MinIO Invalid logging status error encountered when configuring logging in MinIO.

The logging status is invalid or not supported.

Understanding MinIO and Its Purpose

MinIO is a high-performance, distributed object storage system designed to handle large-scale data storage needs. It is particularly well-suited for cloud-native applications and is compatible with the Amazon S3 API, making it a popular choice for developers looking to build scalable storage solutions. MinIO is known for its simplicity, high performance, and strong consistency guarantees.

Recognizing the Symptom: InvalidLoggingStatus

When configuring logging in MinIO, you might encounter an error message indicating an 'InvalidLoggingStatus'. This error typically arises during the setup or modification of logging configurations, and it prevents the logging system from functioning correctly.

Exploring the Issue: InvalidLoggingStatus

The 'InvalidLoggingStatus' error occurs when the logging status set in the MinIO configuration is not recognized or supported by the system. This could be due to a typo, an unsupported logging level, or an incorrect configuration format. MinIO requires specific logging configurations to be set correctly to enable logging features.

Common Causes

  • Incorrect logging level specified.
  • Unsupported logging configuration format.
  • Typographical errors in the configuration file.

Steps to Fix the InvalidLoggingStatus Issue

To resolve the 'InvalidLoggingStatus' error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify Logging Configuration

Check the logging configuration in your MinIO setup. Ensure that the logging level and format are correctly specified. MinIO supports specific logging levels such as 'info', 'warn', 'error', and 'debug'. Ensure that you are using one of these supported levels.

logging:
console:
level: "info"
format: "json"

Step 2: Correct Configuration File

Open your MinIO configuration file and look for any typographical errors or unsupported configurations. Correct any mistakes and save the file.

Step 3: Restart MinIO Server

After making changes to the configuration file, restart the MinIO server to apply the new settings. Use the following command to restart MinIO:

systemctl restart minio

Step 4: Validate Logging Status

Once the server is restarted, validate the logging status to ensure that it is functioning as expected. You can check the logs to confirm that the logging level and format are correctly applied.
