Server log connector and action

A server log connector writes an entry to the Kibana server log.

You can create a server log connectors in Kibana or by using the create connector API. If you are running Kibana on-prem, you can also create preconfigured server log connectors.

You can create connectors in Stack Management > Connectors or as needed when you’re creating a rule. For example:

Server log connectors do not have any configuration properties other than a name.

If you are running Kibana on-prem, you can define connectors by adding xpack.actions.preconfigured settings to your kibana.yml file. For example:

xpack.actions.preconfigured:
  my-server-log:
    name: preconfigured-server-log-connector-type
    actionTypeId: .server-log

For more information, go to Preconfigured connectors.

You can test connectors with the run connector API or as you’re creating or editing the connector in Kibana. For example:

Server log connector actions contain a message and a log level, which defaults to info. Valid log level values are trace, debug, info, warn, error, and fatal.
