Collect logs

You can configure server log collection details in the NAVER Cloud Platform console. You can use various default templates provided by the platform or manually configure logs to collect.

  • Logs from the following services are automatically integrated and collected by Cloud Log Analytics without any configuration:
    • DB Server logs from Cloud DB for MySQL, Cloud DB for MongoDB, Cloud DB for MSSQL, and Cloud DB for PostgreSQL
    • Logs from Search Engine Service (VPC) and Cloud Data Streaming Service
  • To configure logs for the Ncloud Kubernetes Service(VPC), go to Ncloud Kubernetes Service(VPC), not Cloud Log Analytics. For more information, see Access and manage clusters in the Ncloud Kubernetes Service (VPC) user guide.

To collect logs for a server:
1. Configure log collection in the console
2. Install log collection agent
3. View agent process and log collection

Note

There are two ways to configure log collection for server logs automatically created through Auto Scaling.

  • In Cloud Log Analytics, configure log collection for each server, then access each server to install the log collection agent
  • Use an image from a server whose log collection is already configured with Cloud Log Analytics to create an Auto Scaling group, then simply configure the settings in the console.
    • The logs configured for collection on the server from which the image was created are transferred to Cloud Log Analytics, but they are not actually stored there. To save the logs, simply configure the collection settings in the console. This ensures that the logs are transferred and saved without requiring you to install or configure anything directly on the server.

For more information on Auto Scaling, see the Auto Scaling user guide.

1. Configure log collection in the console

To configure log data required for data collection in the NAVER Cloud Platform console:

  1. In the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > All Services > Management & Governance > Cloud Log Analytics.
  2. Click the Management menu.
  3. Click the tab for the service whose logs you want to collect.
  4. From your list of servers, select the server whose logs you want to collect, and click [Collection setting].
  5. When the log collection setting popup appears, select a log collection template from the Log Template drop-down menu.
    • To collect logs not provided via log templates, select Custom Log, enter your configuration details, then click [Add].
      • Log type: Enter the log type. You can search for the entered log type to display the logs on your dashboard.
      • Log path: Enter the path and file name of the log file. You can use wildcards (*) in file names.
        • Example: /home/nginx/log/access*.log — collects all .log files beginning with access.
        • Example: /var/log/httpd/localhost_error_log_* — collects all logs whose file names change when a date is appended.
      • Use symbolic link: If you select the checkbox, it is collected even if the Log path is a symbolic link.
    • To delete the a log template, click [Delete].
  6. Click [Apply].
  7. When the guide popup for installing the agent on the server appears, check the details, then click [Close].
    • For more information about agent installation in server, see 2. Install log collection agent.
    • Click [Copy to clipboard] to copy the log collection agent installation command into the clipboard.
Note

If the number of custom log types exceeds 20, it may affect the search and export features.

2. Install log collection agent

To collect logs via Cloud Log Analytics, Configure log collection in the console to install the log collection agent on the server. Run the log collection agent installation command to automatically download, install, set up, and run the agent and begin data collection.

To install a log collection agent:

  1. Access the server you want to collect logs from.
    • Installation requires root privileges, so you need to work with a root account or an account with the sudo privilege.
    • For more information about accessing servers, see either Server access (VPC) or Server access (Classic).
  2. Run the log collection agent installation command on the server that you obtained in step 7 of 1. Configure log collection in the console.
    • When agent installation and configuration are complete, the following message is displayed:
      ================= Finish Installation =================
    • An install key is included in the log collection agent installation command. This must be accurately entered for the agent to be installed successfully.

3. View agent process and log collection

After completing log collection configuration and log collection agent installation, you can check the status of the agent process and log collection. To check this information on each server OS:

For Linux servers

  1. Access the server.
  2. Run the following command in the terminal to check the agent process:
    ps -ef | grep filebeat
    cla-use-management-check-linux
  3. Check logs generated as you run the command in the terminal.
    • Example: Running the logger message_test command leaves a log in SYSLOG.
    • For more information about checking logs, see Dashboard or Search.

For Windows servers

  1. Access the server.
  2. Enter the following command in Windows PowerShell to check the agent process:
    Get-Process -Name *beat*
    cla-use-management-check-windows
  3. Check logs generated as you install and run the agent.
    • Logs generated as you install and run the agent are classified as Windows event logs.
    • For more information about checking logs, see Dashboard or Search.
Note

If logs are not collected, check if an error occurred while installing the agent, and proceed with log collection agent installation again.

Disable log collection

To disable log collection from a server:
1. Disable log collection in the console
2. Remove log collection agent

1. Disable log collection in the console

To disable log collection in the NAVER Cloud Platform console:

  1. In the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > All Services > Management & Governance > Cloud Log Analytics.
  2. Click the Management menu.
  3. Click the tab for the service whose log collection you want to disable.
  4. From your list of servers, select the server whose log collection you want to disable, and click [Disable collection].
  5. When the Disable log collection popup appears, check the information and click [Apply].
  6. When the guide popup for stopping server log collection appears, check the details and click [Close].
    • Failing to delete the log collection agent from the server causes unnecessary internal traffic even after disabling collection.
    • Click [Copy to clipboard] to copy the log collection agent deletion command into the clipboard.
    • For Linux and Bare Metal servers, the commands to disable collection are the same.

2. Remove log collection agent

After you disable log collection in the console, you must delete the log collection agent.

To delete a log collection agent:

  1. Access the server.
  2. Run the log collection agent deletion command on the server that you obtained in step 6 of 1. Disable log collection in the console.
    • When log collection agent deletion is completed, the following message is displayed:
      • For Linux: Success Remove Agent
      • For Windows: Remove Agent

Set daily reports

Cloud Log Analytics includes a daily report feature that allows you to receive a daily email update on the status of major events and log collection for the current month, up to the previous day.

To send and receive daily reports:

  1. In the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > All Services > Management & Governance > Cloud Log Analytics.
  2. Click the Management menu.
  3. Click [Notification settings].
