Install the Sumo Logic App

Now that you have set up collection for AWS ELB, install the Sumo Logic App for AWS Elastic Load Balancer to use the pre-configured searches and dashboards that provide visibility into your environment.

To install the app:

Locate and install the app you need from the App Catalog. If you want to see a preview of the dashboards included with the app before installing, click Preview Dashboards.

  1. From the App Catalog, search for and select the app. 
  2. To install the app, click Add to Library and complete the following fields.
    1. App Name. You can retain the existing name, or enter a name of your choice for the app.

    2. Data Source. Select either of these options for the data source.

      • Choose Source Category, and select a source category from the list.

      • Choose Enter a Custom Data Filter, and enter a custom source category beginning with an underscore. Example: (_sourceCategory=MyCategory).

    3. Advanced. Select the Location in Library (the default is the Personal folder in the library), or click New Folder to add a new folder.
    4. Click Add to Library.

Once an app is installed, it will appear in your Personal folder, or other folder that you specified. From here, you can share it with your organization. See Welcome to the New Library for information on working with the library in the new UI.

Panels will start to fill automatically. It's important to note that each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query and received since the panel was created. Results won't immediately be available, but with a bit of time, you'll see full graphs and maps.

  • Requests by Geolocation. Uses a geolocation query to display a map of the IP addresses used by clients accessing your apps for the last fifteen minutes.

  • Browsers and Operating Systems. Reports the breakdown of the client’s browser by operating system in a stacked column chart for the last fifteen minutes.

  • Requests by SSL Protocol and Cipher. Reports the breakdown of ciphers used by protocol in a stacked column chart for the last fifteen minutes.

  • Requests by Load Balancer. Displays a bar chart of how many requests are hitting a load balancer for the last fifteen minutes.

  • Data Sent and Received in MB. Displays the data being sent and received by client IP in a pie chart for the last fifteen minutes.

  • Target Group Utilization. Counts the requests by target group in the last fifteen minutes.

  • 4XX and 5XX Status Codes by Backend Instance and ALB. Charts the number of 4XX and 5XX status codes for each backend instance and ALB in a bar chart over the last fifteen minutes.

  • Average Req and Response Time by ELB. Displays the latency of each load balancer in AWS in a stacked column chart for the last fifteen minutes.

  • Average Target Processing Time by Target Group. Displays the average target processing time for each target group.
