Log Management

Most enterprise container managers have built in logging that captures anything logged to standard out and keep it with the container information. This allows you to navigate to your container (or pod in the case of Kubernetes) and view the logs from the manager. Some other services are available to help capture and aggregate the logs from multiple containers.

To make it easy to use these services with QIE the option -Dqie.containerMode=true is automatically set on the official QIE images found in DockerHub and AWS ECR.

If you have created your own image of QIE, make sure to set the -Dqie.containerMode=true on your command to get the logs sent to standard out.

MCP Audit Log

When the MCP server is enabled, each node instance also writes the MCP audit log. In a container its lines go to standard output too, each carrying the logger name mcp-audit, so the platform's log collector picks them up with the rest of the QIE log (see MCP Audit Log).
