Logfiles

Insight uses logstash for monitoring logfiles. Logfile-entries will be digested and send to elastic-indices.

The logstash\config\insight-logging.conf monitors logfiles of the following processes:
Apache < HTTPServer >\logs\access.log
Wildfly wildlfy\standalone\log\server.log
Elasticsearch elasticsearch\logs\elasticsearch.log
Maximo WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\ctgAppSrv01\logs\MXServer\SystemOut.log

The configuration-file contains absolute pathnames. Please adjust pathnames if necessary.

Requirements

  • logstash\bin\insight-logstash.bat must be running.

Logstash-Dashboard

The dashboard can be activated with the following steps:

  • Elastic, logstash and Kibana are running
  • Open Kibana-client (localhost/insight/kibana)
  • In "Management" -> "Stack management" -> "Kibana Index Patterns" create index pattern "logstash-*" with timebased events
  • In "Management" -> "Stack management" -> "Kibana Saved Objects" you can import the Logstash-Dashboard-ES7.ndjson
