Introduction
Terraform has become an indispensable tool in the world of infrastructure as code, offering a powerful way to manage and deploy infrastructure through code. As with any complex tool, troubleshooting and debugging are critical parts of the development process. Terraform’s logging capabilities are a godsend for developers needing to dig deeper into the execution process or troubleshoot issues. In this guide, we’ll explore how to enable and configure logging in Terraform to make your infrastructure management smoother and more transparent.
Understanding Terraform Logging
Terraform’s logging features are designed to give you a window into its internal operations, providing detailed information that can help in debugging issues or understanding how Terraform interprets your configuration files. The logging output includes information about the Terraform core, provider operations, API calls, and more. This detailed output is invaluable when you’re facing errors that are not immediately clear from the standard output or error messages.
