Description Rich Megginson 2019-10-03 15:27:11 UTC

Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/logging/efk-logging-eventrouter.html

Section Number and Name: Deploying and Configuring the Event Router

Describe the issue: 

1) In 4.x, the logging stack will not process the eventrouter data unless MERGE_JSON_LOG=true - the efk-logging-eventrouter doc should explain this and provide a link to https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/logging/config/efk-logging-fluentd.html#efk-logging-fluentd-json_efk-logging-fluentd

2) The Deployment name should be "logging-eventrouter" instead of "cluster-logging-eventrouter" - the fluentd config expects the pod name to begin with "logging-eventrouter" - otherwise, the log records will not be assigned a UID matching the source UID of the event, they will be assigned a random UID
