Installing the Talend logging modules

You need to manually install Talend Log Server which includes Kibana and Filebeat to collect logs.

Procedure

Copy and extract the Talend-LogServer-VA.B.C.zip archive file in the directory of your choice.

Information noteNote: The directory name must not contain spaces or non-ASCII characters.
To start Talend Log Server launch the start_logserver.bat executable file.
You cannot run Elasticsearch as the root user. Elasticsearch is part of the Talend Log Server, therefore you cannot run the executable file as root user.
Configure the values for LOG_PATH and APP_NAME for Filebeat:
- Open the filebeat.yml file located in the Filebeat directory and set the LOG_PATH and APP_NAME values as follows:
```
  paths:
    - ${LOG_PATH:C:\Talend\7.2.1\tac\apache-tomcat\logs\*}
  fields:
    app_id: ${APP_NAME:TAC}
```
- Or, set the LOG_PATH and APP_NAME environment variables:
```
SET LOG_PATH=c:\Talend\7.2.1\tac\apache-tomcat\logs\*
SET APP_NAME=TAC
```
Start Filebeat:
```
filebeat -e -c filebeat.yml
```

Results

You can now access Talend Log Server with the following URL: http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/dashboard/Default-Dashboard.

The ESB event logs that are displayed in the Logging page of Talend Administration Center are collected thanks to the Event Logging features that can be started from the Runtime container. For more information, see the Talend ESB Container Administration Guide.

Troubleshooting: When you start the Talend Log Server, if you do not see logstash-*, talendesb-*, and talendaudit-* indices, complete the following steps:

Delete the .kibana index.
```
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/.kibana'
```
For Windows users, use the curl found in utils\curl-7.50.3-windows-x86.exe
Stop the Talend Log Server.
Start the Talend Log Server.
