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.

  • In "Settings" -> "Objects" -> "import" you can import the Logstash-Dashboard.json
