[Koha-devel] Improving Zebra logging

Agreed. I think that would make a lot of sense.

The koha-*-zebra scripts should be merged into koha-zebra with several option switches, just as koha-indexer works... Same for SIP-related scripts.

Hi all:

 

As if you weren’t all sick of me going on and on about Zebra.

 

So you may or may not know that the Zebra logs are fairly useless in a package install of Koha.

 

At Prosentient, we don’t use package installs much, so I haven’t noticed this until now, but here’s a tip:

 

If you want to see what requests are being made to Zebra, you can do the following:

 

1)      vi /usr/sbin/koha-start-zebra

2)      Under start_zebra_instance, you can change “-v none,fatal,warn” to “-v none,fatal,warn,request” (note that “request” is an undocumented log level but it should work… alternately remove none and requests should appear in the log)

3)      sudo koha-zebra-stop

4)      sudo koha-zebra-start

5)      profit (or at least see the PQF which is sent to the server and whether you’re getting errors or OK query responses)

 

This is the kind of additional output you should expect to see:

14:15:00-17/11 zebrasrv(2) [request] Auth idPass kohauser -

14:15:00-17/11 zebrasrv(2) [request] Init OK - ID:81 Name:ZOOM-C/YAZ Version:4.2.30 98864b44c654645bc16b2c54f822dc2e45a93031

14:15:00-17/11 zebrasrv(2) [request] Search biblios OK 0 1 1+0 RPN @attrset Bib-1 @attr 1=1016 @attr 4=6 @attr 5=1 test

 

Anyway, I wouldn’t *actually* recommend changing /usr/sbin/koha-start-zebra since that’s part of the koha-common package… but maybe someone would be interested in making change to the Zebra commands to allow for different logging levels.

 

Other things to note:

 

koha-zebra-restart isn’t the same thing as koha-zebra-stop && koha-zebra-start. If you restart Zebra after changing the flags for daemon or zebrasrv, the changes won’t be brought across…it’s necessary to stop and start it again… even though the process is actually restarted… it seems to be restarted using the original configuration used when launching daemon in the first place.
