The log plugin writes plugin envelopes (event/state/schema) to the EventDBX log output. It’s useful for quick debugging or lightweight audit trails without configuring external transports. Configuration is stored at the system data root (for example ~/.eventdbx/plugins.json), and publish targets can be specified per write if you only want selected events to reach the log sink.

​
Configuration

Configure via CLI (definitions are stored in ~/.eventdbx/plugins.json; no TOML editing needed): 
dbx plugin config log --name audit-log --level info --template "agg={aggregate} id={id} event={event}" --payload event-only
template controls event formatting; {aggregate}, {id}, and {event} placeholders are replaced. If state or schema are included via payload mode, they are logged as JSON.

​
When to use

  • Local debugging without extra infrastructure.
  • Lightweight audit trails where log collectors (Splunk/Datadog/etc.) already ingest application logs.
