Logging

dwarvenpick is designed for container and Kubernetes deployments. Backend logs are emitted to stdout (console) by default so your platform logging stack can collect them.

Log format

The backend uses structured JSON logs (one event per line) and includes a correlationId field for tracing request flows.

Configure log level

Spring Boot supports configuring log levels via environment variables.

Common examples:

• LOGGING_LEVEL_ROOT=INFO
• LOGGING_LEVEL_COM_DWARVENPICK=DEBUG

Helm

Use extraEnv in the Helm chart:

extraEnv:
  LOGGING_LEVEL_ROOT: INFO
  LOGGING_LEVEL_COM_DWARVENPICK: DEBUG

Docker

Use docker compose environment overrides (or your container runtime’s env configuration) and read logs from docker logs / kubectl logs.
