In addition to +system log files, GitLab Enterprise Edition comes with Audit Events. +Find more about them [in Audit Events +documentation](http://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/audit_events.html) + +System log files are typically plain text in a standard log file format. +This guide talks about how to read and use these system log files. + +### production.log + +This file lives in `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production.log` for +omnibus package or in `/home/git/gitlab/log/production.log` for +installations from source. + +It contains information about all performed requests. You can see the +URL and type of request, IP address and what exactly parts of code were +involved to service this particular request. Also you can see all SQL +request that have been performed and how much time it took. This task is +more useful for GitLab contributors and developers. Use part of this log +file when you are going to report bug. For example: + +``` +Started GET "/gitlabhq/yaml_db/tree/master" for 168.111.56.1 at 2015-02-12 19:34:53 +0200 +Processing by Projects::TreeController#show as HTML + Parameters: {"project_id"=>"gitlabhq/yaml_db", "id"=>"master"} + + ...

Also we can see that request was processed by +`Projects::TreeController`. + +### application.log + +This file lives in `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/application.log` for +omnibus package or in `/home/git/gitlab/log/application.log` for +installations from source. + +It helps you discover events happening in your instance such as user creation, +project removing and so on. For example: + +``` +October 06, 2014 11:56: User "Administrator" (admin@example.com) was created +October 06, 2014 11:56: Documentcloud created a new project "Documentcloud / Underscore" +October 06, 2014 11:56: Gitlab Org created a new project "Gitlab Org / Gitlab Ce" +October 07, 2014 11:25: User "Claudie Hodkiewicz" (nasir_stehr@olson.co.uk) was removed +October 07, 2014 11:25: Project "project133" was removed +``` + +### githost.log + +This file lives in `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/githost.log` for +omnibus package or in `/home/git/gitlab/log/githost.log` for +installations from source. + +GitLab has to interact with Git repositories but in some rare cases +something can go wrong and in this case you will know what exactly +happened. This log file contains all failed requests from GitLab to Git +repositories. In the majority of cases this file will be useful for developers +only. For example: + +``` +December 03, 2014 13:20 -> ERROR -> Command failed [1]: /usr/bin/git --git-dir=/Users/vsizov/gitlab-development-kit/gitlab/tmp/tests/gitlab-satellites/group184/gitlabhq/.git --work-tree=/Users/vsizov/gitlab-development-kit/gitlab/tmp/tests/gitlab-satellites/group184/gitlabhq merge --no-ff -mMerge branch 'feature_conflict' into 'feature' source/feature_conflict + +error: failed to push some refs to '/Users/vsizov/gitlab-development-kit/repositories/gitlabhq/gitlab_git.git' +``` + +### sidekiq.log + +This file lives in `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sidekiq.log` for +omnibus package or in `/home/git/gitlab/log/sidekiq.log` for +installations from source. + +GitLab uses background jobs for processing tasks which can take a long +time. All information about processing these jobs are written down to +this file. For example: + +``` +2014-06-10T07:55:20Z 2037 TID-tm504 ERROR: /opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/htdocs/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/redis-3.0.7/lib/redis/client.rb:228:in `read' +2014-06-10T18:18:26Z 14299 TID-55uqo INFO: Booting Sidekiq 3.0.0 with redis options {:url=>"redis://localhost:6379/0", :namespace=>"sidekiq"} +``` + +### gitlab-shell.log + +This file lives in `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-shell/gitlab-shell.log` for +omnibus package or in `/home/git/gitlab-shell/gitlab-shell.log` for +installations from source. + +GitLab shell is used by Gitlab for executing Git commands and provide +SSH access to Git repositories. For example: + +``` +I, [2015-02-13T06:17:00.671315 #9291] INFO -- : Adding project root/example.git at </var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/root/dcdcdcdcd.git>. +I, [2015-02-13T06:17:00.679433 #9291] INFO -- : Moving existing hooks directory and symlinking global hooks directory for /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/root/example.git. +``` + +### unicorn\_stderr.log + +This file lives in `/var/log/gitlab/unicorn/unicorn_stderr.log` for +omnibus package or in `/home/git/gitlab/log/unicorn_stderr.log` for +installations from source. + +Unicorn is a high-performance forking Web server which is used for +serving the GitLab application. You can look at this log if, for +example, your application does not respond. This log contains all +information about the state of unicorn processes at any given time. + +``` +I, [2015-02-13T06:14:46.680381 #9047] INFO -- : Refreshing Gem list +I, [2015-02-13T06:14:56.931002 #9047] INFO -- : listening on addr=127.0.0.1:8080 fd=12 +I, [2015-02-13T06:14:56.931381 #9047] INFO -- : listening on addr=/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sockets/gitlab.socket fd=13 +I, [2015-02-13T06:14:56.936638 #9047] INFO -- : master process ready +I, [2015-02-13T06:14:56.946504 #9092] INFO -- : worker=0 spawned pid=9092 +I, [2015-02-13T06:14:56.946943 #9092] INFO -- : worker=0 ready +I, [2015-02-13T06:14:56.947892 #9094] INFO -- : worker=1 spawned pid=9094 +I, [2015-02-13T06:14:56.948181 #9094] INFO -- : worker=1 ready +W, [2015-02-13T07:16:01.312916 #9094] WARN -- : #<Unicorn::HttpServer:0x0000000208f618>: worker (pid: 9094) exceeds memory limit (320626688 bytes > 247066940 bytes) +W, [2015-02-13T07:16:01.313000 #9094] WARN -- : Unicorn::WorkerKiller send SIGQUIT (pid: 9094) alive: 3621 sec (trial 1) +I, [2015-02-13T07:16:01.530733 #9047] INFO -- : reaped #<Process::Status: pid 9094 exit 0> worker=1 +I, [2015-02-13T07:16:01.534501 #13379] INFO -- : worker=1 spawned pid=13379 +I, [2015-02-13T07:16:01.534848 #13379] INFO -- : worker=1 ready +``` |
