger name="org.infinispan.AUDIT" additivity="false" level="INFO"> <AppenderRef ref="AUDIT-FILE"/> </Logger>
15.3.2. Configuring audit logging appenders
Apache Log4j provides different appenders that you can use to send audit messages to a destination other than the default log file. For instance, if you want to send audit logs to a syslog daemon, JDBC database, or Apache Kafka server, you can configure an appender in log4j2.xml
.
Procedure
-
Open
$RHDG_HOME/server/conf/log4j2.xml
with any text editor. Comment or remove the default
AUDIT-FILE
rolling file appender.<!--RollingFile name="AUDIT-FILE" ... </RollingFile-->
Add the desired logging appender for audit messages.
For example, you could add a logging appender for a Kafka server as follows:
<Kafka name="AUDIT-KAFKA" topic="audit"> <PatternLayout pattern="%date %message"/> <Property name="bootstrap.servers">localhost:9092</Property> </Kafka>
-
Save and close
log4j2.xml
.

15.3.3. Using custom audit logging implementations
You can create custom implementations of the org.infinispan.security.AuditLogger
API if configuring Log4j appenders does not meet your needs.
Prerequisites
-
Implement
org.infinispan.security.AuditLogger
as required and package it in a JAR file.
Procedure
-
Add your JAR to the
server/lib
directory in your Data Grid Server installation. Specify the fully qualified class name of your custom audit logger as the value for the
audit-logger
attribute on theauthorization
element in your cache container security configuration.For example, the following configuration defines
my.package.CustomAuditLogger
as the class for logging audit messages:<infinispan> <cache-container> <security> <authorization audit-logger="my.package.CustomAuditLogger"/> </security> </cache-container> </infinispan>
