Which two Red Hat OpenShift Operators should be installed to enable OpenShift Logging?

In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, which runs on Red Hat OpenShift, logging is a critical component for monitoring cluster and application activities. To enable OpenShift Logging, two key operators must be installed:

OpenShift Logging Operator (B)

This operator is responsible for managing the logging stack in OpenShift.

It helps configure and deploy logging components like Fluentd, Kibana, and Elasticsearch within the OpenShift cluster.

It provides a unified way to collect and visualize logs across different workloads.

OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator (E)

This operator manages the Elasticsearch cluster, which is the central data store for log aggregation in OpenShift.

Elasticsearch stores logs collected from cluster nodes and applications, making them searchable and analyzable via Kibana.

Without this operator, OpenShift Logging cannot function, as it depends on Elasticsearch for log storage.

A. OpenShift Console Operator → Incorrect

The OpenShift Console Operator manages the web UI of OpenShift but has no role in logging.

It does not collect, store, or manage logs.

C. OpenShift Log Collector → Incorrect

There is no official OpenShift component or operator named "OpenShift Log Collector."

Log collection is handled by Fluentd, which is managed by the OpenShift Logging Operator.

D. OpenShift Centralized Logging Operator → Incorrect

This is not a valid OpenShift operator.

The correct operator for centralized logging is OpenShift Logging Operator.
