Connector logs

This document describes logs for connectors.

Note that self-managed deployments and self-managed connector logs are written to STDOUT.

Self-managed connectors have the following logging options:

• Use the service.log_level setting in your connector service configuration file to specify the log level for the service.

  • Enable elasticsearch.bulk.enable_operations_logging to log the result of sending documents to Elasticsearch from connectors, for auditing and debugging. This setting depends on the service.log_level and will be logged at DEBUG level .

• Use the elasticsearch.log_level setting to specify the log level for the Elasticsearch client used by the connector service.

You can view logs in Kibana.

You can filter by service.type:

• enterprise-search
• connectors
