Log visualization with the web console

You can use the OKD web console to visualize log data by configuring the logging Console Plugin.

For information about configuring the plugin during the logging installation, see Installing the logging using the web console.

If you have already installed the logging and want to configure the plugin, use the following procedure.

Enabling the logging Console Plugin after you have installed the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator

You can enable the logging Console Plugin as part of the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator installation, but you can also enable the plugin if you have already installed the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator with the plugin disabled.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the OKD web console.

Procedure

  1. In the OKD web console Administrator perspective, navigate to Operators → Installed Operators.

  2. Click Red Hat OpenShift Logging. This takes you to the Operator Details page.

  3. In the Details page, click Disabled for the Console plugin option.

  4. In the Console plugin enablement dialog, select Enable.

  5. Click Save.

  6. Verify that the Console plugin option now shows Enabled.

  7. The web console displays a pop-up window when changes have been applied. The window prompts you to reload the web console. Refresh the browser when you see the pop-up window to apply the changes.
