Purpose

$subject

DinithHerath and others added 2 commits August 21, 2026 12:47
Traffic Logging previously covered stdout only. Document the
traffic_logging.outputs sink selection and the two additional sinks:

- file: rotating file on a per-pod volume, permissions and rotation
  behaviour, and the Helm trafficLogVolume values
- http: batched NDJSON POSTs, queueing and backpressure, the four auth
  schemes, credential interpolation, and TLS/mTLS

Also add per-sink Prometheus metrics, a failure-semantics
troubleshooting table, and a full Helm example. Applied identically to
the 1.2.0 and next versions.

- Repair the broken clause in "Retry versus draining": "considarable"
  and "may belonger"
- Use US spellings: behavior, favors, labeled, favor
- Restore two em dashes that were dropped, one of which left a trailing
  space

Applied identically to the 1.2.0 and next versions.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Traffic logging documentation now covers additive stdout, rotating file, and batched HTTP sinks. It documents validation, delivery behavior, security settings, Kubernetes and Helm configuration, metrics, troubleshooting, and shutdown handling.

Changes

Traffic logging documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Logging contract and configuration
en/docs/api-gateway/{1.2.0,next}/observability/traffic-logging.md
Documents structured output, the collector-to-sink pipeline, default stdout behavior, sink selection, and startup validation.
Rotating file sink
en/docs/api-gateway/{1.2.0,next}/observability/traffic-logging.md
Documents file paths, permissions, rotation, single-writer constraints, and Kubernetes or Helm volume handling.
HTTP sink delivery
en/docs/api-gateway/{1.2.0,next}/observability/traffic-logging.md
Documents NDJSON batching, queues, retries, backpressure, authentication, TLS/mTLS, transport validation, and payload limits.
Policies, metrics, and operations
en/docs/api-gateway/{1.2.0,next}/observability/traffic-logging.md
Documents exclusion and custom-property behavior, multi-sink emission, metrics, Helm rendering, troubleshooting, validation, and shutdown handling.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 05382

The documentation update has no runtime impact, but it still contains a contradictory ignore-path description and authentication examples that trigger a Markdown lint warning, along with a minor availability-note wording issue. These bounded documentation and CI-readiness problems should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.
