Log Collection and Aggregation

The primary log collection from Siebel Servers, SMC, AI and Gateway are done by Fluentd log collector agents. They run as sidecars to all the pods of these applications, collect necessary logs per configurations and forward them to the Fluentd Log Aggregator agents.

Log aggregators are another Fluentd agent type running as a standalone (not sidecar, that is) deployment which receives the logs which are forwarded by the log collectors previously mentioned, and transform them to be pushed to the enabled modules such as OCI Logging Analytics and/or Oracle OpenSearch.

DaemonSet pod log collectors: The logs which are generated by pods are present in the /var/log/containers/ location. These logs are collected by a daemon running in all the nodes and streamed to OCI Logging Analytics and/or Oracle OpenSearch.
