Hi @mercy_esang,

your question is just a little vague, and the answer could beonly one: you can use Splunk!

In other words, using Splunk you can index each kind of text log and show it in every kind od dashboard (scheduled o run time), Report or alert.

So, if you could share more details about your need, surely someone in the Community can help you.

In addition I hint to see the Splunk dashboard Examples App (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/) that gives you examples about dashboarding and to see in the Splunkbase (apps.splunk.com) if there's (probably yes) an app to ingest and show the logs from the technology you're using.

Ciao.

Hi Gcusello,

thanks for the input.

i have VM logs pushed to blob storage, from there splunk access the logs. these logs are pushed every 15mins to Splunk, there is no data/metrics to account for this. for example, if the VM is deleted( this is a problem), i am looking to have a real time query/dashboard that show me a summary of live VM`s, the last log that was push before the VM was destroyed as i believe the dashboard should provide me metrics so i can analyse further,. Again can this process be automated, rather than manually running this query to get the dashboard displayed.

Hi @mercy_esang,

as I said, the first try is search for an existing App for your technology, otherwise, you have to make all the steps I described and it's really difficoult to guide you.

Anyway, have you already ingested logs or have you to make also this step?

Could you share some sample of your logs highlighting the relevant information e.g. an error message or something that permits to identify a fault.

Ciao.
