Region issue for IBM Cloud Activity Tracker with LogDNA

Question

We have different resource group A resource in Tokyo B resource in Tokyo too

we need create one IBM Cloud Activity Tracker with LogDNA for A resource and another one IBM Cloud Activity Tracker with LogDNA for B resource

Can i put IBM Cloud Activity Tracker for A resource in Tokyo and IBM Cloud Activity Tracker for A resource in Dallas？

Because in your guide https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Activity-Tracker-with-LogDNA?topic=Activity-Tracker-with-LogDNA-launch there is important notice "There is 1 instance per region."

Could you help to confirm this case?

Answer 1

Events are logged in the region where they are generated. Also note that all global events are sent to LogDNA in Frankfurt (Europe).

When working with the logged events, you can distinguish between the services based on the records and their data fields. You could create custom views to separate those events.

Answer 2

You need to effectively name your environments and work with Event fields and Event types

A basic convention could use a pattern of “department_instance_level.” Instead of “Error Logs” and “Info Logs,” they would be named “dev_app1_info,” “qa_app2_error,” and so on. Not only does this clearly define the contents of each view, but since LogDNA sorts views alphabetically, each view is naturally grouped with similar views. This makes it easy to scan for specific views and search for those containing specific keywords. In this screenshot, searching for “prod” narrows the list to views containing production environment logs.
