Perform Oracle Log Analytics Specific Configuration Tasks
You must perform the following tasks to start viewing your log data in Oracle Log Analytics.
Required Role: To complete these tasks, you must have the Oracle Management Cloud Administrator or Oracle Log Analytics Administrator role. If one of these roles isn’t assigned to you or you’re not sure, then ask your system administrator to ensure that the role is assigned to you in Oracle Cloud. See About Oracle Log Analytics Roles and Users.
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
| Task 1: Create a parser. |
By creating a parser, you define how the fields are extracted from a log entry for a given type of log file. See Create a Parser and Sample Parse Expressions. |
| Task 2: Create a log source. |
To monitor a log file, you must create a new log source and specify the parser to extract the fields in the log data. |
| Task 3: Configure the entity association for the log source that you created. |
Enable the log source that you created for a specific entity to start collecting log data. If you’ve enabled Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring on specific entities, then those entities are automatically available on Oracle Log Analytics to configure entity association for the log sources. |
