Note

This data connector depends on a parser based on a Kusto Function to work as expected which is deployed as part of the solution. To view the function code in Log Analytics, open Log Analytics/Microsoft Sentinel Logs blade, click Functions and search for the alias ApacheHTTPServer and load the function code or click here. The function usually takes 10-15 minutes to activate after solution installation/update.

  1. Install and onboard the agent for Linux or Windows

Install the agent on the Apache HTTP Server where the logs are generated.

Logs from Apache HTTP Server deployed on Linux or Windows servers are collected by Linux or Windows agents.
