Configure logging and related middleware

The configuration keys in the runtime.middleware section control how logging and timing behave in the OpenEdge MCP Server. These settings allow administrators to enable or disable features, choose log formats, and decide what level of detail is captured during request processing. The following table describes the configuration keys for runtime.middleware.logging:

Key	Type	Default value	Recommended value in production	Description
enabled	Boolean	true	_	Turns request logging on or off.
structured	Boolean	false	true	When set to true, outputs logs as JSON objects for easier integration with log aggregators.
include_payloads	Boolean	false	false (enable temporarily for debugging)	Includes truncated request and response payload excerpts. Avoid enabling in production to prevent sensitive data exposure.
methods	List[str] (List of strings)	Unset	_	Restricts logging to specific HTTP verbs or internal method tags. If unset, all methods are logged.

The following example shows how to enable structured logging and timing:

{ "runtime": { "middleware": { "logging": { "enabled": true, "structured": true, "include_payloads": false }, "timing": { "enabled": true }, "rate_limiting": { "enabled": true, "max_requests_per_second": 5 } } } }
