Log Service allows you to create an IP address-based machine group. This topic describes how to create an IP address-based machine group in the Log Service console.
Prerequisites
- A project and a Logstore are created. For more information, see Create a project and a Logstore.
- At least one server is available.
- If you use an ECS instance, you must ensure that the ECS instance and Log Service project share the same Alibaba Cloud account and belong to the same region.
- If the ECS instance is purchased by another Alibaba Cloud account, you must configure a user identifier before you create an IP address-based machine group. If the server is provided by another cloud service vendor or is deployed in a user-created data center, you must also perform the preceding operation. For more information, see Configure an account ID for a server.
- Logtail is installed on the server. For more information, see Install Logtail on ECS instances.
