Transmission test guide
To test Fluentd log transmission or to perform a log transmission load test, please follow the instructions below.
Test server¶
Log transmission tests and transmission load tests must only use the sandbox server. The production server cannot be used.
| Division | Location | Domain | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandbox | Asia | South Korea (Seoul) | sandbox-analytics-hivelog.withhive.com |
Notes on log transmission test¶
If you need log data and metrics stored on the log reception server, you must send the general tag as is and check the data and metrics in the Hive sandbox console.
| General tag | Load testing tag |
|---|---|
| ha2union.game.log_category_name | test.game.log_category_name |
Notes on load testing for log transmission¶
To conduct a load test without checking the log data stored on the log reception server or generating metrics, you must change to the load test tag. Tag changes are only made for load tests (when there is no need to check log data).
| General tag | Load testing tag |
|---|---|
| ha2union.game.log_category_name | test.game.log_category_name |
When changed to a tag for load testing, data will not accumulate in BigQuery or metrics. The server receiving the logs will receive the logs but will not store them.
Note
If you are only forwarding logs received from Fluentd to the Hive analytics server as they are, the method for changing the tag is different. In this case, since you cannot change the tag in the Fluentd configuration, you must change the tag using the rewrite_tag_filter plugin.
