Collect Logs and Metrics for the Elasticsearch app
Before installing the Sumo Logic app for Elasticsearch must be set up and configured to log events.
Configuring log and metric collection for the Elasticsearch App includes the following tasks:
- Step 1: Configure Fields in Sumo Logic.
- Step 2: Configure Collection for Elasticsearch
Step 1: Configure Fields in Sumo Logic
Create the following Fields in Sumo Logic before configuring the collection. This ensures that your logs and metrics are tagged with relevant metadata required by the app dashboards. For information on setting up fields, see the Fields help page.
If you are using Elasticsearch in a non-Kubernetes environment create the fields:
- component
- environment
- db_system
- db_cluster
- pod
If you are using Elasticsearch in a Kubernetes environment create the fields:
- pod_labels_component
- pod_labels_environment
- pod_labels_db_system
- pod_labels_db_cluster
