Traefik logs informs about everything that happens within Traefik (startup, configuration, events, shutdown, and so on).

Access Logs

Access logs are a key part of observability in Traefik.

They are providing valuable insights about incoming traffic, and allow to monitor it. The access logs record detailed information about each request received by Traefik, including the source IP address, requested URL, response status code, and more.

Metrics

Traefik offers a metrics feature that provides valuable insights about the performance and usage. These metrics include the number of requests received, the requests duration, and more.

On top of supporting metrics in the OpenTelemetry format, Traefik supports the following vendor specific metrics systems: Prometheus, Datadog, InfluxDB 2.X, and StatsD.

Tracing

The Traefik tracing system allows developers to gain deep visibility into the flow of requests through their infrastructure.
