When you use Logtail to collect logs, errors may occur. For example, regular expressions
may fail to be parsed, invalid file paths may exist, and traffic may exceed the processing
capabilities of shards. Log Service provides the automatic diagnostic tool to help
you diagnose the errors that occur when Logtail collects logs.
Procedure
- Log on to the Log Service console.
- In the Projects section, click the project that you want to view.
- On the Logstores tab, click the
icon next to the Logstore that you want to manage, and then click Diagnose.
- View log collection errors.
- Query the collection errors that occurred on a server.
In the Log Collection Error panel, enter the IP address of the server to view all collection errors that occurred
on the server.
After you fix all existing errors, you can check whether the errors persist. Historical
errors are displayed before they expire. You can ignore these errors and check only
the errors that are reported after you fix the historical errors. Logtail reports
errors every 10 minutes.
Note To view the complete logs that are dropped due to parsing failures, log on to your
server or container and check Logtail operational logs. The Logtail operational logs
are stored in one of the following paths:
- Host: /usr/local/ilogtail/ilogtail. LOG
- Container: /usr/local/ilogtail/ilogtail. LOG
