An object that represents an access log file.

Contents

path

The file path to write access logs to. You can use /dev/stdout to send access logs to standard out and configure your Envoy container to use a log driver, such as awslogs, to export the access logs to a log storage service such as Amazon CloudWatch Logs. You can also specify a path in the Envoy container's file system to write the files to disk.

Note

The Envoy process must have write permissions to the path that you specify here. Otherwise, Envoy fails to bootstrap properly.
