Uploading New Logs to the Log Monitoring Application

Updated

Upload log files directly to the Log Monitoring application so that you can monitor the log events from your dashboards. You can upload any type of log file not previously indexed.

Before You Begin

  • Configure a monitoring policy with the On Demand template in the CommCell Console. To create the policy, see Creating a Monitoring Policy. If you do not have permissions to create the policy, contact the CommCell administrator.

  • Identify the log files to use as data sources.

Procedure

  1. From the My Applications page in the Web Console, go to Monitoring > Log Monitoring.

  2. At the top of the page, click Upload.

  3. Under Active Uploads, perform one of the following actions:

    • Drag log files into the box.

    • Click Browse, and then specify the location of the log file.

    The files that you selected appear in a list.

  4. In the Tag Name box, type a tag name for the log.

    Note: Tag names are added as facets under the Tags category in the Search page of the application. Tags provide a quick way to identify, differentiate, and search the log data.

  5. In the Template list, select the template associated with the type of log to be uploaded.

    For more information on templates, see Monitoring Policy Templates.

  6. In the Policy list, select the policy that was configured with the On Demand template.

  7. Click Upload.

    The Status column confirms that the log file was uploaded and shows the progress of the indexing.

Results

After the log file is uploaded and indexed, it appears under My Uploads.

What to Do Next

To start searching the log data, click Search this set of data. The search results page is displayed, and the tag name check box is selected under the Tags facet.
