Log Insight (v3.0.1) Linux Agent Install on VCSA v6?

Documentation has information contradictory to decide or not to install the Agent of Linux Journal Insight on a version to 6U1 vCenter device.

Within the Insight v3.0.1 journal the following statement indicates the Agent Insight of the newspaper must be installed:

In the documentation of Log Insight 3.0 the following shows it takes to just install the syslog server in vCenter to transmit to the server of Log Insight.  No mention of the version of vCenter and no mention of the installation of the Agent of the Linux Journal Insight on the vCSA.

So I turn to google, which only adds to the confusion...

William Lam blog «a glimpse of native syslog support in VCSA 6.0» presents Preview setup of vCSA version 6 transfer of syslog logs and Log Insight.

However, Steve Flanders blog ' newspaper the Agent: Linux Configurations for Common Applications " refers to the installation of the Agent of Linux Journal Insight.

Anyone would provide clarification?  Is there a better method of practice?  If the Agent installation is the best practice that the agent provides on the native syslog in vCSA v6U1?

Thanks in advance!

Two books - the goal is just to get syslog to LI. The reason why LI says that you must use the agent is that vSphere content pack, and more particularly the dashboard "vCenter Server - Application" requires that the agent is stopped working. If you use syslog-ng, you will always receive the events, but this dashboard vSphere content pack will not work. I hope this helps!

    Ah! Yes, the agent is to collect real-time events. If no new event is written then it won't work. If you want to collect logs that have been generated before you use the importer of Log insight which was published with LI 3.3. I hope this helps!

  • What happens in newspapers if the Log Insight Server is down or if the agent Log Insight Windows isn't able to commmunicate with Insight Server logs

    If the agent Log Insight Windows is not able to communicate with the Insight logs server because of a network problem or Log Insight Server is down, what will happen in the logs on the computer monitors which agent?

    Are newspapers sent again to the server where it didn't the last time?

    Is the frequency at which the windows agent sends the data to the server? Is - that, as soon as the agent believes that any changes in the log files, it is followed are sent or any interval of time is used by the agent.

    And what is the amount(size) of the data windows agent sends to the server by calling?


    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    1.) agent implements cache storage - default to 200 MB, but can be increased up to 2 GB. Once the cache is full, the agent will drop newspapers.

    (2.) all that is in the cache is sent

    3.) very close in real time and similar to other agents of syslog. Some batches is low, more the cfapi sends the compressed events

    4.) for cfapi depends on, but less than syslog. For syslog, identical to syslog so typically around 170 to 200 bytes. If you are looking for bandwidth calculation see: http://sflanders.net/2014/08/20/log-insight-calculator/

  • Help - LI running, but get Apache2 Ubuntu default page while trying to access the Web interface of log insight

    Hello

    I installed the Log Insight 2.5 VM via vCenter Server ESXi 5, 5. I was able to deploy the virtual computer successfully and you can see the network through VAPP Options settings. (Attached picture - TIME settings).

    Question:

    Unable to access LI web Interface. While trying to access the Web interface, I get 'Apache2 Ubuntu by default Page' (img attachment). Insight of the newspaper runs and opens the web application on port 80.

    Newspapers, controlled far-

    status of /etc/init.d/loginsight

    Open a session running Insight

    Attached image Loginsight2-DURATION - file /storage/core/loginsight/var/runtime.log

    # sh li - cassandra.sh - status

    SH: li-cassandra-sh: not found

    Check if the tcp 80 port is open through the netstat command. Yes, it is open.

    Telnet on port 80, it says connection and crashes. Image attached - telnet-LI

    Able to ping the IP address successfully.

    How can I check http logs on console LI?

    I would really appreciate response to this soon. I'm working on installation LI for more than a week and struggling to get through this way.

    Thank you

    I believe that you with the configuration, but I tell you that the configured IP address and the IP you hit in your browser are not still the same IP, Log Insight does not work on Ubuntu, so you hit another system. To prove this, connect you to the console of the Insight newspaper and run:

    # cat/etc/SuSE - release

    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)

    VERSION = 11

    PATCHLEVEL = 2

    You will see that you are running SuSE to see a Ubuntu screen tells me that you have an IP address duplicate in your environment and you hit a node that is not an Insight newspaper. I hope this helps!

  • Log Insight event channel - default behavior record

    Once a Windows Server has an Agent Insight of the journal deployed and configured and the system, Application and safety chains are monitored it sends all events generated on the server to Log Insight?  My guess is Yes, but for some events generated on the server I can't find in a search on the server Insight journal.

