The Health Log Analytics guided setup provides a sequence of tasks to help you create data inputs on your ServiceNow instance. Data input configuration is an essential step in setting up the Health Log Analytics application. Using guided setup ensures that you have the minimum required setup for the data input process.

## Before you begin

Important:  
Health Log Analytics does not support IPv6. To work with the application, configure the MID Server to IPv4.  
* Verify that a MID Server is installed and configured with the Log Ingestion capability enabled. For more information, see [MID Server system requirements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_MIDServerSystemRequirements&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US).

  Important:  
  Health Log Analytics does not support IPv6. To work with the application, configure the MID Server to IPv4.
* Unless the MID Server and external clients are on the same network, the MID Server must have a public IP address. This is required when its IP is exposed through network address translation (NAT), a load balancer, or a similar device. The public IP address enables external clients, such as Filebeat agents located outside its network, to reach the MID Server. Private IP addresses are not routable over the internet. Without a public IP, external clients cannot connect to the MID Server even if they are configured with its address. In the MID Server properties, add a property named mid.public_ip with the public IP address as the value. For more information, see [Create a MID Server property](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_MIDServerProperties&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-servicenow-platform&section=t_SetMIDServerProperties&ft:locale=en-US). If the MID Server and external clients are on the same network, connections can be made using the private IP address.
* For shipping your logs encrypted using SSL TLS, see the [Streaming Data With Rsyslog \& Filebeat Using SSL \[KB0866319\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0866319) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

* For MID Server proxy requirements, see [MID Server proxy preconditions for streaming logs to HLA](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rJ75wl1dolIJZ~s7mqmqJA "Requirements for using a MID Server proxy to stream log data to Health Log Analytics.").

## About this task

For information about using the guided setup interface, see [Using guided setup](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=guided-setup&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllGuided SetupITOM Guided SetupHealth Log Analytics.
2. Follow the instructions to select and set up a data input.

## What to do next

Once you've created the data input connector, proceed to [map your raw log data](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ENjBmAW1AM2qvvmJSA_YiQ "Mapping raw log data that streams into your instance determines how the data is handled. Health Log Analytics automatically structures logs, creates metrics for anomaly detection, and presents alerts based on how your data is tagged.").
