Log

Logs are record data generated during the running of an application system, such as user operation logs, API access logs, and system error logs. Logs are usually stored in text format on the host where the application system resides. A log corresponding to a system running record may contain one line of text (single-line log) or multiple lines of text (multi-line log).
Logs can be uploaded the CLS via LogListener or other methods such as APIs or SDKs.
Example of a single-line log:
59.x.x.x - - [06/Aug/2019:12:12:19 +0800] "GET /nginx-logo.png HTTP/1.1" 200 368 "http://119.x.x.x/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.142 Safari/537.36" "-"
Example of a multi-line log:
  java.net.SocketTimeoutException:Receive timed out
    at j.n.PlainDatagramSocketImpl.receive0(Native Method)[na:1.8.0_151]
    at j.n.AbstractPlainDatagramSocketImpl.receive(AbstractPlainDatagramSocketImpl.java:143)[^]

The main components of a log are as follows:
Component
Description
Example
__TIMESTAMP__
Log time, in the format of a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds
1640005601188
__FILENAME__
Log source file
/data/log/nginx/access.log
__SOURCE__
Log source IP
10.0.1.2
Log body
Log body content, in key:value format (key is the field name, and value is the field value.)
If the log extraction mode is full text in a single line or full text in multi lines (the entire raw log is reported without splitting), the entire log is stored in the __CONTENT__ field.
If the log extraction mode is any other mode (such as splitting with a separator), each part of the raw log corresponds to a key:value pair.
Full text in a single line or full text in multi lines:
10.20.20.10;[2018-07-16 13:12:57];GET /online/sample HTTP/1.1;200
Other modes:
IP: 10.20.20.10
request: GET /online/sample HTTP/1.1
status: 200
time: [2018-07-16 13:12:57]
Metadata
Simple description or categorization of logs. For example, the cluster or container of a TKE log is stored in the key:value format, where key starts with __TAG__.
__TAG__.clusterId:1skzv59c

Log group

A log group (LogGroup) is a collection of multiple logs. In the process of log upload, to increase data read/write efficiency, multiple logs can be packaged into one log group and then sent to CLS.
Logs in the same log group have the same basic information (__TIMESTAMP__, __FILENAME__, __SOURCE__, metadata, etc.).
