| # Sidecar GCS ETW logging | ||
|
|
||
| Sidecar GCS emits runtime diagnostics through the | ||
| `Microsoft.Virtualization.GCSSidecar` ETW provider | ||
| (`5400e7dc-0f0f-553d-19b5-3672635b5f7b`), using the same Logrus ETW hook as | ||
| the host shim. Log Forward Service collects these events and forwards them | ||
| through the existing Windows logging socket, not the GCS control bridge. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Policy | ||
|
|
||
| The ETW hook buffers a bounded number of pre-policy startup events. It forwards | ||
| them only after the guest validates and installs a policy allowing | ||
| `allow_runtime_logging` and an ETW collection session is enabled. If policy | ||
| denies runtime logging, buffered events are discarded. The existing Log | ||
| Forward Service provider policy separately controls collection. There is no | ||
| additional forwarding permission. | ||
|
|
||
| Example policy excerpt (not a complete policy): | ||
|
|
||
| ```rego | ||
| allow_runtime_logging := true | ||
| allowed_log_providers := [ | ||
| "Microsoft.Virtualization.GCSSidecar", | ||
| ] | ||
| allow_log_provider_dropping := false | ||
| log_provider := data.framework.log_provider | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Existing versioned policy compatibility defaults still apply. Older policies | ||
| can allow collection without an explicit provider list. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Collection | ||
|
|
||
| The provider is included in the default sources at Information level. Enable | ||
| forwarding with `io.microsoft.virtualmachine.forwardlogs.enable = true`. | ||
| C-WCOW forwarding remains disabled by default. Every requested default provider | ||
| must satisfy provider policy: a disallowed provider is dropped if dropping is | ||
| enabled, or the request fails otherwise. Under the existing confidential startup | ||
| behavior, that failure aborts UVM startup, even if runtime logging is disabled. | ||
|
|
||
| To collect only sidecar logs at Verbose level, set | ||
| `io.microsoft.virtualmachine.forwardlogs.defaultsources.enable = false` and | ||
| set `io.microsoft.virtualmachine.forwardlogs.sources` to the base64 encoding of: | ||
|
|
||
| ```json | ||
| { | ||
| "LogConfig": { | ||
| "sources": [{ | ||
| "type": "ETW", | ||
| "providers": [{ | ||
| "providerName": "Microsoft.Virtualization.GCSSidecar", | ||
| "level": "Verbose" | ||
| }] | ||
| }] | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Provider names are matched case-insensitively when overriding default levels. | ||
| The sidecar Logrus level also filters events; debug and trace map to ETW | ||
| Verbose. Existing guest-local file output is retained when runtime logging is | ||
| allowed. Startup buffering is capped at 128 events and 256 KiB; individual | ||
| events larger than 16 KiB are dropped. Once streaming starts, events produced | ||
| while collection is disabled are not buffered for later replay. | ||
|
|
||
| Delivery is best effort. ETW events emitted before collection starts may be | ||
| lost; direct stderr writes and Go panic dumps are not forwarded by the hook. | ||
| Provider initialization failures are reported locally without terminating the | ||
| sidecar. Stopping Log Forward Service stops forwarding, not authorized local | ||
| ETW emission. | ||
|
|
||
| On non-confidential WCOW guests, an absent sidecar provider does not require | ||
| installing the sidecar. Guests without log-forwarding capability retain the | ||
| existing unsupported-feature behavior; supported collectors can subscribe to | ||
| the provider GUID even when no process has registered it. |
