Logging

Logging provides the ability to collect data about incoming requests, system performance, system events, and gateway operations.

Akana supports the following types of observability data collection mechanisms:

• Access logs – Captures a record of each request and response processed by the Akana container, including details such as client IP address, request path, status code, and response time. See Access Logs.
• Trace or container logs – Provides step-by-step debugging information about internal processing, including policy execution, routing decisions, and backend interactions. See Container Logs. See Container Logs.
• Audit message logs – Provides the ability to capture complete or part of the request, response, or fault messages.
• Container and usage metrics – Records aggregated container performance and usage statistics such as request counts, latency, error rates, and backend response times.
• Alerts and audit trails – Logs platform lifecycle and operational events, including API deployments, policy changes, alerts, and system errors.
