+
+Today’s IT organizations using Kong Gateway often struggle to gain comprehensive visibility into their API performance, health, and security which can lead to unexpected issues, downtime, and security vulnerabilities.
+
+New Relic's integration with Kong Gateway, using the File Log plugin, provides a robust solution for:
+
+- **Centralized logging**: Kong Gateway logs are instantly contextualized with other application and telemetry data for a unified view.
+- **Enhanced visibility**: Gain deeper insights into API gateway performance, health, and security.
+- **Proactive issue detection**: Identify and address potential problems before they impact users.
+- **Improved security**: Monitor for security threats and anomalies.
+- **Optimized performance**: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks before they impact uyser experience.

+## Forward Kong Gateway logs
+
+The File Log plugin for Kong Gateway enables the forwarding of logs to New Relic by directing them to standard output (`/dev/stdout`). This setup allows New Relic’s Kubernetes logging plugin integration to collect and forward the logs.
+
+## Configuration setup
+
+Follow these steps:
+
+**Step 1: Install the New Relic Kubernetes logging integration**
+
+  Before configuring the File Log plugin, ensure you have the New Relic Kubernetes logging integration installed. Follow the [instructions](https:/docs.newrelic.com/docs/logs/forward-logs/kubernetes-plugin-log-forwarding/) to set this up.
+
+**Step 2: Install and configure Kong File Log plugin**
+
+Once the New Relic Logging Integration is installed, configure the File Log to output logs to `/dev/stdout` . See an example of the manifest configuration file in the [Configure the File Log plugin](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/logs/forward-logs/kong-gateway/#install-config-filelog) section.
+
+**Step 3: Apply the Log File Log plugin configuration**
+
+   * Deploy the File Log plugin configuration to your Kubernetes cluster using the following command:
+
+        ```bash
+        kubectl apply -f file-log-plugin.yaml -n kong
+        ```
+
+   * Replace `file-log-plugin.yaml` with the actual filename of your manifest.
+
+**Step 4: Verify the configuration**
+
+  After applying the configuration, verify that logs are being forwarded to New Relic by checking the [New Relic Logs UI](https://one.newrelic.com/launcher/logger.log-launcher) for entries from Kong Gateway.
+
+  By forwarding Kong Gateway logs to New Relic, organizations can effectively monitor and manage their API gateways, ensuring optimal performance and security.
