When you are setting up your Skylar Automated RCA system, one of your first tasks is to configure a method for gathering and sending log data to Skylar Automated RCA so that the Skylar AI can begin to analyze the log data.

You can configure one or more log collectors to gather logs and send those logs to Skylar Automated RCA for automated incident detection. You can also use a file upload method using the ze tool, the Skylar Automated RCA command-line interface for uploading log events from files or streams.

If you only want to integrate with ScienceLogic SL1, see ScienceLogic Integrations.

The platform can monitor two types of logs:

  • Live streaming logs are used for continuous monitoring, where logs are streamed back in real-time for analysis. These types of logs are listed below, starting with AWS CloudWatch.
  • Batch logs are used for post-event analysis, where logs are sent in batches after an event has occurred. This method is useful for analyzing logs from environments that have gone down. These types of logs can be uploaded using the ze Command tool and the Skylar API.

The following pages explain how you can collect live streaming log data from the following sources:
