# WizTelemetry Logging

## Overview

WizTelemetry Logging is an extension component in the KubeSphere Observability Platform for log collection, processing, and storage.

## When to Use

- Installing or configuring the WizTelemetry Logging extension
- Understanding log collection architecture (container logs + disk log collection)
- Using the log query API to query logs

## Components

| Component | Description | Default Enabled |
|-----------|-------------|-----------------|
| vector-logging | Container log collection (collects stdout/stderr from Docker/Containerd) | true |
| logsidecar-injector | Disk log collection (collects logs from files inside containers) | false |

## Dependencies

- **WizTelemetry Platform Service** (whizard-telemetry): Required
- **WizTelemetry Data Pipeline** (vector): Required
- **OpenSearch** (opensearch): Required

## Installation

### Prerequisites

**REQUIRED: Complete all steps in order before generating InstallPlan.**

#### Step 1: Get Available Clusters and Confirm Target

**⚠️ CRITICAL: DO NOT proceed until target clusters are determined.**

**Step 1.1: Get available clusters**

```bash
kubectl get clusters -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}'
```

**Step 1.2: Determine target clusters**

- If user **explicitly specified** target clusters in the request → Use those clusters directly, proceed to Step 2
- If user **did NOT specify** target clusters → Ask user to confirm which clusters to deploy to, then proceed to Step 2

**Ask user (if not specified):**
```
Available clusters: host, dev
Which clusters do you want to deploy WizTelemetry Logging to?
```

#### Step 2: Get Latest Version (if not provided by user)

**MUST do this to get the latest version:**

```bash
kubectl get extensionversions -l kubesphere.io/extension-ref=whizard-logging -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.spec.version}{"\n"}{end}' | sort -V | tail -1
```

This outputs the latest version (e.g., `1.4.0`). Note this down - you'll use it in the InstallPlan.
