Quickfields logs ingestion with logstash, using Kibana for analysis

Has anyone used Logstash to pick up the Quickfields logs and any available WMI / perflogs information, for visual analysis with Kabana, to provide a Reporting analysis tool of the performance of the Quickfields sessions ?

We have a customer that is looking for an MI dashboard for reviewing the performance and throughput of their QF processes and sessions. While there are simple dashboards in the QF Agent ( Web Administration Console ) it would be good to analyse the Time To Run, Number of Pass / Fail, for all as well as each session, then to enable forecasting of processing load and execution.

Hello Chris,

I have not found any examples of Logstash being used with Quick Fields logs, but I do want to point out a couple of configuration options that may be helpful when processing this data.

1. The easiest way to access Quick Fields session analytics is by having them auto-saved into a reporting directory. This path can be set for each session by navigating to Tools > Options and choosing Current Session. Here, parameters such as session name and date can be used to create a dynamic file path.

2. The details complied in the output logs can be modified by navigating to Tools > Options and choosing Output Pane.

I hope this helps!
