Ingesting ELB Logs to LTS

LTS can collect logs from ELB.

Prerequisites

You have created and used a Huawei Cloud load balancer.

Restrictions

ELB access logs only record requests sent to layer 7 dedicated and shared load balancers. Layer 4 shared load balancing is not logged.

Perform the following operations to configure ELB log ingestion:

  1. Log in to the LTS console.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Log Ingestion. On the displayed page, click ELB (Elastic Load Balance).
  3. Select a log stream.

    1. Select a log group from the Log Group drop-down list. If there are no desired log groups, click Create Log Group to create one.
    2. Select a log stream from the Log Stream drop-down list. If there are no desired log streams, click Create Log Stream to create one.

    Parameter

    Description

    Auto Structure and Index

    If this function is enabled, the structuring for the log stream is based on the ELB system template, and the indexing enables quick analysis for all parsed ELB fields. Enabling structuring and indexing is required for SQL analysis of ELB logs with visual charts.

    Auto Add Tag log_type=elb_7layer_access

    If this option is enabled, the tag log_type=elb_7layer_access is automatically added to the log stream, and the ELB dashboard template can then match this log stream.

    Auto Create Chart

    If this option is enabled, an ELB dashboard is automatically created for the log stream.

  6. Click Submit.
