# Validating the cluster logging deployment

To verify the cluster logging deployment, in the web console:

• Switch to the Workloads -> Pods page
• Select the openshift-logging project

You should see several pods for cluster logging, Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and Kibana similar to the following list:

cluster-logging-operator-cb795f8dc-xkckc
elasticsearch-cdm-b3nqzchd-1-5c6797-67kfz
elasticsearch-cdm-b3nqzchd-2-6657f4-wtprv
elasticsearch-cdm-b3nqzchd-3-588c65-clg7g
fluentd-2c7dg
fluentd-9z7kk
fluentd-br7r2
fluentd-fn2sb
fluentd-pb2f8
fluentd-zqgqx
kibana-7fb4fd4cc9-bvt4p
kibana-7fb4fd4cc9-st4cs

Alternatively, you can use the oc client instead:

# oc get pod -n openshift-logging

# Access the Kibana Dashboard

Once the Cluster Logging instance has deployed successfully a new entry called Logging will appear under the Monitoring tab of the OpenShift Container Platform dashboard. Selecting the Logging entry will launch the Kibana Dashboard in a separate browser tab.

The Kibana dashboard can also be accessed directly at:

https://kibana-openshift-logging.apps.<<cluster_name>>.<<domain_name>>

where <<cluster_name>> and <<domain_name>> match the cluster_name and domain_name variables configured in the group_vars/all/vars.yml file.
