Logs

Under the log directory, there are mainly two files: gin.log and log

  • gin.log: This is the access log file, which records external access to DataKit, excluding GRPC.
  • log: This is the DataKit runtime log file, primarily recording the startup and operational status of collectors as well as data reporting information.

Collectors

The collector directory is conf.d, which contains over 200 built-in collector configurations. For example, the conf.d/db directory includes more than ten types of database collector configurations; conf.d/host also has over a dozen host-related collectors.

Among these, conf.d/datakit.conf is the main configuration file for DataKit's primary collector, including configurations related to token, global tags, resources, APIs, etc.
