Logging

Set Log Level

There are different log levels depending on the logging information that is desired to be displayed:

DEBUG: It will show low-level logs from Python.

INFO: It will show all the API calls that are being invoked by the provider.

WARNING: It will show all resources that are being muted.

ERROR: It will show any errors, e.g., not authorized actions.

CRITICAL: The default log level. If a critical log appears, it will exit Prowler’s execution.

You can establish the log level of Prowler with --log-level option:

prowler <provider> --log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}

By default, Prowler will run with the CRITICAL log level, since critical errors will abort the execution.

Export Logs to File

Prowler allows you to export the logs in json format with the --log-file option:

prowler <provider> --log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL} --log-file <file_name>.json

An example of a log file will be the following:

{
    "timestamp": "2022-12-01 16:45:56,399",
    "filename": "ec2_service.py:114",
    "level": "ERROR",
    "module": "ec2_service",
    "message": "eu-west-2 -- ClientError[102]: An error occurred (UnauthorizedOperation) when calling the DescribeSecurityGroups operation: You are not authorized to perform this operation."
}
{
    "timestamp": "2022-12-01 16:45:56,438",
    "filename": "ec2_service.py:134",
    "level": "ERROR",
    "module": "ec2_service",
    "message": "eu-west-2 -- ClientError[124]: An error occurred (UnauthorizedOperation) when calling the DescribeNetworkAcls operation: You are not authorized to perform this operation."
}

Each finding is represented as a json object.
