Disable log for grpc.health.v1.Health

Open Source

Hello !

We are flooded by those logs:

INFO        finished unary call with code OK        {"server": "grpc", "grpc.start_time": "2024-06-12T14:17:34Z", "system": "grpc", "span.kind": "server", "grpc.service": "grpc.health.v1.Health", "grpc.method": "Check", "peer.address": ....

Do you know if there is a way to disable them ? (besides putting log level to ERROR)

Many thanks for your help !

Hi @lpaquet ! You can set the GRPC log level independent of the application log level (logs that we output from Flipt itself).

For example log.grpc_level can be set to ERROR while log.level can still be set to INFO.

Does that help?

Thx, gonna try but I thought error was the default as stated here:

Indeed, I’ve missed something obviously, even with

log:
  grpc_level: error

We’re still having those logs.

Putting

log:  
  level: error
  grpc_level: error

it’s ok. Too bad to have to increase log level just for the healthcheck don’t you think ?

Yes I think you are right, it is a bit silly to log the healthcheck requests

It seems we can skip the healthcheck from being logged using a Decider function when setting up our GRPC log

I will implement this and have it in the next release.

I don’t believe anyone would depend on these healthcheck logs, so I don’t think we need to make it configurable

Totally agree, many thx Mark !
