Features Implemented

1. Historical Log Persistence

  • MongoDB Storage: Logs stored with TTL index (30 days default)
  • Snapshot Grouping: Logs grouped by snapshotId (UUID v4)
  • Capture Reasons: monitor_down, monitor_up, manual, scheduled, error_threshold
  • Automatic Saving: Triggered on monitor status changes

2. Severity Detection

Supports 8+ log formats with confidence scoring:

  • JSON Logs: Winston, Bunyan, Pino (100% confidence)
  • Syslog: Standard RFC 5424 format (95% confidence)
  • Log4j: Java logging format (90% confidence)
  • Docker: Container-specific formats (85% confidence)
  • Nginx: Access/error logs (80% confidence)
  • Keyword Matching: Fallback detection (70% confidence)

Severity Levels

  • TRACE (0) - Most verbose
  • DEBUG (1) - Debug information
  • INFO (2) - Informational messages
  • WARN (3) - Warning conditions
  • ERROR (4) - Error conditions
  • FATAL (5) - Critical failures
  • UNKNOWN (99) - Could not determine

3. Advanced Filtering

  • Severity Filtering: Single severity level or minimum threshold
  • Date Range: ISO 8601 date strings with validation
  • Full-Text Search: MongoDB text index on message + rawLog
  • Pagination: Configurable limit (1-10,000 logs)

4. Source Selection

  • Live Only: Direct from Docker API (real-time)
  • Historical Only: From MongoDB (persisted logs)
  • Both: Merged and sorted by timestamp (newest first)

5. Data Enrichment

Live logs automatically enriched with:

  • Parsed severity level
  • Timestamp extraction
  • Confidence score
  • Metadata (parsing pattern used)
  • Container information
  • Monitor ID reference

Database Schema

DockerLog Model

{
  monitorId: ObjectId,        // Reference to Monitor
  teamId: ObjectId,           // Reference to Team
  containerId: String,        // Docker container ID
  containerName: String,      // Container name
  timestamp: Date,            // Log timestamp (indexed)
  severity: String,           // Enum: TRACE|DEBUG|INFO|WARN|ERROR|FATAL|UNKNOWN
  message: String,            // Cleaned message (text indexed)
  rawLog: String,             // Original log line (text indexed)
  metadata: {
    pattern: String,          // Parser pattern used
    confidence: Number,       // 0-100
    extractedFields: Mixed    // Additional parsed data
  },
  captureReason: String,      // Enum: monitor_down|monitor_up|manual|scheduled|error_threshold
  snapshotId: String,         // UUID v4 for grouping
  createdAt: Date,            // Auto-generated
  updatedAt: Date             // Auto-generated
}

Indexes

  • Compound: { monitorId: 1, timestamp: -1 }
  • Compound: { teamId: 1, createdAt: -1 }
  • Compound: { snapshotId: 1, timestamp: -1 }
  • Single: { severity: 1 }
  • Single: { captureReason: 1 }
  • TTL: { createdAt: 1 } (expires after 30 days)
  • Text: { message: "text", rawLog: "text" }

Usage Examples

Example 1: Get Live Logs Only

GET /api/v1/monitors/507f1f77bcf86cd799439011/docker-logs?source=live&tail=200

Example 2: Get Historical Error Logs

GET /api/v1/monitors/507f1f77bcf86cd799439011/docker-logs?source=historical&severity=ERROR&startDate=2025-01-01&endDate=2025-01-14

Example 3: Search Historical Logs

GET /api/v1/monitors/507f1f77bcf86cd799439011/docker-logs?source=historical&search=database%20connection&limit=50

Example 4: Merge Live + Historical

GET /api/v1/monitors/507f1f77bcf86cd799439011/docker-logs?source=both&severity=WARN&limit=500

Performance Considerations

Optimizations

  • Compound Indexes: Fast queries on monitorId + timestamp
  • TTL Index: Automatic cleanup prevents unbounded growth
  • Text Index: Efficient full-text search
  • Pagination: Prevents large result sets
  • Lean Queries: Returns plain objects (not Mongoose documents)

Limits

  • Maximum logs per request: 10,000
  • Search query max length: 500 characters
  • Default retention: 30 days (configurable via TTL)
  • Live log tail max: 10,000 lines

Auto-Save Configuration

Environment Variables

AUTO_SAVE_DOCKER_LOGS=true          # Enable auto-saving (default: true)
DOCKER_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS=30        # TTL in days (default: 30)
DOCKER_LOG_ERROR_THRESHOLD=10       # Error count to trigger save

Trigger Events

  1. Monitor Status Change: DOWN → saves last N logs
  2. Monitor Recovery: UP → saves recovery logs
  3. Manual Capture: API endpoint for on-demand snapshots
  4. Scheduled Snapshots: Cron job for periodic captures
  5. Error Threshold: Saves when error count exceeds limit

Next Steps

Pending Frontend Implementation

  1. Severity Filter Chips: MUI Chips with color coding
  2. Date Range Picker: Material-UI DateRangePicker
  3. Export Functionality: JSON/CSV download buttons
  4. Log Formatting: Syntax highlighting and line numbers
  5. Real-time Updates: WebSocket or SSE integration

Testing Required

  1. Integration tests for Docker operations
  2. Log parsing accuracy tests (all 8 formats)
  3. Database query performance tests
  4. End-to-end workflow tests
  5. CI/CD pipeline setup

Migration Notes

Backward Compatibility

  • Old API behavior preserved when no new params used
  • source=live is default (matches old behavior)
  • Existing Docker monitors require no changes

Breaking Changes

None - all enhancements are additive.

Security Considerations

Access Control

  • Team-based authorization enforced
  • Monitor access verified before log retrieval
  • Search queries sanitized to prevent injection

Data Retention

  • TTL index prevents data accumulation
  • Configurable retention policy per deployment
  • Manual cleanup methods available

Performance Protection

  • Request limits prevent resource exhaustion
  • Pagination enforces maximum result sizes
  • Background saves don't block monitor checks
