What You’ll Learn
How to use OpenTelemetry and Logging to monitor Foyle.
Configure Honeycomb
To configure Foyle to use Honeycomb as a backend you just need to set the telemetry.honeycomb.apiKeyFile
configuration option to the path of a file containing your Honeycomb API key.
foyle config set telemetry.honeycomb.apiKeyFile = /path/to/apikey
Google Cloud Logging
If you are running Foyle locally but want to stream logs to Cloud Logging you can edit the logging stanza in your config as follows:
logging:
sinks:
- json: true
path: gcplogs:///projects/${PROJECT}/logs/foyle
Remember to substitute in your actual project for ${PROJECT}.
In the Google Cloud Console you can find the logs using the query
logName = "projects/${PROJECT}/logs/foyle"
While Foyle logs to JSON files, Google Cloud Logging is convenient for querying and viewing your logs.
Logging to Standard Error
If you want to log to standard error you can set the logging stanza in your config as follows:
logging:
sinks:
- json: false
path: stderr
