Requirement to export OIC logs passively to an external logging platform.

Priyanka rawatJul 18 2025 — edited Jul 18 2025

We are working on a big ERP transformation project and as part of that we need to export all logs to our Elastic Stack (Elastic Search, Logstash and Kibana). The idea is to capture the logs from to all the integration steps, filter them within OCI, redact the sensitive data and send that to elasticsearch in a passive way.

One of the approach we are exploring is this OIC Logs → Log4j Appender → Filebeat (Log4j Input Plugin) → Elasticsearch.

Related link regarding log4j and Filebeat configuration for reference https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/logstash/plugins/plugins-inputs-log4j

What we are attempting to achieve is a passive process by which logs in OIC are consolidated into our existing logging platform. Log4j is an example of a technology widely used in java based solutions (assuming OIC is java based), but we are interested in exploring any established process for doing this you would recommend. At the core, we are interested in making sure we can visualize our OIC logs alongside our other logs in a robust and durable way.
