Ingest Application, Infrastructure, Database and Other Generic Logs
Create the File type of log source to collect logs from your applications, infrastructure, databases, or most other type types of logs.
Oracle Logging Analytics provides a large set of Oracle-defined log sources of the source type File. You can view them in the sources listing page by filtering the sources of creation type Oracle-defined, and source type File.
Overall Flow for Collecting
Logs for File
Source Type
The following are the high-level tasks for collecting log information from your host:
-
Install Management Agents on your log-emitting hosts. See Set Up Continuous Log Collection From Your Hosts.
-
Create the entity. See Create an Entity to Represent Your Log-Emitting Resource.
- Identify a log source from the existing set of sources, both Oracle-defined and user-defined. If the existing source is not suitable for your requirement, then create a source. See Create a Log Source of Type: File.
-
Associate the entities with the source that you created earlier. See Configure New Source-Entity Association.
After the association is complete, the logs start flowing into Oracle Logging Analytics.
-
View log data in the Log Explorer by selecting the Windows Event source that you created earlier. See Filter Logs by Source Attributes.
