Install the Istio App and view the Dashboards

Install the App

Now that you have set up metric and log collection for Istio, install the Sumo Logic App for Istio and access the pre-configured dashboards that provide visibility into your Istio environment.

To install the app, do the following:

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

3. 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. 

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. 

Filter with template variables   

Template variables provide dynamic dashboards that rescope data on the fly. As you apply variables to troubleshoot through your dashboard, you can view dynamic changes to the data for a fast resolution to the root cause. For more information, see the Filter with template variables help page.
