collect http request info to elasticsearch, query or display request info by another application(kibana).

1.3 Plugin functionality#

Apache ShenYu The gateway receives requests from the client, forwards them to the server, and returns the server results to the client. The gateway can record the details of each request，
The list includes: request time, request parameters, request path, response result, response status code, time consumption, upstream IP, exception information waiting. Shenyu gateway can record access logs through logging-elasticsearch-plugin and send access logs to elasticsearch database.

1.4 Plugin code#

Core Module shenyu-plugin-logging-elasticsearch
Core Class org.apache.shenyu.plugin.logging.elasticsearch.LoggingElasticSearchPlugin
Core Class org.apache.shenyu.plugin.logging.elasticsearch.client.ElasticSearchLogCollectClient

1.5 Added Since Which shenyu version#

2. How to use plugin

2.1 Plugin-use procedure chart#

2.2 Import pom#

Add the dependency of logging-elasticsearch to the Shenyu-bootstrap-module 's pom.xml file.

 <!--shenyu logging-elasticsearch plugin start--><dependency>    <groupId>org.apache.shenyu</groupId>    <artifactId>shenyu-spring-boot-starter-plugin-logging-elasticsearch</artifactId>    <version>${project.version}</version></dependency><!--shenyu logging-elasticsearch plugin end-->

2.3 Enable plugin#

In shenyu-admin --> Basic Configuration --> Plugin Management --> loggingElasticSearch, configure the ElasticSearch parameter and set it to on.

2.4 Config plugin#

2.4.1 Open the plugin and configure elasticsearch, configure it as follows.#

The individual configuration items are described as follows:

config-item	type	description	remarks
host	String	host name	must
port	String	port num	must
sampleRate	String	Sampling rate, range 0~1, 0: off, 0.01: acquisition 1%, 1: acquisition 100%	Optional, default 1, all collection
compressAlg	String	Compression algorithm, no compression by default, currently supports LZ4 compression	Optional, no compression by default
maxResponseBody	Ingeter	Maximum response size, above the threshold no response will be collected	Optional, default 512KB
maxRequestBody	Ingeter	Maximum request body size, above the threshold no request body will be collected	Optional, default 512KB

Except for host, port, all others are optional, in most cases only these 3 items need to be configured.

2.4.2 Configuring Selectors and Rulers#

For detailed configuration of selectors and rules, please refer to: Selector and rule management。 In addition sometimes a large gateway cluster corresponds to multiple applications (business), different applications (business) corresponds to different topics, related to isolation,
then you can configure different topics (optional) and sampling rate (optional) by selector, the meaning of the configuration items as shown in the table above.
The operation is shown below:

2.5 Logging information#

Field Name	Meaning	Description
clientIp	Client IP
