Forwarding application logs to external tools

You can forward application logs to external tools, such as Splunk, using the OpenTelemetry Collector. For details on how to install and use the OpenTelemetry Collector, refer to the official documentation of the tool provider (such as Splunk official documentation).

This method refers to forwarding logs from infrastructure and application pods. For saving robot logs, refer to Saving robot logs to Elasticsearch.

Note:

For details on how to forward logs to Splunk in versions prior to Automation Suite 2023.10.7, see the How to section.

By default, Automation Suite includes a logging operator. To use a custom logging operator, refer to the Bring your own components section for instructions on how to opt out of the default setup.

In its default configuration, Automation Suite forwards pod logs to the object storage bucket used by the platform components.
