Elasticsearch ingest pipelines not configured

A_B · March 24, 2020, 3:47pm

Hello all,

not entirely sure if this should be classified as Filebeat, Elasticsearch or Kibana but as I'm executing a Filebeat command, I will start here.

I'm trying to setup Elasticsearch ingest pipelines per this documentation

I have ran this

# /usr/share/filebeat/bin/filebeat -c /tmp/filebeat.yml setup --pipelines --modules nginx,haproxy
Loaded Ingest pipelines

As I usually ship logs via Logstash I created /tmp/filebeat.yml with a Elasticsearch output.

But when I check ingest pipelines in Kibana/Elasticsearch, I do not see any new pipelines

GET /_ingest/pipeline
apm-this
xpack-that

Should I see those pipelines? How can I confirm they are configured?

All tips and suggestions are welcome

Hi @A_B,

A few questions to get started:

What version of Filebeat are you using?
Could you please post the contents of /tmp/filebeat.yml here (with any sensitive information redacted)?
Could you re-run the Filebeat command with -d"*"? This will print out debug level logs. Could you please post them here (again, with any sensitive information redacted)?

Thanks,

Shaunak

Hi @shaunak,

Sure, no problem

All Elastic components are version 7.5.2

Content of /tmp/filebeat.yml

---
shutdown_timeout: '0'
name: my_host.example.com
tags: []
fields: {}
fields_under_root: false
filebeat:
  config.inputs:

here you go

So, some modules are missing?

Turns out this was the problem. Running Debian 10 with Elastic Debian repos (from Puppet module elastic_stack)

There was indeed no /usr/share/filebeat/bin/module. There was /usr/share/filebeat/module so I created a symbolic link and now I can setup the ingest pipelines in Elasticsearch.

/usr/share/filebeat/bin # ls -l
total 75112
drwxr-x--- 2 root root     4096 Mar 23 13:33 data
drwx------ 2 root root     4096 Mar 24 16:33 logs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75842832 Jan 15 11:14 filebeat
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  1057147 Jan 15 11:13 filebeat-god
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root        9 Mar 25 12:15 module -> ../module

Now I see

GET /_ingest/pipeline/filebeat-7.5.2-haproxy-log-pipeline
{
  "filebeat-7.5.2-haproxy-log-pipeline" : {
...
  }
}
