=== Running {beatname_uc} on Cloud Foundry

You can use {beatname_uc} on Cloud Foundry to retrieve and ship logs.

ifeval::["{release-state}"=="unreleased"]

However, version {version} of {beatname_uc} has not yet been
released, no build is currently available for this version.

endif::[]


[float]
==== Cloud Foundry credentials

{beatname_uc} needs credentials created with UAA so it can connect to loggregator to receive the logs. The uaac
command will create the required credentials for connecting to loggregator.

["source", "sh"]
------------------------------------------------
uaac client add {beatname_lc} --name {beatname_lc} --secret changeme --authorized_grant_types client_credentials,refresh_token --authorities doppler.firehose,cloud_controller.admin_read_only
------------------------------------------------

[WARNING]
=======================================
*Use a unique secret:* The uaac command above is just an example and the secret should be changed and the
`{beatname_lc}.yml` should be updated with your choosen secret.
=======================================


[float]
==== Cloud Foundry deploy manifests

You deploy {beatname_uc} as an application with no route.

Cloud Foundry requires that 3 files exist inside of a directory to allow {beatname_uc} to be pushed. The commands
below provide the basic steps for getting it up and running.

["source", "sh", subs="attributes"]
------------------------------------------------
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/{beatname_lc}/{beatname_lc}-{version}-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzvf {beatname_lc}-{version}-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd {beatname_lc}-{version}-linux-x86_64
curl -L -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/beats/{branch}/deploy/cloudfoundry/{beatname_lc}/{beatname_lc}.yml
# Update api_address, client_id, client_secret in downloaded {beatname_lc}.
curl -L -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/beats/{branch}/deploy/cloudfoundry/{beatname_lc}/manifest.yml
------------------------------------------------


[float]
==== Deploy

To deploy {beatname_uc} to Cloud Foundry, run:

["source", "sh", subs="attributes"]
------------------------------------------------
cf push
------------------------------------------------

To check the status, run:

["source", "sh", subs="attributes"]
------------------------------------------------
$ cf apps
name requested state instances memory disk urls
filebeat started 1/1 256M 1G
------------------------------------------------

Log events should start flowing to Elasticsearch. The events are annotated with
metadata added by the <<add-cloudfoundry-metadata>> processor.


[WARNING]
=======================================
*Set shard_id to scale:* By default {beatname_uc} will generate a random `shard_id` when it starts. In the case that
{beatname_uc} needs to be scaled passed 1 instance, be sure to set a static `shard_id`. Not setting a static `shard_id`
will result in duplicate events being pushed to Elasticsearch.
