Transferring Logs to DMS¶
You can use DMS APIs to retrieve logs in real time.
Prerequisites¶
Logs have been ingested to LTS.
Before registering a DMS Kafka instance, configure an inbound rule to allow access from 198.19.128.0/17 over port 9011.
Procedure¶
Log in to the LTS console and choose Log Transfer in the navigation pane on the left.
Click Create Log Transfer in the upper right corner.
On the displayed page, configure the log transfer parameters.
Note
After a transfer task is created, you can modify parameters except the log group name and transfer mode.

Filter by Tag Fields
During transfer, logs will be filtered by tag fields collected by ICAgent.
Disabled: Logs will not be filtered by tag fields.
Enabled: Default tag fields include those for hosts (hostIP, hostId, hostName, pathFile, and collectTime) and for Kubernetes (clusterName, clusterId, nameSpace, podName, and appName). Optional common tag fields are regionName and projectId.
Enabled
Click OK. When the log transfer status changes to Normal, the transfer task has been created. If you transfer logs of another account, the log group and stream belong to the delegator. When you click the name of the delegator's log group or stream on the Log Transfer page, you will be directed to the log group or stream through the agency.
Click the Kafka premium instance in the Transfer Destination column to access its basic information page.
