Functions
-
Collection and Transfer
You can use ICAgent, SDKs or APIs to collect logs from different sources, such as hosts, hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments, and HUAWEI CLOUD services including ELB, VPC, APIG, CTS, WAF, DevCloud, and AOM. Logs can be transferred to OBS or DMS for Kafka for long-term storage.
-
Search and View
Exact or fuzzy searches with one or more keywords are supported. You can view logs in real time as they come in, and check the context of log events, which is very helpful when troubleshooting.
-
Analysis and Alarms
LTS provides different methods and templates for you to structure logs, so you can query logs using standard SQL syntax. You can gain intuitive insights by visualizing log data in charts or dashboards. To keep track of system performance, you can set alarms on important metrics.
-
LogReduce
LogReduce can recognize patterns in log data and group similar logs accordingly. Log grouping and intelligent alarm analysis help you analyze logs more efficiently (coming soon).

O&M Log Management
LTS gives you centralized log management. You can collect application and middleware logs from all your VMs and manage them all in one place.
Advantages
You can manage logs throughout their lifecycle, from collection, search and analysis, to aging and archive.
Up to 200 terabytes of logs can be ingested per day, and log search is fast. You can get responses in seconds even when there are gigabytes of logs involved.
Pay-per-use billing allows you to adapt to changing demands without overcommitting budgets.
Statistical Analysis
Logs are printed in a fixed format, so it is easy to turn them into structured data by parsing them into field-value pairs. You can then run SQL queries to quickly obtain statistical analysis.
Advantages
Choose the method that suits your needs. Field-value pairs can be extracted intelligently from JSON-formatted logs. Templates are available for structuring logs from HUAWEI CLOUD services, such as ELB, VPC, and CTS. You can also use delimiters or regular expressions to extract field-value pairs flexibly.
LTS SQL is compatible with standard SQL queries, so if you are already familiar with standard SQL, you can get started with LTS with no learning curve involved.
Data can be visualized in full-screen dashboards or using various charts (line, bar, and pie charts).
Auditing and Monitoring
LTS enables you to collect all sorts of logs for audit or compliance. Logs can be retained for 30 days in LTS, or you can use OBS to store them for however long you need.
Advantages
Dozens of kinds of HUAWEI CLOUD logs can be collected, including network, security, and audit.
Logs can be structured so you can query logs in LTS the same way as in databases. For permanent storage, you can transfer logs to OBS.
Get notified when the occurrence of specified keywords exceeds a certain threshold. This helps you detect any exceptions in a timely manner.
