Logging

When the Data Seeder runs, it will abide by GitLab’s overall logging level.

Change logging level

You can override the logging level by specifying the environment variable GITLAB_LOG_LEVEL.

Terminal window
GITLAB_LOG_LEVEL=debug bundle exec rake "ee:gitlab:seed:data_seeder[beautiful_data.rb]"
test

Available levels:

  • information
  • warn
  • error
  • debug

Logfile

The logfile can be found in log/data_seeder.log

Custom logging

Use the @logger global variable to log your own custom logs.

@logger.info "The top-level namespace is: #{@group.name}"
@logger.warn "This is a warning"
@logger.error "This is an error"
@logger.debug "This is for debugging"
