Description of problem: We added 2 new parameters uid and pwd to ELK integration. we want to update the Installing collectd and rsyslog docs on how to use them. Needs to update: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/index.html#sending-metrics-and-logs-to-a-remote-instance-of-elasticsearch, https://access.redhat.com/articles/4921101. Needs to add: If basic HTTP authentication is deployed, the elasticsearch password needs to be specified and encrypted: Copy /etc/ovirt-engine-metrics/secure_vars.yaml.example to create /etc/ovirt-engine-metrics/config.yml.d/secure_vars.yaml: cp /etc/ovirt-engine-metrics/secure_vars.yaml.example /etc/ovirt-engine-metrics/config.yml.d/secure_vars.yaml Encrypt the file and set the vault password: ansible-vault encrypt /etc/ovirt-engine-metrics/config.yml.d/secure_vars.yaml specifie the logging_elasticsearch_password to the encrypted file, the elasticsearch servers should share one password if there are multiple of servers. ansible-vault edit /etc/ovirt-engine-metrics/config.yml.d/secure_vars.yaml Note: the default user name is “elastic” if you want to use a different one you should add the “uid” parameter in config.yml file. Deploy collectd and rsyslog on the hosts: /usr/share/ovirt-engine-metrics/setup/ansible/configure_ovirt_machines_for_metrics.sh --ask-vault-pass
Hi Aviv, here is the draft of the updates: https://access.redhat.com/node/4921101/draft - I don't see a definition for the new parameters uid and pw - do these parameters need to be added to the list of logging parameters in section 4.1.2 ? https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html-single/administration_guide/index#Logging_schema
LGTM! There is no need to add these parameters to the list in section 4.1.2.
