Sudheer Vinukonda created TS-3072:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Debug logging for a single connection in production 
traffic.
                 Key: TS-3072
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3072
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core, Logging
            Reporter: Sudheer Vinukonda


Presently, when there's a production issue (e.g. TS-3049, TS-2983 etc), it is 
really hard to isolate/debug with the high traffic. Turning on debug logs in 
traffic is unfortunately not an option due to performance impacts. Even if you 
took a performance hit and turned on the logs, it is just as hard to separate 
out the logs for a single connection/transaction among the millions of the logs 
output in a short period of time.

I think it would be good if there's a way to turn on debug logs in a controlled 
manner in production environment. One simple option is to support a config 
setting for example, with a client-ip, which when set, would turn on debug logs 
for any connection made by just that one client. If needed, instead of one 
client-ip, we may allow configuring up to 'n' (say, 5) client-ips. 

If there are other ideas, please comment.
