Falcon LogScale with Your Data

After starting your Falcon LogScale Cloud account and going through The Interactive Tutorial, you're ready to try Falcon LogScale with your data. The steps to doing that, as well as playing with the data, are as follows:

Configure Log Shippers. You'll have to prepare your server to send data to your Falcon LogScale instance. This step involves installing a utility on your server or using the Falcon Log Collector. It should be easy, though, since you can use an installation program like yum or apt-get. Mostly, you'll have to add some lines to a couple of configuration files — in particular Falcon LogScale Cloud's address and an authentication token.

Search a Repository. You'll do some simple searches in your Falcon LogScale instance.

Create a Widget. You'll see how to create your first widget.

Configure a Dashboard. In the last part of this introduction to Falcon LogScale, you'll assemble a simple dashboard to store some basic queries for monitoring your server. You'll learn how to configure and arrange a dashboard.
