Integrating with Operations Analytics - Log Analysis

When your environment includes IBM® Operations Analytics - Log Analysis, you can integrate it to enable searching through application logs in the Cloud APM console.

About this task

Integrating with your installed Log Analysis application involves configuring the Cloud APM server with the URL. For more information about Log Analysis, see the IBM Operations Analytics - Developers Community.
You must provide the top level URL for your Log Analysis installation, for example:
https://loganalysis.example.com:9987/Unity

The Log Analysis URL must be accessible from the hosts where users work with the Cloud APM console. It is not necessary to make it accessible from the open Internet.

Procedure

  1. In the Cloud APM console, click System Configuration > Advanced Configuration.
  2. Select the UI Integration category.
  3. In the Log Analysis URL field, enter the URL that is used to launch your Log Analysis application.

Results

The Log Analysis application is integrated and the feature is enabled for you to search through application logs from the Application Performance Dashboard.
Note:

Single sign-on is not supported from the Cloud APM console to the Log Analysis application.

What to do next

Select Performance > Application Performance Dashboard . Optionally select an application, then use the log search search box to search log files. By default, entries for the last hour are searched, but you can change this time period. If you select an application, only the logs on servers associated with this application are searched.
