Filebeat container is starting listening UDP need to change to TCP

Filebeat Version : 6.5

We need to know how can configure the haproxy module for filebeat . Currently the filebeat container is starting listening UDP connections in localhost:9001, we need to know how change the protocol and the address throuth module configuration. The desired configuration should be {"protocol": "tcp"} and connection {"address": ":9001"}.

Below a trace for container start.

You can try to use the module input configuration to disable the udp input and enable tcp:

- module: haproxy
  log.enabled: true
  input:
    protocol.udp.enabled: false
    protocol.tcp.host: "localhost:9001"

With this configuration :

2018-11-19T12:31:31.412Z ERROR instance/beat.go:824 Exiting: Fileset haproxy/input is configured but doesn't exist

There is an error in the sample config. This should work:

- module: haproxy
  log:
    enabled: true
    input:
      protocol.udp.enabled: false
      protocol.tcp.host: "localhost:9001"

Thanks for you support, currently with the last format conf is working but :

  • We have set configure "option httplog" in haproxy's side but the events are being sent without any format. In metadata struct in pipeline field you can see filebeat-6.5.0-haproxy-log-pipeline, but no any format comes. The fileset is empty, only in message field have the access log.
  • Have filebeat haproxy's module any requirement about Haproxy's version?
