Creating Configuration

Steps

1. Click + New Configuration button at the top right to create a new configuration. The configuration wizard is displayed as below.
   
2. In the 1. Data Source section, fill in the required fields. For example
   
3. Click 2. Metrics.
4. Click the Select metrics field to open drop-down list and select the metrics you want to collect. For more information about available metrics refer to Metrics Types.
   
5. Click 3. Data Destinations.
6. Click the Select a destination field to open the drop-down list and select a destination.
   To create new destination, refer to Creating destination.
7. Click the Submit button.
   

After submitting, you will be automatically redirected to the configuration overview page. The newly created configuration is added to the configuration list.

Users can click on the configuration item (2) to edit, or click on the trash bin icon (3) to remove it.

Data Source

Indicate where the metrics & log are collected from, which can be an application or a system.

Currently, each configuration can define only one data source. To collect data from multiple sources, users must create a separate configuration for each data source.

Parameter	Description
Configuration title	Name of a configuration Mandatory Displayed in configuration list
Configuration description	Additional information about a configuration Optional
Data source	Refer to where the metrics & log comes from Includes system and all installed apps

Metrics Types

Refer to the types of metrics & log data to collect.

The types of metrics data differ according to the type of data source.

Data source	Parameter	Description
System	cpu	System CPU usage
	disk	System disk io data
	mem	System memory usage
	operationinfo	IED system operation info
	diskcap	Disk capacity of host and usage
	edgediskcap	Disk (volumes) capacity usage in Edge core
	log	System log collected from journald
Installed Edge Apps	imagesCount	App image count
	appSize	App size
	dataSize	App data size
	totalSize	Total app size and app data size
	cpuUsage	CPU usage percentage
	status	App status: "0" for not running, "1" for running
	log	App container log

NOTICE

If app providers want to use this mechanism to export app logs, the logs must use standard output (stdout).

Log Filtering using Log Levels

Application Logs get filtered by the Logging & Monitoring Service depending on the Log Level set in the Device Settings.

Due to the feature only application logs that implement logging the corresponding Log Level on each line can be transmitted.

For the standard device log level setting of info this means that only log lines which contain either Error, Warning or Info get transmitted.

NOTICE

To enable the transfer of application logs that don't implement proper Level logging set your Device Log level to trace.

Data Destination

Refer to where the metrics & log is forwarded to, such as InfluxDB, PostgreSQL etc.

Currently each configuration can define only one data destination. To route data to multiple destinations, users must create a separate configuration for each data destination.

For more detail about data destination, refer to Manage destinations.
