rpk transform logs

View logs for a transform.

Data transform’s STDOUT and STDERR are captured during runtime and written to an internally managed topic _redpanda.transform_logs.

This command outputs logs for a single transform over a period of time, printing them to STDOUT. The logs can be printed in various formats.

By default, only logs that have been emitted are displayed. Use the --follow flag to stream new logs continuously.

Filtering

The --head and --tail flags are mutually exclusive and limit the number of log entries from the beginning or end of the range, respectively.

The --since and --until flags define a time range. Use one or both flags to limit the log output to a desired period of time.

Both flags accept values in the following formats:

Value Description

now

the current time, useful for --since=now

13 digits

parsed as a Unix millisecond

9 digits

parsed as a Unix second

YYYY-MM-DD

parsed as a day, UTC

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ

parsed as RFC3339, UTC; fractional seconds optional (.MMM)

-dur

a negative duration from now

dur

a positive duration from now

Durations are parsed simply:

Value Description

3ms

three milliseconds

10s

ten seconds

9m

nine minutes

1h

one hour

1m3ms

one minute and three milliseconds

Formatting

Logs can be displayed in a variety of formats using --format.

The default --format=text prints the log record’s body line by line.

When --format=wide is specified, the output includes a prefix that is the date of the log line and a level for the record. The INFO level corresponds to being emitted on the transform’s STDOUT, while the WARN level is used for STDERR.

The --format=json flag emits logs in the JSON encoded version of the Open Telemetry LogRecord protocol buffer.

Examples

Reads logs within the last hour:

rpk transform logs --since=-1h

Reads logs prior to 30 minutes ago:

rpk transform logs --until=-30m

The following command reads logs between noon and 1pm on March 12th:

rpk transform logs my-tranform --since=2024-03-12T12:00:00Z --until=2024-03-12T13:00:00Z
