Configuring Archive Logs

⚠️ We do not recommend you rely on Argo Workflows to archive logs. Instead, use a conventional Kubernetes logging facility.

To enable automatic pipeline logging, you need to configure archiveLogs at workflow-controller config-map, workflow spec, or template level. You also need to configure Artifact Repository to define where this logging artifact is stored.

Archive logs follows priorities:

workflow-controller config (on) > workflow spec (on/off) > template (on/off)

Controller Config Map	Workflow Spec	Template	are we archiving logs?
true	true	true	true
true	true	false	true
true	false	true	true
true	false	false	true
false	true	true	true
false	true	false	false
false	false	true	true
false	false	false	false

Configuring Workflow Spec

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow
metadata:
  generateName: archive-location-
spec:
  archiveLogs: true
  entrypoint: whalesay
  templates:
  - name: whalesay
    container:
      image: docker/whalesay:latest
      command: [cowsay]
      args: ["hello world"]

Configuring Workflow Template

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow
metadata:
  generateName: archive-location-
spec:
  entrypoint: whalesay
  templates:
  - name: whalesay
    container:
      image: docker/whalesay:latest
      command: [cowsay]
      args: ["hello world"]
    archiveLocation:
      archiveLogs: true
