Connect

Logger

Redpanda Connect logging prints to stdout (or stderr if your output is stdout) and is formatted as logfmt by default. Use these configuration options to change both the logging formats as well as the destination of logs.

You can also configure the redpanda component to send logs and status updates to topics on a Redpanda cluster.
