Disable logging on specific route?

Hey there,

I have an endpoint that’s used to check to see if an instance is up and available (for use with a node balancer). The node balancer will hit this endpoint once a second or so. Obviously that produces a lot of unnecessary log chatter, so I’m trying to figure out how to disable the request logging for this endpoint only.

I noticed that in Phoenix.Controller there’s an option under Plug Pipeline called “log” - but I’m not sure if it’s relevant and how to use it if it is.

Anyone else figured this out before?

I figured it out :slight_smile: thanks to @benwilson512 and others!

The answer is to use pipelines:

  • Remove the Plug.Logger line from the endpoint.ex file.
  • Add a pipeline which doesn’t include the Logger
  • Add plug Plug.Logger to all other pipelines
  • Add pipe_through <pipeline which doesn't include logger> to the scope you don’t want to log.

or

I use this plug:

defmodule HelloWeb.Plug.HealthCheck do
  import Plug.Conn

  def init(opts), do: opts

  def call(%Plug.Conn{request_path: "/healthy"} = conn, _opts) do
    conn
    |> send_resp(200, "")
    |> halt()
  end

  def call(conn, _opts), do: conn
end

And then endpoint.ex uses it like this plug(HelloWeb.Plug.HealthCheck) as the first thing that gets defined. This way it does the least amount of work possible. No controller or route needed and your normal pipeline gets ignored.

Pretty sure I grabbed that snippet and slightly modified it from one of @jola’s blog posts.

For anyone that stumbles across this question in the future, I wrote a library to do this exact thing but with any plug GitHub - akoutmos/unplug: Unplug allows you to conditionally execute your Elixir plugs at run-time · GitHub

Using Unplug, you can provide a predicate module that gets evaluated under the context of the current plug, and you can specify whether you want the attached plug to be executed or not.
