Log Security

The Logging Service is a versatile and accessible platform that allows you to conveniently store and manage logs from various sources. This platform offers a seamless log aggregation solution for logs generated within the IONOS CLOUD infrastructure, by your bare metal system, or another cloud environment. With its flexibility, you can effortlessly push logs from anywhere, ensuring comprehensive log monitoring and analysis.

The following two encryption mechanisms safeguard all HTTP or TCP communications that push logs:

• Transport Layer Security (TLS)
• KEY

  • If using HTTP, then the APIKEY must be specified in the header.
  • If using TCP, specify the Shared_Key.

The key brings an extra layer of security with which you can revoke or regenerate the existing key.

TCP

When using TCP or TLS, set tls to on and provide a Shared_Key in the Fluent Bit configuration. The key can be obtained through the REST API. For more information, see Obtain a new Key.
