Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Tagging allows you to add metadata to resources, which
enables you to define keys and values and associate them with resources. Tag your Logging Analytics resources such as log sources, parsers,
entities, saved searches, scheduled tasks, log groups, fields, labels, uploads, and
storage to organize and list them based on your business needs.
To learn more about tagging concepts, required permission for working with tags, tag
limits, tag variables, using tags to manage access, and managing tags and tag
namespaces, see Tagging Overview in Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Documentation.
Move Logging Analytics Resources
Between Compartments 🔗
You can move Logging Analytics resources such
as entities, log groups, and saved searches from one compartment to another.
Note
Ensure that you have the required access permissions on the
destination compartment to perform the Logging Analytics operations before you move the resources. After you move
the resource to the new compartment, inherent policies apply immediately and
affect access to the resource.
When you move a Logging Analytics resource to a
new compartment, the associated resources might not move.
Certain actions that you perform on Oracle Logging Analytics emit events. You can define rules that trigger a specific action
when an event occurs.
The Events service enables you to create automation based on the state changes of
resources throughout your tenancy. Use Events to allow your development teams to
automatically respond when an event occurs.
Use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring service metrics to monitor
Logging Analytics.
The service metrics are specific to your region and give you the visibility on the
overall service performance. You can view these metrics in the service overview page and
can also configure alarms using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure alarm features to get
notifications when thresholds are crossed.
To access the service metrics for storage:
Open the navigation
menu and click Observability & Management. Under
Logging Analytics, click
Administration. The Administration
Overview page opens.
The administration resources are listed in the left hand navigation
pane under Resources. Click Service
Details.
To access the Processing Errors, Agent Data Upload Size,
Agent Data Upload Errors, and Scheduled Task Execution Status
metrics:
Open the navigation menu and click Observability & Management. Under
Monitoring, click Service Metrics.
Select a Compartment you have permission to work in, for
example, root.
The list of metric namespaces is updated for the selected compartment.
Select the Metric namespaceoci_logging_analytics.
The metrics for Logging Analytics service are displayed.
The following metrics are available:
Metrics Name
Unit
Interval
Description
Active Storage Used
GB
1 Hour
Size of the log data in active storage which is available for
analysis.
Archival Storage Used
GB
1 Hour
Size of the log data in archive storage which is not in active
use.
Select the Metric namespaceoci_logging_analytics and the right Compartment while viewing the metrics.
For Processing Errors metric, note that the value of Compartment must be
selected based on your method of data ingestion. If you are collecting logs from
the object storage bucket, then the value is the name of the compartment in
which ObjectCollection rules are defined. For other methods of ingestion,
it is the default root compartment.
For the metrics Agent Data Upload Size and Agent Data
Upload Errors, select the agent compartment.
For the metric Scheduled Task Execution Status, select the compartment
where the scheduled task is located.
You can specify the following customizations to view the metrics:
The time span for which the metric data must be displayed
The time interval at which the data must be collated for display. Make sure to
specify a value that's higher than the metric's collection interval.
The statistical operation to perform on the data for displaying. You can select from
Max, Min, Rate, Sum, Mean, Count,
50 Percentile, 90 Percentile, 95 Percentile, and 99
Percentile.
Actions for Service
Metrics 🔗
In the Service Details page, you can view the various metrics for your
service. Hover the cursor on the chart to get more information on each data point. Further,
click the Options menu and select from any of the following actions:
View in Metric Explorer (View Query in Metrics Explorer for
Processing Errors): You can view the metric in the Metric Explorer of the
Monitoring service. In the Metrics Explorer, you can switch to the Data
Table view for the collected data points, edit the queries used for
generating the metrics, add a custom label to y-axis, or define the minimum and
maximum values for y-axis.
Copy Chart URL: Copy the chart URL to use it in your other resources,
applications, or for efficiency.
Copy Query (MQL): Copy the query used for generating the metrics and use
it for customization in the Metrics Explorer.
Create an Alarm on this Query: You can set up an alarm which
gets triggered each time the query is run and an error is detected.
For detailed steps to create an alarm in Monitoring service, see
Managing Alarms in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
Table View: You can switch to the Table View for a
tabular representation of the collected error data points.
For information on monitoring concepts and steps to access Monitoring
service metrics, see Monitoring Overview in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
