Logging

Warning

It is preferable to use a logging service that reads directly from stdout and stderr. Any other mechanism (pipe to file or using the --log_path flag) will likely create a direct dependency on the filesystem. A filesystem dependency may introduce unexpected high latency from time to time.

--log_path

--log_max_size

Log files will be rotated when this size is reached.

--log_max_files

Retain at most this number of log files.

--log_rotate_on_open
