14. Troubleshooting

Logging

For debugging you can enable the logging level: OFF, TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN or ERROR. TRACE will give the Akamai outputs.

MacOS

export TF_LOG=DEBUG

Windows

$env:TF_LOG = "DEBUG"

Additionally you can set the path of the log with the TF_LOG_PATH variable:

MacOS

export TF_LOG_PATH=./akamai_tf.log

Windows

$env:TF_LOG_PATH = ".\akamai_tf.log"

If you are experiencing Akamai API-like errors you can turn on the API calls logging. Make sure TF_LOG is set to DEBUG, and then:

MacOS

export AKAMAI_HTTP_TRACE_ENABLED=true

Windows

$env:AKAMAI_HTTP_TRACE_ENABLED = "true"

Akamai Provider Code

Sometimes when the documentation is not enough you may need to dig into the Akamai provider's code (opens in a new tab). The cdoe is writen in Go.

Exercise

Configure

Enable logging for the Akamai API calls and review the output. Try to make sense of all the API calls happening based on your Terraform configuration.

ℹ️

Note: if you enabled logging to a log file be sure to add it to your .gitignore file to prevent from uploading it to your repository.
