how to capture actual backend response - apigee logs

Google Cloud Apigee

Hello!

About logging on Apigee X, we’d like to know if there are ways to see the actual backend response from the Apigee logs since the backend is throwing a 504 Gateway Timeout.

Is there a way to access the complete backend response in the Apigee logs? This would help us diagnose the root cause of the error and understand the actual response sent by the backend.

Note: Due to the high volume of backend requests (hundreds per minute), using debug mode wouldn’t be an efficient way to pinpoint the root cause.

Thank you.

No, APIGEE won’t log the contents of the request or response. If you do want to see that, you have to explicitly use MessageLogging Policy preferably as PostClient flow and log your desired content. Please check the official documentation on the ML policy to know more.
