3. Go to Admin > AppLogs > Log Profile and select Add Log Profile.
4. Enter the Profile Name.
5. Select Puppet server logs from the Choose the Log Type dropdown.
- The Sample Logs and Log Pattern are displayed below.
Sample Logs:

These logs are separated into fields, each of which takes its respective value and is then uploaded to Site24x7.
- By default, this is the Log Pattern identified by AppLogs for Puppet server logs:
$Datetime:date$ $LogLevel$ [ $ThreadName$ ] [ $SubSystem$ ] $Message$
- You can add a custom Log Pattern instead of the default one. To do so, click the pencil icon and specify your pattern.
6. Select the Local File as the Log Source.
7. By default, the path below is used as the file source:
Linux: "/var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.log"
- If your source path is different from the default path, specify in the list of files to search for logs field.
8. Select either monitors or monitor groups to collect the logs.
9. Click Save.

AppLogs creates an exclusive dashboard for every log type and shows a few widgets by default. Here's a list of the widgets available on the Puppet server logs dashboard:
