Node.js function runtime logging

Written by

Cloud Functions automatically captures a Node.js application's standard output streams and sends them to the centralized logging system available in Yandex Cloud. In addition to the application run history, the system logs request execution events.

Additional messages are logged using standard language constructs:

  1. console.log: Outputs a message to the standard output stream, stdout.
  2. console.error: Outputs a message to the standard error stream, stderr.
  3. console.time / console.timeLog: Outputs the action duration.

Note

Multiline messages must be separated by \r (carriage return) and not by \n (line feed). When using a line feed, each line is sent as a separate message and displayed separately in the log.

For more information about the Console API specifications, see the WHATWG Console standard.

System messages

When handling each function call, the system logs START, END, and REPORT system messages:

START RequestID: <request ID> Version: <function version ID>
END RequestID: <request ID>
REPORT RequestID: <request ID>
    Duration: 236.606 ms
    Billed Duration: 300 ms
    Memory Size: 128 MB
    Max Memory Used: 22 MB
    Queuing Duration: 0.027 ms
    Function Init Duration: 225.298 ms

All lines contain the ID of the request (RequestID), which is generated automatically when the function is invoked.

The REPORT line provides a report on the function execution. It contains additional information about the resources consumed:

  • Duration: The time spent invoking the function. It includes the Queuing Duration and Function Init Duration parameters.
  • Billed Duration: The time you're billed for in accordance with the pricing policy.
  • Memory Size: The amount of memory specified when creating the version, MB.
  • Max Memory Used: The amount of memory used at the start of the request.
  • Queuing Duration: The time spent by the function call request in the internal queue. If it increases, this may mean there aren't enough function instances. The maximum number of instances depends on the quotas.
  • Function Init Duration: The time spent initializing the runtime and loading the function code.
