PubSub Beat Collection

This document explains how to initialize the PubSub Beat using cloud-to-cloud collection. This feature is available only to LRCloud customers.

Prerequisites

Before initializing the PubSub Beat collection from O365, do the following:

• Make sure that the customer is an LRCloud customer and has their environment hosted.

• Check if the Open Collector has been installed in the customer's LRCloud environment on a separate instance. If not, an Open Collector instance must be requested via a support case. 

• Ensure that the Open Collector log source has been accepted and configured for log source virtualization.

• To collect logs from any GCP service, enable the required services in the GCP portal and make sure that there is a topic and one subscription created to receive the logs.
