Logging

Notice

This only applies to ansible based environments

Notice

OTH services only logs locally on each node. It is the customers responsibility to ensure sufficient backup of log files - see backup section in this guide for further information.

Each services are logging activity to their respective containers and are mapped to the local filesystem on the node a given service is running on.

These logs can provide useful insight when troubleshooting an incident on the system.

Each service logs to /var/log/<service>/. Inside the directory, there are different types of logs. Most services logs to STDOUT inside the running container. These output are logged to /var/log/<service>/stdout/current.

A few services like developerportal, client-citizen, client-clinician, uis and qnrui runs a simple web server and only logs access and error logs.

Audit logging for the entire OTH eco-system is stored in the database by the audit service and can only be accessed through the clinician portals admin menu, by a user with administrator rights.

All logs are rotated and compressed daily, with a retention of 7 days.
