How To


Summary

I would like to integrate remote LFA to load data to IBM Log Analysis. What is the configuration to enable this integration?

Steps

1) In format file,for example <LFA_config_file>.fmt, modify value of these parameters. These values are use by custom data source to identify this remote LFA setup:
hostname: use any identifier for host, for example: myRemoteHost
-file: use any identifier for path, for example: myRemotePath

REGEX AllRecords
(.*)
hostname myRemoteHost
-file myRemotePath
RemoteHost ""
logpath PRINTF("%s",file)
text $1
END


2) Restart the LFA on remote server:
 

$ ~/LogAnalysis/utilities/lfautil.sh -restart


3) Create custom data source through LA GUI:
i.  Choose custom. Specify "myRemoteHost" as Host name.
ii. Press next. Specify "myRemotePath" as File path.
    Choose type according to the type of the file.
iii. Provide a data source name, for example: LFA_config_file
