Tyk gateway logging to file

Support Installation and Deployment

I am using tyk debian package installation. I see the output logged to console. I am trying to redirect tyk gateway log to a file for production purpose. Is there a configuration available to specify the log file path?

Or logging to syslog is the only option? If so how to make syslog config for tyk.

Hi Sai,

You are able to see a more detailed output in your Gateway log /var/log.
Details on how to enable syslog can be found on our documentation here.

Thanks,

Thanks for the very fast response. Appreciate you teams effort.

I have few question on the logging.

  1. Can I log to specific file instead of syslog ?
  2. Haven’t tried syslog logging yet. Does every log has a tag to denote its from tyk?
  3. Does tyk-pump produce any log? How to enable its log to file or syslog?

Tested the syslog for tyk gateway. Working fine. It does have a tag.
Some info on point 1 and point 2 above could be useful.

Hi Sai,

Please check lonelycode’s answer on a similar question asked on GitHub.

Yes, you can use CSV and set the directory.
This Pump sample could be useful.

Thanks,

The init scripts provide with gateway and pump deb package has the log redirection to file code. I am good with that.
