Cluster-logging-operator with external elasticsearch not working

[PCDiver]

Hi all,
I followed the documentation to install the cluster-logging-operator (https://docs.okd.io/latest/logging/cluster-logging-external.html). The goal is to only forward application logs to an external ElasticSearch cluster via the clusterLogForwarder.

The cluster-logging-operator keeps on logging the following event: _message":"Unable to generate log configuration","_error":{"msg":"No recognized input types: []"}}

My configuration for the logging operator:

apiVersion: "logging.openshift.io/v1"
kind: "ClusterLogging"
metadata:
name: "instance"
namespace: "openshift-logging"
spec:
managementState: "Managed"
collection:
logs:
type: "fluentd"
fluentd: {}

My configuration for the ClusterLogForwarder:

apiVersion: "logging.openshift.io/v1"
kind: ClusterLogForwarder
metadata:
name: instance
namespace: openshift-logging
spec:
outputs:

• name: elasticsearch-secure
  type: "elasticsearch"
  url: https://xxxxxxxxx:9200
  secret:
  name: elasticsearch
  pipelines:
• name: application-logs
  inputRefs:
  • application
    outputRefs:
  • elasticsearch-secure

All help really appreciated.

Peter
