Ter Woord - Logging Analytics

ElasticSearch-based sink for Microsoft Application Insights.

Usage

For now, you have to build the .NET Core project. Next thing you do, is add the following contents to the appsettings.json file:

    "ElasticSearchUrls": ["http://<address of elasticsearch node 1>:9200/"],
    "OutputIndexNameFormat": "twla-{tenant-id}-{datetime}-{message-type}", /* The format of indexes to use in elasticsearch */
    "OutputIndexNameDateFormat": "yyyy-MM", 
    "TenantListIndexName": "twla-config"  /* the elasticsearch index to use to store the tenants */

Multiple node addresses can be specified.

Now you can start the server process. This will start listening on all IP addresses at port 5000.

Now you need to add known instrumentation keys. Do so by POSTing the following json document to http://twla:5000/ where twla is the address of the machine:

{
	"identifier": "<instrumentation key>",
	"name": "<descriptive name>"
}

The identifier is the exact instrumentation key to use in the Client SDK configuration. The name is a descriptive name, which is not yet used anywhere.

Now you have to restart the service, to make the changes effect. (This is a known limitation, to be resolved at some point. See #1)

Now the service is usable, and is able to process Application Insight data.
