Logging

Kokomo provides an out of the box logging capability that can be used right away.

Native log viewer

After exposing your HTTP or TCP services with Kokomo, you may want to inspect the traffic that has been sent to your services. Typically this involves configuring some logging capability so that you can visualize the traffic, but with Kokomo we provide an out of the box logging feature that allows you to inspect the traffic directly from your Kokomo dashboard after logging in.

The logging feature of Kokomo allows to visualize logs for both HTTP and TCP traffic, for both the requests and the responses. It comes in handy when we want to debug or observe the traffic that has been sent to our services, and it is one of the differentiators between Kokomo and other similar solutions.

If the requests or the responses are too large, they can be truncated in order to preserve the performance of the logging functionality. In such cases, the log viewer will clearly say when a log has been truncated so there is no confusion when that happens. But for most regular traffic this is a rare occurrence that most likely you will never experience.
