# 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`:
```toml
[dependencies]
aya-log = { git = "https://github.com/aya-rs/aya", branch = "main" }
```
### eBPF side
Add `aya-log-ebpf` to `Cargo.toml`:
```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
```rust
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
```rust
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)
}
```

## Disabling log levels at load-time
eBPF instruction budgets are tight. Even if a log statement never executes at
runtime, the verifier must still evaluate its instructions unless it can prove
they're unreachable. `aya-log` now exposes a global `AYA_LOG_LEVEL` inside the
eBPF object allowing you to selectively enable levels before the program is
loaded.
By default all bits are set (all logging enabled). To disable all logging:
```rust
let mut bpf = aya::EbpfLoader::new()
.set_global(aya_log::LEVEL, &0, false /* must_exist */)
.load_file("prog.bpf.o")?;
# Ok::<(), aya::EbpfError>(())
```
Enable only Error and Warn:
```rust
let level = aya_log::Level::Warn as u8;
let mut bpf = EbpfLoader::new()
.set_global(aya_log::LEVEL, &level, false /* must_exist */)
.load_file("prog.bpf.o")?;
```
Because the level is placed in global read-only data, the verifier sees the
disabled branch as unreachable and prunes the logging instructions, reducing
overall instruction count and avoiding potential instruction limit issues.
