Access Logger

Sword can log one line per request once the response is sent: method, uri, status, latency and a truncated request id. This is separate from the global [tracing] subscriber and is driven entirely by the [web.logger] section.

The logger is off unless the section is present.

Configuration

[web.logger]
enabled = true
level = "auto"
skip-paths = ["/api/health"]
log-query = false

Key	Type	Default	Description
enabled	bool	true	Enables or disables the logger
level	auto | info	auto	Log level policy. See Levels
skip-paths	String[]	[]	Paths to exclude from logging (exact or prefix match)
log-query	bool	false	Include the query string in the logged uri

Levels

• info logs every request at INFO regardless of the status.
• auto picks the level from the response status:

Status	Level
2xx / 3xx	INFO
4xx	WARN
5xx	ERROR

Request ID

The logger reuses the x-request-id header set by the built-in RequestIdLayer. When present, the logger logs only the first 8 characters; otherwise it uses a - placeholder.
