Cluster logging for Fusion Data Foundation

You can deploy cluster logging to aggregate logs for a range of OpenShift Container Platform services.

For information about how to deploy cluster logging, see Logging within Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform product documentation.

Upon initial OpenShift Container Platform deployment, Fusion Data Foundation is not configured by default and the OpenShift Container Platform cluster will solely rely on default storage available from the nodes. You can edit the default configuration of OpenShift logging (ElasticSearch) to be backed by Fusion Data Foundation to have Fusion Data Foundation backed logging (Elasticsearch).

Important: Always ensure that you have plenty of storage capacity for these services. If you run out of storage space for these critical services, the logging application becomes inoperable and very difficult to recover.

IBM recommends configuring shorter curation and retention intervals for these services. For more information, see Logging within Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform product documentation.

If you run out of storage space for these services, contact IBM Support.
