Vector configuration for ICE Server
After configuration of the ICE Server, use the following instructions to configure Vector to receive and move the logs to a repository.
To configure Vector for ICE Server
1. Add a section in /etc/vector/vector.toml:
#
# In this example, we are collecting all kubernetes logs
# from ICE OS VM 192.168.0.198
#
# "sources.K8S_CLUSTER" : User-friendly name of ICE Server
#
# "sinks.DATA_SOURCE_NAME" : User-friendly name of data source output
# "inputs" : It should point to "sources.K8S_CLUSTER"
# "path" : Location of sink's output file
 
[sources.ice_192_168_0_198_vector]
type = "vector"
address = "0.0.0.0:9000"
 
[sinks.ice_192_168_0_198_vector_out]
type = "file"
inputs = ["ice_192_168_0_198_vector"]
path = "/var/log/vector/k8s/ice_192_168_0_198.log"
encoding.codec = "raw_message"
2. For TLS support, add the following in the source section:
tls.enabled = true
tls.ca_file = "/etc/vector/tls/tls.vector.ca_file"
tls.crt_file = "/etc/vector/tls/tls.vector.crt_file"
tls.key_file = "/etc/vector/tls/tls.vector.key_file"
A. tls.ca_file should point to a .PEM file containing the root certificate and the intermediate certificate, if applicable.
B. tls.crt_file should point to a .PEM file containing the Vector server certificate.
C. tls.key_file should point to a private key file corresponding to tls.crt_file.
3. Start/restart Vector:
sudo systemctl restart vector
You should see ICE Server logs streaming to: /var/log/vector/k8s/ice_192_168_0_198.log
