Abstract

On-demand aggregated logging for distributed systems is described. An identification of a logging condition is received via a first user interface. The logging condition is sent to multiple logging elements, wherein each of the multiple logging elements is executing on a corresponding one of multiple distributed systems components. A logging element determines whether a local runtime condition matches the logging condition. The logging element sends a local log associated with the local runtime condition to an aggregating logger, wherein the local log is supplemented with information that identifies the logging condition, in response to a determination that the local runtime condition matches the logging condition. The aggregating logger creates an aggregated log based on the local log and the supplemented information. The aggregated log is output via a second user interface to enable resolution of a problem associated with the multiple distributed systems components.
