--dry-run-logs doesn't print anything

[pgiraud]

When running pganalyze-collector --dry-run-logs I don't see any JSON data printed.
I only get the following messages:

2020/03/31 14:25:28 I [server1] Testing log collection (local)...
2020/03/31 14:25:34 I [server1]   Local log test successful

The --dry-run option does only print the stats and activity snapshots data. Nothing for logs.

Here's however what the --debug-logs option returns:

2020/03/31 14:23:35 I [server1] Would have sent log state:
log lines: 9, query samples: 0
6 x STATEMENT_LOG
1 x PGA_COLLECTOR_IDENTIFY
2020/03/31 14:24:08 I [server1] Would have sent log state:
log lines: 1, query samples: 0
1 x STATEMENT_LOG
2020/03/31 14:24:11 I [server1] Would have sent log state:
log lines: 1, query samples: 0
1 x STATEMENT_LOG

Am I missing something?

Hi @pgiraud!

It depends a bit what your test scenario is - AFAIK --dry-run-logs only works for cases where the collector downloads the log files (e.g. from an API of a cloud provider), not for local files.

You might want to look at the --analyze-logfile option for local testing.

Also, assuming that you are looking at this in the context of PEV2, happy to chat more by email (see my GitHub profile)

So the help message is wrong:

Print JSON data for log snapshot (without actually sending)

I was interested to know what the JSON logs snapshot looks like.
