Connect to Sumo Logic

Updated 5 months ago by Michael Cretzman

The first step in using Sumo Logic with Harness is to set up a Sumo Logic Verification Provider in Harness.

A Harness Verification Provider is a connection to monitoring tools such as Sumo Logic. Once Harness is connected, you can use Harness 24/7 Service Guard and Deployment Verification with your Sumo Logic data and analysis.

The Sumo Logic API is available to Sumo Logic Enterprise Accounts only. For more information, see About the Search Job API from Sumo Logic.
