Simple Log Service:Replicate data from a Logstore

Last Updated:Mar 27, 2024

Simple Log Service allows you to replicate data from a source Logstore to a destination Logstore. To replicate the data, you can create a data transformation rule for the source Logstore. This topic describes how to replicate data from a source Logstore to a destination Logstore in a typical scenario.

Scenario

In this example, the access logs of a company are collected and stored in multiple projects of an Alibaba Cloud account. The company wants to replicate the access logs from the logstore-a Logstore of the project-a project to the logstore-b Logstore of the project-b project. Then, the company can query and analyze the data in the project-b project in a centralized manner. To replicate data from the logstore-a Logstore to the logstore-b Logstore, the company can use the replication feature in Simple Log Service. copyTo use the replication feature, you must make sure that the following requirements are met:

  • A Logstore named logstore-a is created and data is written to the Logstore.

  • The performance of the logstore-b Logstore is evaluated, for example, the number of shards. For more information, see Performance guide.

  • A Logstore named logstore-b is created. For more information, see Manage a Logstore.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Simple Log Service console.

  2. In the Projects section, click the project-a project.

  3. On the Log Storage > Logstores tab, click the logstore-a Logstore.

  4. On the Search & Analysis page, click Data Transformation in the upper-right corner to enable the data transformation mode.

  5. On the page that appears, click Save as Transformation Rule.

  6. In the Create Data Transformation Rule panel, set the required parameters. The following table describes the parameters.

    Parameter

    Description

    Rule Name

    The default role is used as an example. Select Default Role.

    Time Range

    The time when the logs are received. The All value indicates that the data in the source Logstore is transformed from the first log entry until the transformation task is manually stopped. Select All.

    For information about other parameters, see Create a data transformation job.

  7. Click OK.

Result

In the Projects section, click the project-b project. On the Log Storage > Logstores tab, select the logstore-b Logstore. You can view the data that is replicated from the logstore-a Logstore. result
