Cloud Native Logging

Updated on 2024-10-14 GMT+08:00

Introduction

log-agent is built based on Fluent Bit and OpenTelemetry. It collects logs and Kubernetes events. This add-on supports CRD-based log collection policies. It collects and forwards standard output logs, container file logs, node logs, and Kubernetes event logs in a cluster based on configured policies. It also reports Kubernetes events to AOM for configuring event alarms. By default, all abnormal events and some normal events are reported.

NOTE:

In 1.3.2 and later versions, Cloud Native Logging reports all warning events and some normal events to AOM by default. The reported events can be used to configure alarms. If the cluster version is 1.19.16, 1.21.11, 1.23.9, 1.25.4, or later, after Cloud Native Logging is installed, events are reported to AOM by this add-on instead of the control plane component. After Cloud Native Logging is uninstalled, events will not be reported to AOM.

Notes and Constraints

This add-on is available only in clusters v1.17 or later.

Add-on Performance

Item

Description

Remarks

Size of a log

Each individual log must not exceed 512 KB in size. In the case of multi-line logs, the length of each line will be calculated separately.

None

Maximum number of collected files

On a single node, the total number of files that can be listened by all log collection rules is limited to 4,095.

None

Log collection rate

  • If the add-on version is earlier than 1.5.0, in each cluster, no more than 10,000 single-line logs can be collected per second, and no more than 2,000 multi-line logs can be collected per second.
  • If the add-on version is 1.5.0 or later, on each node, no more than 20,000 logs or 10 MB of logs can be collected per second.

Service quality cannot be ensured if any of these limits is exceeded.

Configuration update

Configuration updates take effect in 1 to 3 minutes.

None

Permissions

The fluent-bit component of the log-agent add-on reads and collects the stdout logs on each node, file logs in pods, and node logs based on the collection configuration.

The following permissions are required for running the fluent-bit component:

  • CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE: ignores the discretionary access control (DAC) restrictions on files.
  • CAP_FOWNER: ignores the restrictions that the file owner ID must match the process user ID.
  • DAC_READ_SEARCH: ignores the DAC restrictions on file reading and catalog research.
  • SYS_PTRACE: allows all processes to be traced.

Installing the Add-on

  1. Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster name to access the cluster console. Choose Add-ons in the navigation pane, locate Cloud Native Logging on the right, and click Install.
  2. On the Install Add-on page, configure the specifications.

    Table 1 Add-on configuration

    Parameter

    Description

    Add-on Specifications

    The add-on specifications can be of the Low, High, or custom-resources type.

    Pods

    Number of pods that will be created to match the selected add-on specifications.

    If you select Custom, you can adjust the number of pods as required.

    High availability is not possible with a single pod. If an error occurs on the node where the add-on instance runs, the add-on will fail.

    Containers

    The log-agent add-on contains the following containers, whose specifications can be adjusted as required:

    • fluent-bit: log collector, which is installed on each node as a DaemonSet.
    • cop-logs: generates and updates configuration files on the collection side.
    • log-operator: parses and updates log rules.
    • otel-collector: forwards logs collected by fluent-bit to LTS.

  3. Configure scheduling policies for the add-on.

    NOTE:

    Scheduling policies do not take effect on add-on instances of the DaemonSet type.

    Table 2 Configurations for add-on scheduling

    Parameter

    Description

    Multi AZ

    • Preferred: Deployment pods of the add-on will be preferentially scheduled to nodes in different AZs. If all the nodes in the cluster are deployed in the same AZ, the pods will be scheduled to that AZ.
    • Required: Deployment pods of the add-on will be forcibly scheduled to nodes in different AZs. If there are fewer AZs than pods, the extra pods will fail to run.

  4. Click Install.
