=== Search Slow Log
Shard level slow search log allows to log slow search (query and fetch
phases) into a dedicated log file.
Thresholds can be set for both the query phase of the execution, and
fetch phase, here is a sample:
[source,yaml]
--------------------------------------------------
index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.warn: 10s
index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.info: 5s
index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.debug: 2s
index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.trace: 500ms
index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.warn: 1s
index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.info: 800ms
index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.debug: 500ms
index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.trace: 200ms
--------------------------------------------------
All of the above settings are _dynamic_ and can be set for each index using the
<<indices-update-settings, update indices settings>> API. For example:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT /my-index-000001/_settings
{
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.warn": "10s",
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.info": "5s",
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.debug": "2s",
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.query.trace": "500ms",
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.warn": "1s",
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.info": "800ms",
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.debug": "500ms",
"index.search.slowlog.threshold.fetch.trace": "200ms"
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:my_index]
By default thresholds are disabled (set to `-1`).
The logging is done on the shard level scope, meaning the execution of a
search request within a specific shard. It does not encompass the whole
search request, which can be broadcast to several shards in order to
execute. Some of the benefits of shard level logging is the association
of the actual execution on the specific machine, compared with request
level.
The search slow log file is configured in the `log4j2.properties` file.

==== Identifying search slow log origin
It is often useful to identify what triggered a slow running query. If a call was initiated with an `X-Opaque-ID` header, then the user ID
is included in Search Slow logs as an additional **id** field

[[index-slow-log]]
=== Index Slow log
The indexing slow log, similar in functionality to the search slow
log. The log file name ends with `_index_indexing_slowlog.json`. Log and
the thresholds are configured in the same way as the search slowlog.
Index slowlog sample:
[source,yaml]
--------------------------------------------------
index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.warn: 10s
index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.info: 5s
index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.debug: 2s
index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.trace: 500ms
index.indexing.slowlog.source: 1000
--------------------------------------------------
All of the above settings are _dynamic_ and can be set for each index using the
<<indices-update-settings, update indices settings>> API. For example:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT /my-index-000001/_settings
{
"index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.warn": "10s",
"index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.info": "5s",
"index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.debug": "2s",
"index.indexing.slowlog.threshold.index.trace": "500ms",
"index.indexing.slowlog.source": "1000"
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:my_index]
By default Elasticsearch will log the first 1000 characters of the _source in
the slowlog. You can change that with `index.indexing.slowlog.source`. Setting
it to `false` or `0` will skip logging the source entirely an setting it to
`true` will log the entire source regardless of size. The original `_source` is
reformatted by default to make sure that it fits on a single log line. If preserving
the original document format is important, you can turn off reformatting by setting
`index.indexing.slowlog.reformat` to `false`, which will cause the source to be
logged "as is" and can potentially span multiple log lines.
The index slow log file is configured in the `log4j2.properties` file.
