Logging

If you have installed SEAL Operator on a separate management server, you have to set the IP address of the management server for the logging:

1. On the SEAL Operator server, edit the following file:

   /opt/seal/etc/filebeat-operator.yml
   

2. In elasticsearch, replace localhost by the host name or IP address of the management server:

   output:
     elasticsearch:
       hosts:
       - http://<admin_server>:9200
   

3. Save the file.

4. Restart the Operator filebeat:

   sudo systemctl restart seal-operator-filebeat
