Kubernetes
If you are running a K8S cluster, you can use fluent-bit to send data to the Apica Ascent. Please see below for instructions
Apica Ascent has provided its own fluent-bit daemon for deploying on K8S clusters. It is available at https://bitbucket.org/logiqcloud/client-integrations/src/master/fluent-bit/. It allows the administrator to pass a human-readable
CLUSTER_ID or cluster identifier with all the log data.Providing a CLUSTER_ID allows Apica Ascent to separate namespaces that may be conflicting in two separate K8S clusters.
- Clone the repository to get the
kubectlYAML files to start your daemonset
git clone https://bitbucket.org/logiqcloud/client-integrations.git
- The files needed are under the folder
fluent-bit
$ cd client-integrations/
$ cd fluentd-bit/
$ ls -la

-rw-r--r-- 1 user staff 86 Aug 9 05:25 fluent-bit-service-account.yaml
To get started run the following commands to create the namespace, service account and role setup:
$ kubectl create namespace logiq-logging
$ kubectl create -f fluent-bit-service-account.yaml
$ kubectl create -f fluent-bit-role-binding.yaml
$ kubectl create -f fluent-bit-role.yaml
The next step is to create a ConfigMap that will be used by the Fluent Bit DaemonSet:
$ kubectl create -f fluent-bit-config-logiq-forward.yml
You can enable TLS for Fluent Bit if you'd like to secure the data transferred through Fluent Bit to Apica Ascent. To do so, edit the `fluent-bit-config-logiq-forward.yaml` file as shown below.
output-logiq.conf: |
[OUTPUT]
Name http
Match *
Host ${LOGIQ_HOST}
Port ${LOGIQ_PORT}
URI /v1/json_batch
Format json
tls on
tls.verify off
net.keepalive off
compress gzip
Header Authorization Bearer ${LOGIQ_TOKEN}
Be sure to also configure the following:
- name: LOGIQ_HOST value: "YOUR_LOGIQ_SERVER_IP"
- name: LOGIQ_PORT value: "443"
- name: CLUSTER_ID value: "YOUR_CLUSTER_ID"
- name: LOGIQ_TOKEN value: "YOUR_INGEST_TOKEN"
Fluent Bit DaemonSet is ready to be used with Apica Ascent on a regular Kubernetes Cluster, configure the following in deamonset
fluent-bit-daemonset-logiq-output.yml. If you do not have your ingest token, You can generate them using apicactl- name: LOGIQ_HOSTvalue: "YOUR_LOGIQ_SERVER_IP"
- name: CLUSTER_IDvalue: "YOUR_CLUSTER_ID"
- name: LOGIQ_TOKENvalue: "YOUR_INGEST_TOKEN"
For Kubernetes version < 1.17, please change the apiVersion: "extensions/v1beta1" from "apps/v1" and remove selector attached to DaemonSet spec selector: matchLabels: k8s-app: fluent-bit-logging
kubectl create -f fluent-bit-daemonset-logiq-output.yml
