Log levels

The logs generated by Citrix ingress controller are available as part of kubernetes logs. You can specify Citrix ingress controller to log in the following log levels:

• CRITICAL
• ERROR
• WARNING
• INFO
• DEBUG

By default, Citrix ingress controller is set to log in INFO log level. If you want to specify Citrix ingress controller to log in a particular log level then you need to specify the log level in the Citrix ingress controller deployment YAML file before deploying the Citrix ingress controller. You can specify the log level in the spec section of the YAML file as follows:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: citrixingresscontroller
  labels:
    app: citrixingresscontroller
spec:
      serviceAccountName: cpx
      containers:
      - name: citrixingresscontroller
        image: "quay.io/citrix/citrix-k8s-ingress-controller:1.28.2"
        env:
        # Set kube api-server URL
        - name: "kubernetes_url"
          value: "https://10.x.x.x:6443"
        # Set Citrix ADC Management IP
        - name: "NS_IP"
          value: "10.x.x.x"
        # Set log level
        - name: "LOGLEVEL"
          value: "DEBUG"
        - name: "EULA"
          value: "yes"
        args:
        - --feature-node-watch
          true
        imagePullPolicy: Always

Modify the log levels

To modify the log level configured on the Citrix ingress controller instance, you need to delete the instance and update the log level value in the following section and redeploy the Citrix ingress controller instance:

# Set log level
- name: "LOGLEVEL"
  value: "XXXX"

Once you update the log level, save the YAML file and deploy it using the following command:

kubectl create -f citrix-k8s-ingress-controller.yaml
