Hello, Kind of new to all this so hang in there. ELK running on Centos 7 Winlogbeat sending logs from several windows servers to ELK When I try to index logstash (rsyslog), I dont see any data. **here is the input:** input { beats { port =\> 5044 } udp { host =\> "192.168.232.215" port =\> 10514 codec =\> "json" type =\> "rsyslog" } } **Here is the output:** output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] sniffing =\> true manage\_template =\> false index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" document\_type =\> "%{[@metadata][type]}" } if [type] == "rsyslog" { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] } } } I can see winlogbeat data in kibana UNTIL I add the UDP section to the inputs and add the IF [TYPE]==rsyslog to the outputs. The rsyslog stuff is shipped to the ELK which runs rsyslog. I have verified that the ASA Firewall logs are getting to the ELK stack. If I look at indices I see: [root@brt1-log01 rsyslog.d]# curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/\_cat/indices](http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices) yellow open winlogbeat-2017.01.17 5 1 111149 0 136.9mb 136.9mb yellow open winlogbeat-2017.01.18 5 1 341404 0 386.2mb 386.2mb yellow open .kibana 1 1 104 1 104.7kb 104.7kb yellow open %{[@metadata][beat]}-2017.01.18 5 1 19877 0 3.9mb 3.9mb yellow open logstash-2017.01.18 5 1 0 0 737b 737b The last entry is the rsyslog stuff, I assume. That last 2 numbers are incrementing. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! -Mike M ---

MIke, Your input config doesn't need the host line, that is to define what IP that Logstash is listening on. If you have multiple NICs, then you might need it, but I doubt it. To see if the syslog messages are really arriving, do a: > tcpdump -n -A src x.x.x.x That will show the ASCII text of the syslog messages. ---

If I tail the rsyslog log file I can see entries coming from the ASA firewall. I cant seem to see them in elastic search or kibana. ---

Mike, Can you sanitize a copy of a tcpdump log or two and post it here? Also, what does your ASA logging config section look like? ---

Hi, If I can see the entries from the ASA in /var/log/remote-hosts can I not be convinced that the logs are getting there? i think I need to: 1. Verify logstash is getting them 2. Verify that they are then getting to elasticsearch Correct? If so, How do I do that? Thanks for the help so far -Mike M ---

Using kibana sense, I can see this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/9/946f780c3f7c4abba4f4b0bb7492908512368809.png) ---

Think I am making some progress, at least on troubleshooting front; Here is the input: > [@mmethe](#): > > input { beats { port =\> 5044 } udp { host =\> "192.168.232.215" port =\> 10514 codec =\> "json" type =\> "rsyslog" }} When I start logstash as a foreground process using: /opt/logstash/bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/02-beats-input.conf --verbose I get: Beats inputs: Starting input listener {:address=\>"0.0.0.0:5044", :level=\>:info} Starting pipeline {:id=\>"base", :pipeline\_workers=\>2, :batch\_size=\>125, :batch\_delay=\>5, :max\_inflight=\>250, :level=\>:info} Pipeline started {:level=\>:info} Logstash startup completed Starting UDP listener {:address=\>"0.0.0.0:10514", :level=\>:info} **So, it appears that the UDP pipeline on 10514 never starts. How can figure out why? netstat shows that as:** netstat -na | grep 10514 udp 0 0 192.168.232.215:10514 0.0.0.0:\* Does the above info get anyone closer to figuring out why this is not working? Thanks! -Mike M ---

Further... --debug shows the rsyslog data when I run logstash --debug output received {:event=\>{"@timestamp"=\>"2017-01-20T13:40:09.000Z", "@version"=\>"1", "message"=\>" Deny udp src inside:10.0.0.122/55645 dst backup:172.217.6.238/443 by access-group "acl\_in" [0x0, 0x0]", "sysloghost"=\>"[is1-asa1.retreathealthcare.org](http://is1-asa1.retreathealthcare.org)", "severity"=\>"warning", "facility"=\>"local7", "programname"=\>"%ASA-4-106023", "procid"=\>"-", "type"=\>"rsyslog", "host"=\>"192.168.232.215"}, :level=\>:debug, :file=\>"(eval)", :line=\>"22", :method=\>"output\_func"} ---
