Traefik Logs

By default the Traefik log is written to stdout in text format.

To write the logs into a log file specify the filePath:

[traefikLog]
  filePath = "/path/to/traefik.log"

To write JSON format logs, specify json as the format:

[traefikLog]
  filePath = "/path/to/traefik.log"
  format   = "json"

Deprecated way (before 1.4):

!!! danger "DEPRECATED" traefikLogsFile is deprecated, use traefikLog instead.

# Traefik logs file
# If not defined, logs to stdout
#
# DEPRECATED - see [traefikLog] lower down
# In case both traefikLogsFile and traefikLog.filePath are specified, the latter will take precedence.
# Optional
#
traefikLogsFile = "log/traefik.log"

To customize the log level:

# Log level
#
# Optional
# Default: "ERROR"
#
# Accepted values, in order of severity: "DEBUG", "INFO", "WARN", "ERROR", "FATAL", "PANIC"
# Messages at and above the selected level will be logged.
#
logLevel = "ERROR"

Access Logs

Access logs are written when [accessLog] is defined. By default it will write to stdout and produce logs in the textual Common Log Format (CLF), extended with additional fields.

To enable access logs using the default settings just add the [accessLog] entry:

[accessLog]

To write the logs into a log file specify the filePath:

[accessLog]
filePath = "/path/to/access.log"

To write JSON format logs, specify json as the format:

[accessLog]
filePath = "/path/to/access.log"
format = "json"

To filter logs you can specify a set of filters which are logically "OR-connected". Thus, specifying multiple filters will keep more access logs than specifying only one:

[accessLog]
filePath = "/path/to/access.log"
format = "json"

  [accessLog.filters]

  # statusCodes keep access logs with status codes in the specified range
  #
  # Optional
  # Default: []
  #
  statusCodes = ["200", "300-302"]

  # retryAttempts keep access logs when at least one retry happened
  #
  # Optional
  # Default: false
  #
  retryAttempts = true

To customize logs format:

[accessLog]
filePath = "/path/to/access.log"
format = "json"

  [accessLog.filters]

  # statusCodes keep only access logs with status codes in the specified range
  #
  # Optional
  # Default: []
  #
  statusCodes = ["200", "300-302"]

  [accessLog.fields]

  # defaultMode
  #
  # Optional
  # Default: "keep"
  #
  # Accepted values "keep", "drop"
  #
  defaultMode = "keep"

  # Fields map which is used to override fields defaultMode
  [accessLog.fields.names]
    "ClientUsername" = "drop"
    # ...

  [accessLog.fields.headers]
    # defaultMode
    #
    # Optional
    # Default: "keep"
    #
    # Accepted values "keep", "drop", "redact"
    #
    defaultMode = "keep"
    # Fields map which is used to override headers defaultMode
    [accessLog.fields.headers.names]
      "User-Agent" = "redact"
      "Authorization" = "drop"
      "Content-Type" = "keep"
      # ...

Log Rotation

Traefik will close and reopen its log files, assuming they're configured, on receipt of a USR1 signal. This allows the logs to be rotated and processed by an external program, such as logrotate.

!!! note This does not work on Windows due to the lack of USR signals.
