sphinxsearchHow do I configure the log format for SphinxSearch?

To configure the log format for SphinxSearch, you will need to edit the configuration file. By default, the log format is set to plain which outputs the most basic information.

To set a custom log format, you need to add the query_log directive to the configuration file like this:

query_log = /var/log/sphinx/query.log
query_log_format = sphinxql

This will set the log format to sphinxql which will log the queries in SphinxQL format.

You can also set the log format to sphinxql_plain which will log queries in SphinxQL format but without the values.

The log format can also be set to sphinxql_query which will log only the query part of the SphinxQL statement.

You can find more information about the available log formats and how to configure them in the SphinxSearch documentation.
