aya-log - a logging library for eBPF programs

Overview

aya-log is a logging library for eBPF programs written using aya. Think of it as the log crate for eBPF.

Installation

User space

Add aya-log to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
aya-log = { git = "https://github.com/aya-rs/aya", branch = "main" }

eBPF side

Add aya-log-ebpf to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
aya-log-ebpf = { git = "https://github.com/aya-rs/aya", branch = "main" }

Example

Here's an example that uses aya-log in conjunction with the env_logger crate to log eBPF messages to the terminal.

User space code

use aya_log::EbpfLogger;

env_logger::init();

// Will log using the default logger, which is TermLogger in this case
let logger = EbpfLogger::init(&mut bpf).unwrap();
let mut logger = tokio::io::unix::AsyncFd::with_interest(logger, tokio::io::Interest::READABLE).unwrap();
tokio::task::spawn(async move { 
    loop {
        let mut guard = logger.readable_mut().await.unwrap();
        guard.get_inner_mut().flush();
        guard.clear_ready();
    }
});

eBPF code

use aya_log_ebpf::info;

fn try_xdp_firewall(ctx: XdpContext) -> Result<u32, ()> {
    if let Some(port) = tcp_dest_port(&ctx)? {
        if block_port(port) {
            info!(&ctx, "❌ blocked incoming connection on port: {}", port);
            return Ok(XDP_DROP);
        }
    }

    Ok(XDP_PASS)
}
