The Console JSON HTTP Operation Log Publisher is primarily intended to be used for server instances that are run in no-detach mode (that is, instances that are started with the --nodetach argument). When the logger is used in a server that is not running in no-detach mode, it may have reduced performance and functionality.

logging-error-behavior

Description
Specifies the behavior that the server should exhibit if an error occurs during logging processing.
Default Value
standard-error
Allowed Values
standard-error - Write a message to standard error in the event of a logging failure.

Property Group
Log File Management
Description
Indicates whether the JSON objects should use a multi-line representation (with each object field and array value on its own line) that may be easier for administrators to read, but each message will be larger (because of additional spaces and end-of-line markers), and it may be more difficult to consume and parse through some text-oriented tools.

none - Indicates that no information about request headers should be logged.

header-names - Indicates that only the names of request headers should be logged, but the values should be suppressed.

suppressed-request-header-name

Property Group
Log Message Elements To Include
Description
Specifies the case-insensitive names of request headers that should be omitted from log messages (e.g., for the purpose of brevity or security). This will only be used if the log-request-headers property has a value of true. For security reasons, the "Authorization" and "Cookie" headers will be suppressed by default. The "Content-Length" header will be suppressed because it will be included in the contentLength element, and the "Content-Type" header will be suppressed because it will be included in the contentType log element. If all request headers should be logged, then a nonsense value that will not appear as a valid request header should be provided.
Default Value
Authorization
Content-Length
Content-Type
Cookie
Allowed Values
A string
Multi-Valued
Yes
Required
No
Admin Action Required

suppressed-response-header-name

Property Group
Log Message Elements To Include
Description
Specifies the case-insensitive names of response headers that should be omitted from log messages (e.g., for the purpose of brevity or security). This will only be used if the log-response-headers property has a value of true. For security reasons, the "Set-Cookie" header will be suppressed by default. The "Location" header will also be suppressed because its value will normally be included in the redirectURI log element, the "Content-Length" header will be suppressed because it will be included in the contentLength log element, and the "Content-Type" will be suppressed because it will be included in the contentType element. If all response headers should be logged, then a nonsense value that will not appear as a valid response header should be provided.
