LINUX COLLECTOR DETAILS

ze-fluentd-plugin

Zebrium’s fluentd output plugin sends the logs you collect with Fluentd on Linux to Zebrium for automated Anomaly detection. Our github repository is located here.

Getting Started

Installing

  1. Get Zebrium API server URL and authentication token from Zebrium.
  2. Determine what deployment name to use.
  3. Run the following command in a shell on host: 
    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zebrium/ze-fluentd-plugin/master/install_collector.sh | ZE_LOG_COLLECTOR_URL=<ZAPI_URL> ZE_LOG_COLLECTOR_TOKEN=<AUTH_TOKEN> ZE_HOST_TAGS="ze_deployment_name=<deployment_name>" /bin/bash

    ZE_LOG_PATHS environment variables can be used to add more log file paths. The default log file paths is:

    "/var/log/*.log,/var/log/syslog,/var/log/messages,/var/log/secure"

    For example, to add app log file at /app1/log/app1.log, you can set the environment variable value to:

    "/app1/log/app1.log,/var/log/*.log,/var/log/syslog,/var/log/messages,/var/log/secure"
