Lab 4 - Install Host Metrics App
Now, let's take advantage of Sumo Logic's out-of-the-box content.
- Click App Catalog in the left nav.
- Enter Host in the search field to show the app.
- Click Host Metrics to open its app page, and click Add to Library.
-
The dialog box that opens includes options to choose the folder where you install the app and to select a category for your data source.
-
Let's keep the folder as the default (Personal).
-
For the Host Metrics data source, select _sourceCategory, and use hostmetrics/<your_name>.
Defining an appropriate source category will let you zero in on your data anytime by specifying the source in your query.
- Click Add to Library to confirm your selections and add the app to the library.
-
The library page reopens to show the dashboards included in the app.
-
Double-click any of the dashboards to open it and display the data.
You've now visualized host metrics data and have the Host Metrics app dashboards. -
