The following shows how you can ingest host logs to LTS.

When ICAgent is installed, configure the paths of host logs that you want to collect in log streams. ICAgent will pack logs and send them to LTS in the unit of log streams.

Prerequisites

You have created log groups and log streams.
You have installed ICAgent.

Procedure

Log in to the management console and choose Management & Deployment > Log Tank Service.
In the navigation pane, choose Log Ingestion > Ingestion Center.
Click ECS (Elastic Cloud Server) to configure log ingestion.
Select a log stream.
1. Select a log group from the drop-down list of Log Group. If there are no desired log groups, click Create Log Group to create one.
2. Select a log stream from the drop-down list of Log Stream. If there are no desired log streams, click Create Log Stream to create one.
3. Click Next: (Optional) Select Host Group.
Select one or more host groups.
1. In the host group list, select one or more host groups to collect logs. If there are no desired host groups, click Create in the upper left corner of the list. On the displayed Create Host Group page, create a host group. For details, see Creating a Host Group (IP Address).
  NOTE:
  You can skip this step and configure host groups as follows after the ingestion configuration is complete. However, you are advised to configure host groups during the first ingestion to ensure that the collection configuration takes effect.
