## Name

`sls-logger` is a plugin which push Log data requests to ali cloud [Log Server](https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/112903.html?spm=a2c4g.11186623.6.763.21321b47wcwt1u) with  [RF5424](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424).

This plugin provides the ability to push Log data as a batch to ali cloud log service. In case if you did not receive the log data don't worry give it some time it will automatically send the logs after the timer function expires in our Batch Processor.

For more info on Batch-Processor in Apache APISIX please refer

## Disable Plugin

Remove the corresponding json configuration in the plugin configuration to disable the `sls-logger`.
APISIX plugins are hot-reloaded, therefore no need to restart APISIX.

```shell
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
    "uri": "/hello",
    "plugins": {},
    "upstream": {
        "type": "roundrobin",
        "nodes": {
            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
        }
    }
}'
```
