HTTP Server Source

Use Observability Pipelines’ HTTP/S Server source to pull logs from HTTP client requests. Select and set up this source when you set up a pipeline.

Prerequisites

To use Observability Pipelines’ HTTP/S Server source, you need the following information available:

  • The HTTP/S server address, such as 0.0.0.0:9997. The Observability Pipelines Worker listens to this socket address for your HTTP client logs.
  • The HTTP authentication password.

Set up the source in the pipeline UI

Select and set up this source when you set up a pipeline. The information below is for the source settings in the pipeline UI.

To configure your HTTP/S Server source, enter the following:

  1. Select your authorization strategy.
  2. Select the decoder you want to use on the HTTP messages. Your HTTP client logs must be in this format.
  3. Optionally, toggle the switch to enable TLS. If you enable TLS, the following certificate and key files are required:
    • Server Certificate Path: The path to the certificate file that has been signed by your Certificate Authority (CA) Root File in DER or PEM (X.509).
    • CA Certificate Path: The path to the certificate file that is your Certificate Authority (CA) Root File in DER or PEM (X.509).
    • Private Key Path: The path to the .key private key file that belongs to your Server Certificate Path in DER or PEM (PKCS #8) format.
