Enabling Log search for the pods

You need to enable the Log search feature before you can use Log search console in the pods.

Fix Pack 11

Before you begin

You have installed and configured OpenSearch on a cluster. For more information see, Installing OpenSearch on an Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
You have installed and configured Fluentd 1.16.4. For more information, see Download Fluentd.

About this task

When you enable the log search feature, the Fluentd service is deployed as a sidecar along with the productmaster-admin, productmaster-restapi, productmaster-sch, and productmaster-wfl pods. The Fluentd collects all the logs from these pods and indexes them in the OpenSearch.

Note:

Fluentd image is downloaded from the dockerhub.
If you cannot access this registry, download the image, and use through your private registry. Modify the ipm_12.0.x_cr.yaml file and update the image details under the fluentd_service section.

Procedure

Modify the app_secrets.yaml file and update the following OpenSearch details for the Log search feature.

opensearch_host
opensearch_user
opensearch_pass
opensearch_port

Modify the ipm_12.0.x_cr.yaml file and update the following. To enable log search feature, in the enable section, under the openshift subsection, update the value of the logsearch property to 1.
