Hi everyone!  
I just start to create my own custom plugin with Lua. I implement Kong custom plugin template to learn. Next i pack it with LuaRocks and run in Kong API Gateway successfully.  
But in log section of handler.lua below, i can’t find anywhere my log when using custom plugin.

Anyone know what happen?  
Thanks

The way it works for me, i’m running Kong in a docker container locally, and on K8 in production. The log line is produced along with all the other logs from kong.  
The important piece to remember is to set the log\_level (KONG\_LOG\_LEVEL) to the appropriate value. For dev I have notice, and for production I have warn.  
In my dev box, my plugin is called glauth, and the logline looks like this

```auto
