HACKING: Update web server debug logging
This hasn't kept up in the last years, and was now grossly wrong. cockpit.service just runs `cockpit-tls` which does not use glib. But Running it as root is dangerous and also not at all helpful for debugging! Default to logging all debug messages, and drop the obsolete "cockpit-bridge" log domain. Refine the restarting of cockpit.service to just stopping it. Socket activation will do the rest. Refer to debug logging of the bridge.

## Debug logging

All messages from the various cockpit processes go to the journal and can be
|
||||
seen with commands like:
|
||||
|

sudo journalctl -f

Cockpit's web server has verbose internal debug logging that can be enabled when
|
||||
trying to track down a problem. To turn it on add a file to your system like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/cockpit.service.d
|
||||
sudo sh -c 'printf "[Service]\nEnvironment=G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=cockpit-ws,cockpit-bridge\nUser=root\nGroup=\n" > /etc/systemd/system/cockpit.service.d/debug.conf'
|
||||
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/cockpit-wsinstance-http.service.d
|
||||
sudo sh -c 'printf "[Service]\nEnvironment=G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all\n" > /etc/systemd/system/cockpit-wsinstance-http.service.d/debug.conf'
|
||||
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||
sudo systemctl restart cockpit
|
||||
sudo systemctl stop cockpit
|
||||
|
||||
In the above command you'll notice the string "cockpit-ws". This is a log
|
||||
domain. There are various log domains you can enable:
|
||||
Instead of `all`, you can also specify a log domain:
|
||||
|
||||
* cockpit-bridge: Cockpit bridge detailed debug messages
|
||||
* cockpit-protocol: Very verbose low level traffic logging
|
||||
* cockpit-ws: Cockpit Web Service detailed debug messages
|
||||
* WebSocket: Verbose low level WebSocket logging
|
||||
|
||||
To revert the above logging changes:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/cockpit.service.d/debug.conf
|
||||
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/cockpit-wsinstance-http.service.d/debug.conf
|
||||
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||
sudo systemctl restart cockpit
|
||||
sudo systemctl stop cockpit
|
||||
|
||||
To debug HTTPS connections, replace `http` with `https@` in the above commands.
|
||||
|
||||
The bridge runs in the user session, not in a systemd service. See "Running the
|
||||
bridge" section for how to enable debug logging.
