Is there any way of controlling or disabling the logging of perfino agent? Perfino agent stores log file inside docker container which it is run on, under /opt/namename/.perfino/log/<name_provided_in_VM_parameter>.log
which is a problem in my use case. Container runs tomcat which stores application. Log doesn't seem to store anything useful or important as after I deleted it I've seen no issues inside perfino UI. I haven't seen anything about logging of agent in perfino documentation.
The strangest thing about this issue is I noticed it on one application (Let's call it APP_1) , but on another one (Let's call it APP_2), using similar image with tomcat, it does not occur. Strangely changing JDK and tomcat version in APP_2 leads to generating troublesome log. I've tried using JDK 8 and tomcat 8.5 in APP_1 (since this configuration is used in APP_2 and it does not genereate log), but it does not change a thing.
I've found a config file under /opt/namename/.perfino/config/g=<nameOfApplication>.cfg
, but I've noticed no information about logging (It's not very readable, I assume it is not to be changed manually).
So after this a bit long introduction, my question is: Is there any way of controlling the logging of perfino agent? Maybe through logback or tomcat config since I see no way of configuration using perfino UI or setup.
Part of log file:
inst> com.perfino.agent.e.a.e.<init>(ejt:170)
inst> com.perfino.agent.e.a.e.<init>(ejt:153)
inst> com.perfino.agent.e.a.a(ejt:223)
inst> com.perfino.agent.e.i.transform(ejt:83)
inst> java.instrument/java.lang.instrument.ClassFileTransformer.transform(ClassFileTransformer.java:246)
inst> java.instrument/sun.instrument.TransformerManager.transform(TransformerManager.java:188)
inst> java.instrument/sun.instrument.InstrumentationImpl.transform(InstrumentationImpl.java:563)
inst> java.management/sun.management.Util.newObjectName(Util.java:52)
You can disable logging by appending ,logEnabled=false
to the -javaagent
VM parameter.
A different log file can be specified by appending ,logFile=<path to log file>
.
