Setting up Kubernetes Logs Ingestion

LogicMonitor provides a Kubernetes integration which you can set up to forward your Kubernetes logs to LM Logs.

Prerequisites

• LogicMonitor API tokens to authenticate all requests to the log ingestion API.
• LogicMonitor Collector installed and monitoring your Kubernetes cluster.

Deployment

The Kubernetes configuration for LM Logs is deployed as a Helm chart.

1. Add the LogicMonitor Helm repository: 

$ helm repo add logicmonitor https://logicmonitor.github.com/k8s-helm-charts

If you already have the LogicMonitor Helm repository, you should update it to get the latest charts:

$ helm repo update

2. Install the lm-logs chart, filling in the required values:

$ helm install -n <namespace> \
--set lm_company_name="<lm_company_name>" \
--set lm_access_id="<lm_access_id>" \
--set lm_access_key="<lm_access_key>" \
lm-logs logicmonitor/lm-logs

Resource Mapping

Resource mapping for Kubernetes is handled by the Fluentd plugin.
