Mezmo
Instana supports integrating logs with Mezmo. After you enable the integration, you can be redirected to the Mezmo UI from the Instana UI to view logs that are stored in Mezmo. This integration enables a fluid workflow between Instana and Mezmo.
Configuring Mezmo log integration
You can configure Instana to integrate logs with Mezmo. Instana supports two log providers for Mezmo: Mezmo and IBM Cloud Log Analysis.
By default, the Mezmo log integration is disabled. To enable Mezmo log integration, follow these steps:
-
From the navigation menu in the Instana UI, select Settings > Integrations > Logging > Mezmo.
-
By default, Mezmo log integration is not enabled. To enable and show the Mezmo link on hosts, click Save and enable.
-
Select a log provider from the Provider drop-down menu.
-
Enter the details of the provider as described in the following table:
Provider | Parameter | Description | Example |