    As Marc mentioned, it's all by default. If you believe that the e-mail are missing, take a look at the page/admin/agents to see if the drops are reported.

  • Log Insight 3.3 shows several entries host consuming licenses - can I clean it?

    Hi all

    So I installed the Log Insight 3.3 for vCenter and it helped me to set up log shipping. Everything works well except two things:

    1. Duplicate hosts (see below) consume all my OSI licenses. Anyone know how I can clean one of the entries? (Of course, I can add FQDN ESXi host name if this is useful and supported)
    2. 5.5 ESXi hosts are not in list host - configuration double checked and restarted syslog. Possible due licenses OSI are consumed by the host entries a copy?

    Release notes:

    The host table can display devices more than once.
    The host table can display devices more than once with each in different formats, including a combination of IP address, hostname and domain FULL name. For example, a device called foo.bar.com may appear as foo and foo.bar.com.
    The host table uses the host name field that is defined in the syslog RFC. If an event sent by a device via the syslog Protocol does not have a host name, vRealize Log Insight uses the source under the host name. This can cause the device being listed repeatedly as vRealize Insight Log cannot determine if the two formats are pointing to the same device.

    Advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    # 1 there is no way manually clear entries - for/admin/hosts the entry will be deleted once that all data from this host spun on (i.e. based on the retention period), for/admin/license if you click the question mark next to medium active HMOs, it says "The average County OSI active is the daily average number of hosts sending events to Log Insight." the big question is why are you seeing duplicates? Duplicates saw if DNS front AND rear are or are not configured correctly. Duplicates can also result in malformed syslog events.

    # 2, the question is not duplicated OSI - if this does not work, it means that something is wrong. It could be the network report including DNS resolution on the ESXi host or network firewall configuration (no configuration host firewall). You'll probably want to connect to and 5.5 ESXI host and check things like syslog configuration validation, confirming the network connectivity to LI, confirming DNS resolution to the syslog destination is work, etc..

    I hope this helps!

    One faces this question erlier? then helpme out.

    Hello

    1. If your files are located on a remote file system, you will need to copy one of your files to the computer that Designer ODI runs to allow ODI retrieve the metadata of the file information.
    2. in the topology to create a physical schema, the directory you enter data and the scheme of work must point to this local file.
    3. then set the file data store in the designer of the ODI. Enter a name, browse and select the file and fill each deposited the files tab.

    * If it's a fixed file, click on the network icon in the column into the columns tab and have checked auto adjustment.
    * If it is a delimited file, use the reverse button on the columns tab to reverse the columns.
    * Right-click on the Datastore folder select View Data, if you can view the data, which means that store file data has been correctly set.
    * If this is not the case, check each tab of the database file to make sure that everything is set correctly and try again.

    4. once the display data to be successful, now change you directories (data and the scheme of work in topology) to point to the remote file system. These directories must be accessible to the ODI Agent that will be used to perform transformations. The directory can be an absolute path (m:/public/data/files) or a parent in the ODI Agent startup directory (.. files/demo /). It is strongly recommended to use a UNC (regardless of the location of execution) name for the path. Executing transformations "agentless", the directory is relative to the directory where Oracle Data Integrator was installed.

    You must have an agent process running on the system that contains your source file.
    Then during the race, the odi interface choose this agent.

    Thank you

  • Vcenter 6 - integration vRealize Log Insight user access rights

    Good afternoon.

    I'm to deploy the solution to the latest version of vRealize log Insight. In my work asked me if I could create a user account only to integrate Vcenter vRealize Log Insight that wasn't the root of vCenter. Search for documentation, I found information on this subject. Also important to remember that this account will collect newspapers of my hundreds of ESXI.

    In the image below:

    It is a demonstration of the integration that I made using the default account with root access to Vcenter.

    You must provide credentials user with the following privileges:

    System.View

    Host.Configuration.Advanced settings

    Firewall and Host.Configuration.Security profile

  • Log Insight 3.0 integrated Load Balancer application

    So I have a cluster of Log Insight of three nodes and active integrated load balancer entered the IP address and domain FULL that my clients are pointing to. Everything is good so far.

    I'd like to understand how balance really works, i.e. If one of the nodes becomes unavailable id still wait to be able to ping the address of the ILB?  the behavouir can I see at the moment is when the master is down so is the address of the ILB, is - this planned?

    Yes if your IP ILB was linked to the master, when he went to bed, the ILB IP is supported by another node, which explains why the ingestion continues. Which means that you can ping the IP, but if you access the UI through the VIP it tries to go to the user interface of the master master having died the user interface is not available.
