Opensource origin: https://docs.openshift.org/latest/install_config/aggregate_logging.html#sending-logs-to-an-external-elasticsearch-instance Enterprise: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.7/install_config/aggregate_logging.html#sending-logs-to-an-external-elasticsearch-instance As in the doc described you can send the collected fluentd logs to a external es cluster. You can find the source of the openshift logging solution in this repo. https://github.com/openshift/origin-aggregated-logging > Looking forward to hearing from you, > > Thanks, Hth Aleks _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@lists.openshift.redhat.com http://lists.openshift.redhat.com/openshiftmm/listinfo/dev
