Sending Azure Logs and Metrics to Logit.io

Logit.io has a vast range of source integrations available to you, if you wish to see the full list you can view all Source Integrations. Within this article, we will break down the various Azure source integrations that you can implement in Logit.io. You will need to utilize Logstash for some of these configurations. To locate Logstash inputs, go to Stack Settings and then select Logstash Inputs, and you’ll arrive at the page shown in the image below. Here you can choose to add Logstash inputs for multiple Azure Event Hubs.

Your Logstash input supports multiple event hubs. The connection string details can be found under Azure Portal, then Event Hub, and under this you will find Shared access policies.

Tip: You are encouraged to create a separate consumer group specifically for Logstash and not to reuse any default or existing groups. A blob storage account is used to preserve the state across Logstash reboots.

To start sending logs from any Azure Event Hub to your Stack you need to submit an Azure input to Logit.io. Our engineers will verify your input before it is applied. This should be actioned in less than 24 hours, we will contact you to verify.

There is also a broad range of Azure integrations available through the Logit.io platform, the full list of integrations and configurations is listed below.

Azure Integrations

There are 9 different types of Azure integrations for Logit.io which we will detail below, including both logs and metrics integrations. Here, you can follow the simple steps for each integration to effectively implement the source integration.

1. Azure Activity Logs

Metricbeat is a nimble data collector designed to facilitate the monitoring of Azure Kubernetes Service. It achieves this by gathering essential metrics from the containers operating on the host system. This configuration will enable Metricbeat to efficiently harvest Azure Kubernetes Service metrics and statistics, and seamlessly forward them to either Logstash or Elasticsearch.

2. Azure Kubernetes Metrics

Metricbeat is designed to facilitate your Azure Kubernetes Service monitoring efforts. This integration achieves this by gathering crucial metrics from the containers operating on the host system. You can configure Metricbeat with the provided predefined examples, allowing you to gather and transmit metrics and statistics from Azure Kubernetes Service to Logit.io.

3. Azure Eventhub Diagnostic Logs

Azure Event Hub is a high-capacity data streaming and ingestion platform that can process millions of events per second, necessitating a dedicated log management service for effective event transformation and real-time log analysis. Azure's disaster recovery capabilities are renowned for their cross-compatibility across different operating systems, regions, and languages, with customizable backup schedules and integration with the Logit.io platform for enhanced data protection and version control. Pulling diagnostic logs from Azure Event Hub to Logstash is straightforward. The full configuration guide can be found in our extensive source integrations, Azure Event Hub Diagnostic Logs.

4. Azure Kubernetes Logs

Filebeat, a lightweight log shipper, simplifies the process of monitoring Azure Kubernetes Service. It achieves this by harvesting logs from the containers operating on the host system. By following the predefined examples, you can configure Filebeat to gather and transmit Azure Kubernetes logs to Logit.io.

5. Azure Logs

Azure Event Hub is a powerful platform designed for streaming and ingesting large volumes of data. With the ability to process millions of events per second, it's crucial to have a reliable log management service to efficiently transform and monitor these events for comprehensive log message analysis. Our platform offers automated parsing through robust and highly available Logstash pipelines, facilitating a swift migration of your log data.

6. Azure SQL

Experience enhanced data management with our Azure SQL Database integration. Logit.io connects with your Azure SQL Database, providing you with powerful data analysis and monitoring capabilities. With this integration, you can easily monitor your database's performance and security in real-time, enabling data-driven decision-making. Logit.io simplifies the process, so you can focus on gaining valuable insights from your data.

7. Azure AKS Metrics

Optimize your Azure AKS Cluster with Logit.io integration. Connect your cluster to Logit.io's platform for enhanced monitoring and analysis. This integration provides real-time visibility into your containerized applications and microservices, helping you manage and troubleshoot effectively. Keep a close eye on performance and security, and leverage the benefits of Logit.io to streamline your AKS Cluster operations.

8. Azure Container Activity Logs

Simplify your Azure Container Activity Logs management with Logit.io’s integration. Connect your logs to our platform for comprehensive analysis. This integration provides real-time insights into container activities, enabling you to efficiently monitor performance, security, and compliance. Logit.io streamlines your monitoring process, allowing you to make the most of your Azure Container Activity Logs.

9. Azure Metrics

Unlock the power of the Azure Metrics integration with Logit.io. Monitor essential services and resources, customize dashboards, and leverage anomaly detection to optimize performance. Logit.io streamlines integration for comprehensive data analysis, enabling you to enhance your cloud monitoring capabilities and maintain a secure and efficient cloud infrastructure.
