Managing LogScale at Scale

Administration workflows for managed service providers and organizations running LogScale for multiple teams, customers, or tenants

🏢 Organization Structure
Understand and configure the LogScale organization model for multi-tenant deployments

Understand Organizations

Learn how organizations work as the top-level container in LogScale. Understand the ownership model, how organization settings govern all repositories and users beneath them, and how to design an organization structure that scales across multiple tenants.

Repositories and Views

Design repository and view structures that isolate tenant data while enabling cross-tenant visibility where needed. Understand when to use separate repositories versus views, and how view connections control what each tenant can see.

🔗 Multi-Cluster Search
Configure and manage federated search across multiple LogScale clusters

Multi-Cluster Search Overview

Understand how LogScale multi-cluster search federates queries across multiple independent clusters. Learn the architecture, use cases for MSPs managing separate customer clusters, and the prerequisites for setting it up.

Configure Multi-Cluster

Step-by-step instructions for setting up multi-cluster search: configure remote cluster connections, set up authentication between clusters, and create views that query across cluster boundaries.

Multi-Cluster Security

Secure inter-cluster communication and control which clusters can query each other. Configure TLS, token-based authentication between clusters, and access controls for federated views.

Advanced Multi-Cluster Topics

Feature flags, multi-version cluster compatibility, known limitations, and query identity propagation across clusters. Reference material for production multi-cluster deployments.

👥 User and Access Management at Scale
Provision users, manage groups across tenants, and apply consistent access policies

Multi-Tenant Permission Design

Apply RBAC principles to multi-tenant scenarios: isolate tenant access with repository-scoped permissions, use group-based assignment to manage access at scale, and establish role naming conventions that work across many tenants.

Managing Groups Across Tenants

Create and manage groups for tenant teams. Configure default roles, query prefix filters to automatically restrict tenant data access, and repository exceptions for tenants that need different permissions in specific repositories.

User Provisioning

Configure how users are created across tenants: manual provisioning, auto-provisioning on first SSO login, and SCIM-based provisioning from your identity provider. Automate onboarding for new tenant users.

Group Synchronization

Automate tenant group membership based on identity provider groups. Configure one-to-many group mapping strategies so that users are automatically placed in the correct tenant groups when they authenticate via SAML or LDAP.

🔐 Tenant Isolation and Security
Enforce boundaries between tenants with IP filters, security policies, and audit logging

IP Filters

Restrict platform access by IP address or CIDR range. Apply IP filters at the organization level to enforce network-level tenant isolation and prevent unauthorized access from outside expected network boundaries.

Security Policies

Configure organization-wide policies that govern what automated actions and API tokens can do. Use security policies to enforce consistent security standards across all tenants in your organization.

Audit Logging

Track all user activity, permission changes, and administrative actions across tenants in the humio-audit repository. Use audit logs to detect cross-tenant access anomalies and generate compliance evidence for each customer.

📊 Usage and Capacity
Monitor ingest volumes, track per-tenant usage, and manage data retention at scale

License and Usage Monitoring

Track ingest volumes and storage usage across all repositories. Understand what counts toward your license limits, monitor per-tenant consumption, and identify repositories that are approaching retention or capacity limits.

Data Retention Policies

Configure per-repository retention policies to meet each tenant's data retention requirements. Set ingest and storage limits independently so that high-volume tenants do not affect others, and align retention periods with contractual or regulatory obligations.

🧭 Guided Workflows
Step-by-step learning paths for identity management, RBAC, and workspace structure

Organization and Workspace Structure

Structured learning paths for designing and building your repository and view hierarchy. Covers the concepts behind multi-tenant organization design and walks through creating repositories, connecting views, and applying permissions.

Identity and Access Management

Phased learning path for setting up authentication, configuring RBAC components, and applying access controls to repositories and views. Includes identity provider setup and group synchronization for automated tenant onboarding.
