TYK based logging || Logstash Integration

Firstly
Not able to see the logs in linux system (ubuntu 18.04) inside the path /var/log or /var/log/upstart
is there any name for the log file ??
Secondly
We are using tyk gateway not the tyk pump ,dashboard etc
So is it necessary for logs that we need to install pump and dashboard.?

is there any name for the log file ??

I don’t know a lot about Linux but I tried it with 18.04 and you should find the dump in syslog. If you use the journalctl command you can also get the logs. Something like journalctl -u “tyk-gateway” should work

So is it necessary for logs that we need to install pump and dashboard.?

My guess here is you mean is it necessary to install pump and the dashboard for logs? The answer is no, it is not needed for the logs. However, you logs will not remain persistent. Pump helps you export your logs and any other important data to any backend.

Thanks for your reply
Need to integrate logstash with tyk
Done all the modification in tyk.conf file as per the tyk official docs but then also the logs are not seen in the logstash

Can you see the logs via journalctl? If you can then can you share any errors with connecting to logstash. Try enabling debug mode if you cannot see anything related to logstash in the logs.
