AAKE v26: Configuring Containerized Agent Logging to STDOUT (Console)

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

By default, AAKE logs are written to the component's temporary directory. Even when log: console is configured in the values.yaml, logs may not appear in STDOUT for specific containerized agents or integrations.

Environment

Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition 26.0.0

Resolution

To enable logging to STDOUT for containerized agents, you must enable the logging sidecar in your values.yaml:

1. Locate the agent configuration in your values.yaml.

2. Add/set the following parameter:

# logging configuration: the logs and job reports will be
written to a file in the defined pvc.
zlogging:
  sidecar:
    enabled: true
  pvc:
agent-unix-temp-pvc

3. Apply the changes to your Kubernetes deployment.
