NAME

Beekeeper::Service::LogTail::Worker - Buffer log entries

VERSION

Version 0.07

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

By default all workers use a Beekeeper::Logger logger which logs errors and warnings both to files and to a topic log/{level}/{service} on the message bus.

This worker keeps an in-memory buffer of every log entry sent to these topics in every broker of a logical message bus. Then this buffer can be queried using the tail method provided by Beekeeper::Service::LogTail or using the command line client bkpr-log.

Buffered entries consume 1.5 kiB for messages of 100 bytes, increasing to 2 KiB for messages of 500 bytes. Holding the last million log entries in memory will consume around 2 GiB.

LogTail workers are CPU bound and can collect up to 20000 log entries per second. Applications exceeding that traffic will need another strategy to consolidate log entries from brokers.

LogTail workers are not created automatically. In order to add a LogTail worker to a pool it must be declared into config file pool.config.json:

[
    {
        "pool_id" : "myapp",
        "bus_id"  : "backend",
        "workers" : {
            "Beekeeper::Service::LogTail::Worker" : { "buffer_entries": 100000 },
             ...
        },
    },
]

METHODS

See Beekeeper::Service::LogTail for a description of the methods exposed by this worker class.
