    Add Log Receivers

    This section introduces how to add log receivers.

    KubeSphere supports using Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and Kafka as log receivers.

    • Only one log receiver of each type can be added.

    • KubeSphere defaults to using OpenSearch and provides log analysis tools, which you can use in the toolbox of the KubeSphere web console to query logs collected by OpenSearch.

    • KubeSphere does not install Kafka by default and currently does not provide log analysis tools for Kafka. KubeSphere only provides the function of connecting with Kafka. If you need to use Kafka as a log receiver, you need to refer to the Kafka Documentation to install Kafka.

    Prerequisites

    • You should join a cluster and have the Cluster Settings Management permission within the cluster. For more information, refer to "Cluster Members" and "Cluster Roles".

    • WhizardTelemetry Logging, WhizardTelemetry Events, WhizardTelemetry Auditing, or WhizardTelemetry Notification should have been installed and enabled.

    Steps

    1. Log in to the KubeSphere web console with a user who has the Cluster Settings Management permission, and access your cluster.

    2. Click Cluster Settings > Log Receivers in the left navigation pane.

    3. On the Log Receivers page, click Container Logs, Resource Events, Audit Logs, or Notification History to open the log receiver list.

    4. Click Add Log Receiver on the right side of the page.

    5. In the Add Log Receiver dialog, select Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, or Kafka.

    6. Set the parameters of the log receiver, then click OK.

      ParameterDescription

      The index prefix of log data, used to distinguish different types of logs. Only available for Elasticsearch and OpenSearch.
