Logserver API

api_login

Hi, we have deployed Energy Logserver internally. Host is in format: https://example.com. How can I export application logs using API? I read in documentation that first I need to authorize using curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/_logserver/login -H 'Content-type: application/json' -d ' { "username": "$USER", "password": "$PASSWORD" }'
But when I replace localhost with host I receive 404. What's wrong?

Hi,

Question is - does the export has to be done through API? UI has it's module called Reports and you can easily create task (also scheduled) for exporting data.

I think about API because I want to export data and transform. I want to automate this process

api_login

I also wanto to export dashboard

I see. Well, in that case you can of course do it through API, but maybe Logstash service is better for exporting and transforming the data?
I'm not trying to steer you away from your idea, what I'm saying is that ELS has it's tools which can do it more efficiently and easily.

That being said, if you'll still want to go with your approach try using search query.

curl -k -u admin:password -XGET "http://localhost:9200/some-index-name/_search?pretty"
