How to configure spring-cloud-gateway to use sleuth to log request/response body

Viewed 7155

I am looking to develop a gateway server based on spring-cloud-gateway:2.0.2-RELEASE and would like to utilize sleuth for logging purposes. I have sleuth running since when I write to the log I see the Sleuth details (span Id, etc), but I an hoping to see the body of messages being logged automatically. Is there something I need to do to get Sleuth to log request/response out of the box with Spring-Cloud-Gateway?

Here is the request headers that arrive at my downstream service


    headers:
       { 'x-request-foo': '2a9c5e36-2c0f-4ad3-926c-cb20d4428462',
         forwarded: 'proto=http;host=localhost;for="0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1:51720"',
         'x-forwarded-for': '0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1',
         'x-forwarded-proto': 'http',
         'x-forwarded-port': '80',
         'x-forwarded-host': 'localhost',
         'x-b3-traceid': '5bd33eb8050c7a32dfce6adfe68b06ca',
         'x-b3-spanid': 'ba202a6d6f3e2893',
         'x-b3-parentspanid': 'dfce6adfe68b06ca',
         'x-b3-sampled': '0',
         host: 'localhost:8080' },

Gradle file in the gateway service..


    buildscript {
        ext {
            kotlinVersion = '1.2.61'
            springBootVersion = '2.0.6.RELEASE'
            springCloudVersion = 'Finchley.RELEASE'
        }
    }
    dependencyManagement {
        imports {
            mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-sleuth:2.0.2.RELEASE"
            mavenBom 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-gateway:2.0.2.RELEASE'
            mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        implementation('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-sleuth')
        implementation('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-gateway')
        implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8")
        implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect")
        testImplementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
    }

and finally the application.yml file for the gateway service...


    server:
      servlet:
        contextPath: /
      port: 80
    spring:
      application:
        name: api.gateway.ben.com
      sleuth:
        trace-id128: true
        sampler:
          probability: 1.0
      cloud:
        gateway:
          routes:
          - id: admin-ui-2
            predicates:
            - Path=/admin-ui-2/echo/*
            filters:
            - SetPath=/fred
            - AddRequestHeader=X-Request-Foo, 2a9c5e36-2c0f-4ad3-926c-cb20d4428462
            - AddResponseHeader=X-Response-Foo, Bar
            uri: http://localhost:8080
    logging:
      pattern:
        level: "[%X{X-B3-TraceId}/%X{X-B3-SpanId}] %-5p [%t] %C{2} - %m%n"
      level:
        org.springframework.web: DEBUG

Spring Cloud Gateway already can log the request and response, you just need to change your log level to TRACE.

logging:
  level:
    org.springframework: TRACE

or to be more precise to just log req/resp:

logging:
  level:
    org.springframework.core.codec.StringDecoder: TRACE

Other option is to use a Filter in Spring Cloud Gateway and log req/resp etc with any loggers like Log4j:

routeBuilder.route(id,
                            r -> {
                                return r.path(path).and().method(requestmethod).and()
                                        .header(routmap.getRequestheaderkey(), routmap.getRequestheadervalue()).and()
                                        .readBody(String.class, requestBody -> {
                                            return true;
                                        }).filters(f -> {
                                            f.rewritePath(rewritepathregex, replacement);
                                            f.prefixPath(perfixpath);

                                            f.filter(LogFilter);
                                            return f;
                                        }).uri(uri);
                            });

This filer "LogFilter" you need to define which would have logging logic.
