=================
Multi-Vim logging
=================

The purpose of logging is to generate machine-readable, indexable output logs and support to trace
requests through sub-component, it need to ship logs to logging enhancement project a centralized
logging analysis system capturing diagnostic information.



Problem Description
===================

So far the logging of multi-vim is not able to support customer configuration, handler context specific logging like
MDC[MDC_Document]_, also it dose't propagate transaction-ID in REST headers which is critical to tracing request.
There are 4 python containers in oom project need to configure filebeat container for shipping logs.

.. [MDC_Document] https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/ONAP+Application+Logging+Guidelines+v1.1#ONAPApplicationLoggingGuidelinesv1.1-MDCs

In addition the current logging is very difficult to understand behavior and performance.


Proposed Change
===============

The proposed change will include three parts.

Filebeat container
------------------

Logging architecture[Log_Architecture]_ use Filebeat collects logs from multi-vim containers and ships them to the
centralized logging stack. To enable this feature it need to add Filebeat container in multi-vim pod that was
deployed by OOM, as well Yaml file will be used to configure Filebeat.

.. [Log_Architecture] https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Logging+Architecture

Tracing ID
----------

ONAP logging uses a global unique "RequestID"[RequestID_Document]_ in logging to track the processing of each request
across all the components, multi-vim will receive this id from http header by vary "X-TransactionID", then record it
in logs.
Meanwhile single component should generate a InvocationID that records the relationship between RequestID
and InvocationID for proper tracing. So Mulit-vim will set unique InvocationID for each single request,also output it
in logs.

python AOP logging library
--------------------------

Currently logging enhancement project just has java AOP logging library, For multi-vim which based on python need
a python version. The basic feature of AOP logging library could provide customer configuration include retention
policy、output location、text output format、message level and so on, support MDC context specific logging, able to
change configuration at runtime, and make logging quite fast.
