The LMA collector can forward part or all of the processed Heka messages to any kind of external system, provided that the system supports a protocol-based interface such as HTTP, SMTP or AMQP.
The supported backends are described hereunder.
The LMA collector is able to send logs and notifications to Elasticsearch.
There is one index per day and per type of message:
- Index for log messages is
log-<YYYY-MM-DD>. - Index for notification messages is
notification-<YYYY-MM-DD>.
The LMA collector is able to send metrics to InfluxDB.
Metrics are stored in individual series per metric name and hostname. The name of the serie is encoded as <Fields[hostname]>.<Fields[name]>.
