Hi there

AFAIK railway logs returns the application logs at least for rails apps it will output the contents of /log/production.log

that means you can log any additional info you need

if you could let me know what is your tech stack, i.e. language / framework along with the values you want to capture, i could propose a way to surface the info you need

thanks

alex

Thanks for getting back Alex.

We have a nodejs express app. We can modify our express middleware logger to log the fields we need (such as http_user_agent, http_x_forwarded_for, sent_http_location,), but these will then appear mixed up with all the rest of our web server logs inside Railway's "Deploy logs".

What we want is to have Railway's "HTTP Logs" output more fields as is possible with nginx (currently Railway's "HTTP Logs" only outputs Timestamp, Method, Path, Status, Response Time).

We don't support a way for the user to add more fields to our HTTP Logs.

Like alex suggested, you would want to log this information yourself, but you would want to log it as JSON so that you can easily apply a filter to show only HTTP Logs that your application printed.

Thanks for the help guys I've got a solution working now using Railway's Locomotive template which pipes to Grafana Cloud using Loki. Have added the extra fields I needed to our Morgan http logger, and then added a custom attribute for filtering out only the http logs.

Awesome!

But I also need to mention that's not our template, that is a community member's template, though we do endorse it heavily so I'm glad it's working for you!
