Parameters

See plugin common configurations for configuration options available to all plugins.

  • endpoint_addr

    string


    required


    URI of the SkyWalking OAP server.

  • service_name

    string


    default: APISIX


    Service name for the SkyWalking reporter.

  • service_instance_name

    string


    default: APISIX Instance Name


    Service instance name for the SkyWalking reporter. Set to $hostname to get the local hostname.

  • timeout

    integer


    default: 3


    vaild vaule:

    greater than 0


    Time to keep the connection alive after sending a request.

  • log_format

    object


    Custom log format in key-value pairs in JSON format. Support built-in variables in values.

    You can also configure log format on a global scale using the plugin metadata, which configures the log format for all skywalking-logger plugin instances. If the log format configured on the individual plugin instance differs from the log format configured on plugin metadata, the log format configured on the individual plugin instance takes precedence. See the example for more details.

  • include_req_body

    boolean


    default: false


    If true, include the request body in the log. Note that if the request body is too big to be kept in the memory, it can not be logged due to NGINX's limitations.

  • include_req_body_expr

    array


    An array of one or more conditions in the form of APISIX expressions. Used when the include_req_body is true. Request body would only be logged when the expressions configured here evaluate to true.

  • include_resp_body

    boolean


    default: false


    If true, include the response body in the log.

  • include_resp_body_expr

    array


    An array of one or more conditions in the form of APISIX expressions. Used when the include_resp_body is true. Response body would only be logged when the expressions configured here evaluate to true.

  • name

    string


    default: skywalking logger


    Unique identifier of the plugin for the batch processor. If you use Prometheus to monitor APISIX metrics, the name is exported in apisix_batch_process_entries.

  • batch_max_size

    integer


    default: 1000


    vaild vaule:

    greater than 0


    The number of log entries allowed in one batch. Once reached, the batch will be sent to the logging service. Setting this parameter to 1 means immediate processing.

  • inactive_timeout

    integer


    default: 5


    vaild vaule:

    greater than 0


    The maximum time in seconds to wait for new logs before sending the batch to the logging service. The value should be smaller than buffer_duration.

  • buffer_duration

    integer


    default: 60


    vaild vaule:

    greater than 0


    The maximum time in seconds from the earliest entry allowed before sending the batch to the logging service.

  • retry_delay

    integer


    default: 1


    vaild vaule:

    greater or equal to 0


    The time interval in seconds to retry sending the batch to the logging service if the batch was not successfully sent.

  • max_retry_count

    integer


    default: 60


    vaild vaule:

    greater or equal to 0


    The maximum number of unsuccessful retries allowed before dropping the log entries.
