Enable logging applications through the UI

How to enable the logging stack through the UI for Workspace-level logging

You can enable the Workspace logging stack to all attached clusters within the Workspace through the UI. If you prefer to deploy the logging stack through kubectl, review how you create AppDeployments to Enable Workspace Logging.

To enable logging in DKP using the UI, follow these steps in Kommander:

  1. In the Global workspace nav, click on the Global dropdown and then select the Workspace you want to deploy for your logging stack.

  2. In the left rail nav, click on Applications.

  3. Ensure that cert-manager and Traefik are enabled in the Workspace. Scroll down in the Applications page to view the Foundational applications section. Confirm that cert-manager and Traefik are deployed.

  4. After validating these applications are deployed, scroll to the Logging applications section.

  5. Click on the three button action menu on the card for MinIO, and click Deploy. In this Deploy Workspace Platform Application page, you can add a customized configuration for settings that best fit your organization. You can leave the configuration settings unchanged to deploy with default settings.

  6. Click Deploy at the top right of the page.

  7. Repeat the deployment process for the cards on Grafana Loki, Fluent Bit, Logging Operator, and Grafana Logging.

  8. You can verify the cluster logging stack installation by waiting until the cards have a Deployed checkmark, or you can verify the cluster logging stack installation via the CLI.

  9. Then, you can view cluster log data.
