| # Log completed requests |
| |
| Vault can be configured to log completed requests using the `log_requests_level` configuration parameter. |
| |
| ## Activating logging completed requests |
| |
| By default, logging completed requests is disabled. To activate request logging, set the `log_requests_level` |
| configuration option in the Vault server configuration to the desired logging level. The acceptable logging levels are |
| `error`, `warn`, `info`, `debug`, `trace`, and `off`, which is the default. |
| |
| Completed requests will be logged at the configured level, if Vault's log level includes this level of logs. For |
| example, if `log_level` is set to `debug`, but `log_requests_level` is set to `trace`, completed requests will |
| not be logged. |
| |
| If the Vault server is already running, you can still configure the parameter in the Vault server configuration, |
| and then send a `SIGHUP` signal to the Vault process. |
| |
| ```hcl |
| log_requests_level = "debug" |
| log_level = "debug" |
| |
| listener "tcp" { |
| # ... |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Deactivating logging completed requests |
| |
| To deactivate logging completed requests, simply remove the `log_requests_level` configuration parameter |
| from the Vault server configuration, or set it to `off`, and send a `SIGHUP` signal to the Vault process. |
| |
| ```hcl |
| log_requests_level = "off" |
| log_level = "debug" |
| |
| listener "tcp" { |
| # ... |
| } |
| ``` |
