OCI Logging Analytics Configurations of Importance

These configuration elements form the building blocks of Siebel CRM Observability - OCI Logging Analytics configurations:

Log Sources

Log Sources indicate the location of logs. In OCI Logging Analytics configuration, each Siebel Deployment is defined as {namespace}_source. Configuration for Log sources are located at Hamburger menu > Observability & Management > Logging Analytics > Administration.

Parsers and Fields are required for ingestion of logs from every log sources.

Parsers and Fields

Ingesting logs from log sources may use parsers to parse incoming data streams into defined fields and these fields can be used in query and in analytics functions like aggregation, grouping, statistical functions, among others. Oracle solution provides multiple parsers for Siebel logs. It is also easy to create one’s own parsers – remember to use Creation Type as "User - created".

Log Groups

Log groups are effectively logical containers for logs to help in, for example, data security. This observability solution groups the log streams based on the application type – the following Log Groups are provided as samples:

  • SAI log group
  • SES log group
  • SMC log group
  • Gateway log group
  • Node log group
