You will learn:
- Structure of Hakutest log
- How to view Hakutest log
Overview
Hakutest logs events such as HTTP requests, errors that occur, etc. in JSON-like format. You can view the Hakutest log for troubleshooting and debugging purposes.
Log file
Log is stored in hakutest.log file. Its location depends on the operating system you are using:
Linux
The log file is in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/hakutest.
This path defaults to $HOME/.cache/hakutest if $XDG_CACHE_HOME is not set as defined in the XDG Base Directory Specification.
Windows
The log file is in one of the following paths:
%AppData%/cache/hakutest%LocalAppData%/cache/hakutest
Log format
Each line (entry) of the log file is a JSON object. It contains the following information:
| Field | Description | Note |
|---|---|---|
level | Level of the log entry | One of debug, info, warn, error, fatal, or panic |
time | UNIX timestamp of the log entry | – |
message | Any additional information logged by Hakutest | – |
error | Additional information about the occurred error | – |
method | HTTP method of the incoming request | Only present in HTTP log entries |
path | HTTP path of the incoming request | Only present in HTTP log entries |
status | HTTP status of Hakutest response | Only present in HTTP log entries |
latency | Latency of HTTP request (ms) | Only present in HTTP log entries |
IMPORTANT
While log entries are valid JSON object, the entire log file itself is not. That means that Hakutest log should be parsed line by line.
Debug
By default Hakutest won't log debug information. You can configure Hakutest to include these messages in log.
