运维关键日志

GreptimeDB 在运行过程中，会将一些关键的操作以及预期外的错误信息输出到日志中。你可以通过这些日志了解 GreptimeDB 的运行情况，以及排查错误出现的原因。

日志位置

GreptimeDB 的组件默认都会输出 INFO 级别的日志到以下位置：

标准输出
GreptimeDB 当前工作目录下的 greptimedb_data/logs 目录

日志文件的输出目录也可以通过配置文件的 [logging] 小节或者启动参数 --log_dir 修改：

[logging]
dir = "/path/to/logs"

日志文件格式为：

greptimedb.YYYY-MM-DD-HH 包含 INFO 以上等级的日志
greptimedb-err.YYYY-MM-DD-HH 包含错误日志

例如：

greptimedb.2025-04-11-06
greptimedb-err.2025-04-11-06

目前 GreptimeDB 的组件包括

frontend
datanode
metasrv
flownode

如果需要调整日志级别，如查看某组件 DEBUG 级别的日志，可以参考这篇文档在运行时进行修改。

重要日志

以下将列举建议关注的日志

错误日志

数据库在正常平稳运行时，不会输出错误日志。如果数据库的一些操作出现异常，或者出现了 panic，都会打印错误日志。建议用户检查所有组件的错误日志。

Panic

如果数据库出现了 panic ，则建议收集 panic 的日志反馈给官方。通常 panic 日志如下，关键字为 panicked at：

Metasrv

当 GreptimeDB 集群出现节点上线，节点下线，region 迁移，schema 变更等情况时， metasrv 都会记录相应的日志。因此，除了各个组件的错误日志外，也建议关注 metasrv 的以下日志关键字

Metasrv 切主/发起选举

// error 级别，标识当前 leader step down， 接下来会发生新的选举，注意 {:?} 这部分是 leader 标识
"Leader :{:?} step down"

Region 续租失败

// Warn 级别，表示一个 region 被拒绝续租，region 在某个 DN 上未被正常关闭/调度时，该 region 续租请求会被拒绝。
Denied to renew region lease for datanode: {datanode_id}, region_id: {region_id}

// Info 级别，DN 收到续租失败信息，并尝试关闭目标 region
Closing staled region:

Region Failover

// Warn 级别，发现部分 region 未通过 Phi 健康检测，需要执行 failover 操作，冒号后面好打印出相关的 region ids
Detects region failures:

// 某一个 region 迁移失败
Failed to wait region migration procedure

// Info 级别，当维护模式打开时，failover procedure 会被跳过。
Maintenance mode is enabled, skip failover

Region 迁移

// info 级别，表明某一个 region 开始迁移，日志后面会打印出 region 相关信息
Starting region migration procedure

// error 级别，某一个 region 迁移失败
Failed to wait region migration procedure

Procedure

Metasrv 内部通过一个叫做 procedure 的组件执行一些分布式操作。可以关注该组件的错误日志

Failed to execute procedure

Flow 创建失败

在创建 flow 失败时，通常在 procedure 的错误日志中可以看到失败的原因。日志可能包含以下关键字

Failed to execute procedure metasrv-procedure:: CreateFlow

Datanode

Compaction

在 compaction 开始和结束时，datanode 上会有如下日志：

2025-05-16T06:01:08.794415Z  INFO mito2::compaction::task: Compacted SST files, region_id: 4612794875904(1074, 0), input: [FileMeta { region_id: 4612794875904(1074, 0), file_id: FileId(a29500fb-cae0-4f3f-8376-cb3f14653378), time_range: (1686455010000000000::Nanosecond, 1686468410000000000::Nanosecond), level: 0, file_size: 45893329, available_indexes: [], index_file_size: 0, num_rows: 5364000, num_row_groups: 53, sequence: Some(114408000) }, FileMeta { region_id: 4612794875904(1074, 0), file_id: FileId(a31dcb1b-19ae-432f-8482-9e1b7db7b53b), time_range: (1686468420000000000::Nanosecond, 1686481820000000000::Nanosecond), level: 0, file_size: 45900506, available_indexes: [], index_file_size: 0, num_rows: 5364000, num_row_groups: 53, sequence: Some(119772000) }], output: [FileMeta { region_id: 4612794875904(1074, 0), file_id: FileId(5d105ca7-9e3c-4298-afb3-e85baae3b2e8), time_range: (1686455010000000000::Nanosecond, 1686481820000000000::Nanosecond), level: 1, file_size: 91549797, available_indexes: [], index_file_size: 0, num_rows: 10728000, num_row_groups: 105, sequence: Some(119772000) }], window: Some(86400), waiter_num: 0, merge_time: 3.034328293s
