B TF_LOG_PATH needs to be set as well

The answer is False. Setting the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG causes debug messages to be logged to the standard error stream (stderr). It does not log messages to syslog. Syslog is a standard logging system that is used by many Unix-like operating systems to collect and store system log messages. Syslog messages are typically stored in a file called /var/log/syslog. Terraform does not log messages to syslog by default. To log Terraform messages to syslog, you can use a third-party logging tool, such as Logstash or Fluentd. These tools can be configured to collect logs from stderr and send them to syslog. Here is an example of how to use Logstash to send Terraform logs to syslog: input { stdin { type => "plain" filter => { remove_field => ["message.level"] add_field => { "message.level" => "debug" } } } } output { syslog { host => "localhost" } }

FALSE Setting the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG causes debug messages to be logged to standard error (stderr) output, not to syslog.

B. False Setting the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG does not automatically log debug messages into syslog. Instead, it causes Terraform to print debug messages to the standard error (stderr) output. If you want to capture or redirect these debug messages, you need to handle the stderr output accordingly, such as redirecting it to a file or using other logging mechanisms.

B. False. Setting the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG causes debug messages to be logged to the console, not to syslog. The TF_LOG environment variable is used to control the level of logging in Terraform. When set to DEBUG, Terraform will log detailed debug messages to the console, which can be useful for troubleshooting issues.

B. False Setting the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG in Terraform does not cause debug messages to be logged into syslog. The TF_LOG environment variable is used to control the logging level of Terraform itself, not the system's syslog service. When TF_LOG is set to DEBUG, Terraform will output detailed debug messages to the standard error output (stderr) or the log file specified in the Terraform configuration.

https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/config/environment-variables Quote "Enables detailed logs to appear on stderr which is useful for debugging." By default, regardless of the log level, Terraform writes its log output to the standard error (stderr) stream. This behavior is useful for capturing log messages in the terminal or console where you are running Terraform commands, allowing you to see any warnings or errors in real-time. If you wish to redirect the log output to a file or another destination, you can use standard shell redirection as shown in my previous response. This allows you to save the log information for later analysis or to separate it from the terminal output.

B. False. Setting the TF_LOG environment variable to "DEBUG" does not cause debug messages to be logged into syslog. It actually causes the Terraform command-line tool to emit detailed debug output to the console (standard error output, specifically).

B is correct Setting the TF_LOG environment variable to DEBUG does indeed enable detailed debug messages from Terraform, but these messages are not automatically logged to syslog. By default, when TF_LOG is set, Terraform logs messages to stderr. To direct these logs to a file or another logging destination like syslog, you would need to manually redirect the output or use additional tools or settings specific to your operating system or environment. For example, in a Unix-like environment, you could redirect the Terraform command's stderr to a file or to syslog using command-line redirection or tools like logger. But this is not something Terraform does automatically just by setting TF_LOG to DEBUG. To log Terraform's output to a file, you might run a command like: TF_LOG=DEBUG terraform apply 2>terraform-debug.log

A, it appears in stderr. As documentation says: "Terraform has detailed logs that you can enable by setting the TF_LOG environment variable to any value. Enabling this setting causes detailed logs to appear on stderr."

Correct answer is B "Terraform has detailed logs that you can enable by setting the TF_LOG environment variable to any value. Enabling this setting causes detailed logs to appear on stderr." There is nothing to do with syslog https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/internals/debugging

Terraform has detailed logs that you can enable by setting the TF_LOG environment variable to any value. Enabling this setting causes detailed logs to appear on stderr. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/internals/debugging

B Terraform has detailed logs that you can enable by setting the TF_LOG environment variable to any value. Enabling this setting causes detailed logs to appear on stderr. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/internals/debugging

Terraform has detailed logs that you can enable by setting the TF_LOG environment variable to any value. Enabling this setting causes detailed logs to appear on 'stderr' .There is no mention of 'syslog' in the manual. So the answer is B (False)

B is the right answer and stop confusing people

Enabling this setting causes detailed logs to appear on stderr. Uses TF_LOG_PATH to change the path of log info.
