How to view elasticsearch debug logs?

Elastic Orchestration Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK)
1

I need to see some logs about every http request that's coming in to Elasticsearch.
I am using the ECK operator 1.8.0
I configured the log level to be trace for Elasticsearch but the logs from the -es-default- still dont contain logs for every http request that comes in to Elasticsearch.

How can i see the logs of the http requests coming into Elasticsearch provisioned by the eck operator?

How did you proceed?

If you want all incoming HTTP requests, the Elasticsearch HTTP layer has a tracer logger which can be dynamically activated:

/_cluster/settings -XPUT -d '{
    "transient": {
        "logger.org.elasticsearch.http.HttpTracer": "TRACE"
    }
}'

Note: in the next ECK 1.9.0, we have added on the ECK operator side all HTTP requests made to Elasticsearch at the debug level (Elasticsearch HTTP client: log requests at debug level · Issue #4935 · elastic/cloud-on-k8s · GitHub).
