Check Logz.io for your logs
Give your logs some time to get from your system to ours, and then open Open Search Dashboards.
If you still don’t see your logs, see log shipping troubleshooting.
Deploying logzio-mysql-logs directly via Kubernetes
Before you begin, you’ll need:
- MySQL database hosted on Amazon RDS
- Destination port 5015 open on your firewall for outgoing traffic.
- An active account with Logz.io
This is a basic deployment. If you need to apply advanced configurations, adjust and edit the deployment accordingly.
Create monitoring namespace:
If you don’t already have a monitoring namespace in your cluster, create one using the following command:
kubectl create namespace monitoring
The logzio-mysql-logs will be deployed under this namespace.
Store your credentials:
Save your Logz.io shipping credentials as a Kubernetes secret using the following command:
kubectl create secret generic logzio-logs-secret -n kube-system \
--from-literal=logzio-logs-shipping-token='<<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>' \
--from-literal=logzio-logs-listener='<<LISTENER-HOST>>' \
--from-literal=rds-identifier='<<RDS-IDENTIFIER>>' \
# Uncomment the lines below if you wish to insert any of the following variables:
#--from-literal=aws-access-key='<<AWS-ACCESS-KEY>>' \
#--from-literal=aws-secret-key='<<AWS-SECRET-KEY>>' \
#--from-literal=rds-error-log-file='<<RDS-ERROR-LOG-FILE-PATH>>' \
#--from-literal=rds-slow-log-file='<<RDS-SLOW-LOG-FILE-PATH>>' \
#--from-literal=rds-log-file='<<RDS-LOG-FILE-PATH>>' \
-n monitoring
If you’re deploying to EKS cluster, and it has the appropriate IAM role permissions, you don’t need to specify your AWS keys.
Replace the placeholders to match your specifics. (They are indicated by the double angle brackets << >>):
| Parameter | Description | Required/Default |
|---|---|---|
| logzio-logs-shipping-token | Your Logz.io account token. Replace <<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>> with the token of the account you want to ship to. |
Required |
| logzio-logs-listener | Listener URL. Replace <<LISTENER-HOST>> with the host for your region. For example, listener.logz.io if your account is hosted on AWS US East, or listener-nl.logz.io if hosted on Azure West Europe. |
Required. Default: listener.logz.io |
| rds-identifier | The RDS identifier of the host from which you want to read logs from. | Required |
| aws-access-key | A proper AMI credentials for RDS logs access (permissions for download-db-log-file-portion and describe-db-log-files are needed). |
Optional |
| aws-secret-key | A proper AMI credentials for RDS logs access (permissions for download-db-log-file-portion and describe-db-log-files are needed). |
Optional |
| rds-error-log-file | The path to the RDS error log file. | Optional. error/mysql-error.log |

Deploy
Run the following command:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/logzio/logzio-mysql-logs/master/k8s/logzio-deployment.yaml
If you chose to use one of the optional parameters in the previous step, you’ll have to edit the deployment file - download it, and uncomment the environment variables that you wish to use.
