dcos-go/dcos-log - HTTP server for journal events

REST API

Endpoints:

• /range/ get a range of logs matching the request query.
• /range/framework/{framework_id}/executor/{executor_id}/container/{container_id} get a range of application logs.
• /stream/ tail logs keeping the connection opened, implements Server Sent Events.
• /stream/framework/{framework_id}/executor/{executor_id}/container/{container_id} tail application logs.
• /fields/<field> returns all possible unique values for a specific <field>.

Request Header Accept

• text/plain, text/html, */* request logs in text format, ending with \n.
• application/json request logs in JSON format.
• text/event-stream request logs in Server-Sent-Events format.

Request Header Last-Event-ID

If Last-Event-ID is set dcos-log will use it as a cursor position. Last-Event-ID header works with /stream/ endpoints only.

NOTE: Accept header text/event-stream cannot be used with /fields/<field> endpoint.

Response Header X-Journal-Skip-Prev

X-Journal-Skip-Prev indicates how many entries we actually skipped backwards from the current position.

Example:

request: `?cursor=<cursor string>&skip_prev=1000`
response includes the headers: `X-Journal-Skip-Prev: 100`, `X-Journal-Skip-Next: 0`

This means that there are only 100 entries before the given cursor position and we reached the top of the journal.

Response Header X-Journal-Skip-Next

Header X-Journal-Skip-Next indicates how many entries we actually skipped forward from the current position.

see X-Journal-Skip-Prev example above.

GET parameters:

• ?filter=FIELD:value add match.
• ?limit=N limit number of entries.
• ?skip_next=N skip forward number of entries from the current cursor position.
• ?skip_prev=N skip backwards number of entries from the current cursor position.
• ?cursor=CURSOR set cursor position. (Special characters must be escaped).
• ?read_reverse=true read the journal in opposite direction (bottom to top).

where

• FIELD, value and CURSOR are strings.
• N is uint64.

NOTE:

• It is possbile to move to the tail of the journal. If the ?cursor parameter is not used then we consider the cursor is pointing to a head of the journal. ?skip_prev=1 can be used to move to the tail of the journal (very last entry). If you need to read last 10 entries you should use ?skip_prev=10.
• Parameter ?limit cannot be used with /stream/ endpoint.

Response codes:

• 200 OK.
• 204 Content not found, returned if no entries matching requesting filters.
• 400 Bad request, returned if request is incorrect.
• 500 Internal server error.

Examples:

GET parameters

• /stream/?skip_prev=10 get the last 10 entires from the journal and follow new events.
• /range/?skip_next=100&limit=10 skip 100 entries from the beggining of the journal and return 10 following entries.
• /stream/?cursor=s%3Dcea8150abb0543deaab113ed2f39b014%3Bi%3D1%3Bb%3D2c357020b6e54863a5ac9dee71d5872c%3Bm%3D33ae8a1%3Bt%3D53e52ec99a798%3Bx%3Db3fe26128f768a49 get all logs after the specific cursor and follow new events.
• /range/?cursor=s%3Dcea8150abb0543deaab113ed2f39b014%3Bi%3D1%3Bb%3D2c357020b6e54863a5ac9dee71d5872c%3Bm%3D33ae8a1%3Bt%3D53e52ec99a798%3Bx%3Db3fe26128f768a49&skip_prev=2&limit=2 get 2 entries. The first one is the one before the cursor position and the second one is the entry with given cursor position.
