    Hello LTFS, 

    Here is a document from our KC that should guide you on how to offload analytics!

    Hi Gabriel,

    As per documentation we have followed the steps but facing the some issue.

    Please find below details for the same.

    1 We have created analytics-extra-values.yaml file

    2 Within that file mention the below data

    spec:
      external:
        offload:
          enabled: true
          output: |
            elasticsearch {
              url => "https://x.x.x.x:443"
              index => apic
              ssl   => true
              cacert=> "/etc/pki/tls/elastic_ca.crt"
              
            }

    3 then we hit apicup subsys install command but unable to see offload option in API Manager

    Please guide us how we can enable the offload option in the API Manager

    There is no offload option in API Manager - I think you might be referring to something that is SaaS specific. Offload is configured at the operator level (using extra values file on VMware) like you have done, there is nothing visual in the UI to see.

    Please make sure you are referring to documentation for the form factor and version of APIC you are actually using to avoid confusion.

    You might also find the API event record field reference @ https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/api-connect/10.0.5.x_lts?topic=data-api-event-record-fields useful when configuring the indices in your ELK server.
