2 Upload Logs to Oracle Log Analytics on Demand
You can access your log data on Oracle Log Analytics by installing the cloud agent that collects logs from your target host. However, Oracle Log Analytics lets you to upload log data on demand. This is useful when you have log data from old applications that aren’t supported by the Oracle Management Cloud agents, but you need to analyze them for troubleshooting. In addition, if you have applications that aren’t set up to be monitored by Oracle Log Analytics, and if the applications return a large number of log entries, then you can use the on-demand upload feature to easily analyze the large volumes of log data.
The following are features of on-demand upload:
-
You can upload a single log file or any compressed file (
.zip,.gz,.tgz,.tar.tgz) containing multiple log files. -
The maximum file size for a single upload (single file or a ZIP file) is 1 GB.
-
You can name each upload for easy reference.
-
Using the named reference, you can upload files at different times to the same upload name.
-
You can select a log source for the log file, and a parser for the specific log source. Oracle Log Analytics selects a default one if you don’t specify a parser.
Note:
To generate any configured real time alerts for logs, make sure to specify the entity associated with the logs while uploading.
