Logging Action

edit

Use the logging action to log text to the standard Elasticsearch logs. See Logging Action Attributes for the supported attributes.

This action is primarily used during development and for debugging purposes.

Configuring Logging Actions

edit

You configure logging actions in the actions array. Action-specific attributes are specified using the logging keyword.

The following snippet shows a simple logging action definition:

"actions" : {
  "log" : { 
    "transform" : { ... }, 
    "logging" : {
      "text" : "executed at {{ctx.execution_time}}" 
    }
  }
}

	The id of the action.
	An optional transform to transform the payload before executing the `logging` action.
	The text to be logged.
