AWS App ELB
Configure AWS to forward logs to Logz.io
When you set Logz.io to fetch Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) logs, Logz.io will periodically read logs from the configured S3 bucket. Elastic Load Balancing logs are useful for application usage intelligence and monitoring.
This service integration is specifically designed to work with the destination bucket to which the service writes its logs.
It is based on the service's naming convention and path structure.
If you're looking to ship the service's logs from a different bucket, please use the S3 Bucket shipping method instead.
Before you begin, you'll need:
s3:ListBucket and s3:GetObject permissions for the required S3 bucket (one bucket per region)
Send your logs to an S3 bucket
Logz.io fetches your Elastic Load Balancing logs from an S3 bucket.
For help with setting this up, see these AWS doce
Add a new S3 bucket using the dedicated Logz.io configuration wizard
Log into the app to use the dedicated Logz.io configuration wizard and add a new S3 bucket.
- Click + Add a bucket
- Select your preferred method of authentication - an IAM role or access keys.
The configuration wizard will open.
- Select the hosting region from the dropdown list.
- Provide the S3 bucket name
- Optional You have the option to add a prefix.
- Choose whether you want to include the source file path. This saves the path of the file as a field in your log.
- Save your information.
Logz.io fetches logs that are generated after configuring an S3 bucket. Logz.io cannot fetch old logs retroactively.
Check Logz.io for your logs
Give your logs some time to get from your system to ours, and then open Open Search Dashboards.
If you still don't see your logs, see log shipping troubleshooting.
Configure AWS to forward metrics to Logz.io
Deploy this integration to send your Amazon App ELB metrics to Logz.io.
This integration creates a Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream that links to your Amazon App ELB metrics stream and then sends the metrics to your Logz.io account. It also creates a Lambda function that adds AWS namespaces to the metric stream, and a Lambda function that collects and ships the resources' tags.
Log in to your Logz.io account and navigate to the current instructions page inside the Logz.io app. Install the pre-built dashboard to enhance the observability of your metrics.
To view the metrics on the main dashboard, log in to your Logz.io Metrics account, and open the Logz.io Metrics tab.
Before you begin, you'll need:
- An active account with Logz.io
