System Logs
The fluentd component does not collect the following system logs by
default because they require the configuration of additional permissions for the
$MAPR_USER.
| Service name | Parsing Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
| kernlog | Multi-line | Kernel logs from /var/log/kern.log. |
| syslog | Multi-line | System logs from /var/log/syslog and
/var/log/messages. |
| mysql_errors | Multi-line | MySQL errors from /var/log/mysql/error.log. |
NOTE
To enable fluentd to read and parse these logs, see Configure Logs to Index and also perform the following: - On Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS, add $MAPR_USER to the
admingroup. - On RHEL/CentOS, change the ownership of the log file so that it is owned by both the
rootuser and theadmingroup.
