Configuring Execution Logging – Elasticsearch

For larger distributed server solutions, we recommend using Elasticsearch.

Firstly you will need to Create an Elasticsearch Data Source.

To configure Execution Logging to use an Elasticsearch Data Source:

1. Click the Settings icon
   
2. Select Logging from the sub menu in the centre of the Settings Tab that opens.
   This will open the Logging settings.
3. Click on the Logging Data Source dropdown and click on the Elasticsearch Data Source created previously.
   
4. The Folder Path is now removed as seen below.
   You will see a checkbox for Encrypt. It defaults to checked. This will encrypt the data source payload in the auditing settings file. If unchecked this will not be encrypted.
5. Click Save. There will a Pop-Up warning that for the changes to take effect, the Warewolf Logger will need to be restarted.
6. Click Yes.
7. Restart the Warewolf Logger.
   This can be done by opening the Task Manager and clicking on the Details tab.
   Find the WarewolfLogger.exe.
   Right click and then click End Task.
   Within a few seconds you will see the WarewolfLogger.exe restart.
