When i installed filebeat on client server, when i check the status i am getting this error, hi any one please let me know about this error, Thank you

Could you provide or check the filebeat log file (probably /var/log/filebeat/*)?

If you can't find it or is it empty, another useful check would be to run /usr/bin/filebeat -c /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml and check any message it displays.

Regards

Thanks for your replay, when i fired this command i got this error and can you please check once

There are two errors on your config file:

  1.   Line 51:
    document_type: syslog

There is a leading space here. Please remove it.

  1. Line 116:
    hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

You have a host config for elasticsearch output, while elasticsearch is being commented out, and logstash enabled. I think you should comment out that line

Removing that leading space, and commenting out the hosts on ES output section, does work for me on my test env.

  #tail_files: false

  # Backoff values define how agressively filebeat crawls new files for updates
  # The default values can be used in most cases. Backoff defines how long it is waited
  # to check a file again after EOF is reached. Default is 1s which means the file
  # is checked every second if new lines were added. This leads to a near real time crawling.
  # Every time a new line appears, backoff is reset to the initial value.
  #backoff: 1s

  # Max backoff defines what the maximum backoff time is. After having backed off multiple times
  # from checking the files, the waiting time will never exceed max_backoff idenependent of the
  # backoff factor. Having it set to 10s means in the worst case a new line can be added to a log
  # file after having backed off multiple times, it takes a maximum of 10s to read the new line
  #max_backoff: 10s

  # The backoff factor defines how fast the algorithm backs off. The bigger the backoff factor,

  #backoff_factor: 2

  # This option closes a file, as soon as the file name changes.
  # This config option is recommended on windows only. Filebeat keeps the files it's reading open. This can cause
  # issues when the file is removed, as the file will not be fully removed until also Filebeat closes
  # the reading. Filebeat closes the file handler after ignore_older. During this time no new file with the
  # same name can be created. Turning this feature on the other hand can lead to loss of data
  # on rotate files. It can happen that after file rotation the beginning of the new
  # file is skipped, as the reading starts at the end. We recommend to leave this option on false
  # but lower the ignore_older value to release files faster.
  #force_close_files: false

# Additional prospector
#-
  # Configuration to use stdin input
  #input_type: stdin

General filebeat configuration options

Event count spool threshold - forces network flush if exceeded

#spool_size: 2048

Enable async publisher pipeline in filebeat (Experimental!)

#publish_async: false

Defines how often the spooler is flushed. After idle_timeout the spooler is

Flush even though spool_size is not reached.

#idle_timeout: 5s

Name of the registry file. Per default it is put in the current working

directory. In case the working directory is changed after when running

filebeat again, indexing starts from the beginning again.

registry_file: /var/lib/filebeat/registry

Full Path to directory with additional prospector configuration files. Each file must end with .yml

These config files must have the full filebeat config part inside, but only

the prospector part is processed. All global options like spool_size are ignored.

The config_dir MUST point to a different directory then where the main filebeat config file is in.

############################# Shipper #########################################

shipper:

The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group

all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.

If this options is not defined, the hostname is used.

If this options is not defined, the hostname is used.

#name:

The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each

transaction published. Tags make it easy to group servers by different

logical properties.

#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]

Uncomment the following if you want to ignore transactions created

by the server on which the shipper is installed. This option is useful

to remove duplicates if shippers are installed on multiple servers.

#ignore_outgoing: true

How often (in seconds) shippers are publishing their IPs to the topology map.

The default is 10 seconds.

#refresh_topology_freq: 10

Expiration time (in seconds) of the IPs published by a shipper to the topology map.

All the IPs will be deleted afterwards. Note, that the value must be higher than

refresh_topology_freq. The default is 15 seconds.

#topology_expire: 15

Internal queue size for single events in processing pipeline

#queue_size: 1000

Configure local GeoIP database support.

If no paths are not configured geoip is disabled.

#geoip:
#paths:
# - "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat"
# - "/usr/local/var/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat"

############################# Logging #########################################

There are three options for the log ouput: syslog, file, stderr.

Under Windos systems, the log files are per default sent to the file output,

under all other system per default to syslog.

logging:

Send all logging output to syslog. On Windows default is false, otherwise

default is true.

#to_syslog: true

Write all logging output to files. Beats automatically rotate files if rotateeverybytes

limit is reached.

#to_files: false

To enable logging to files, to_files option has to be set to true

files:
# The directory where the log files will written to.
#path: /var/log/mybeat

# The name of the files where the logs are written to.
#name: mybeat
12

Configure log file size limit. If limit is reached, log file will be

# automatically rotated
rotateeverybytes: 10485760 # = 10MB

# Number of rotated log files to keep. Oldest files will be deleted first.
#keepfiles: 7

Enable debug output for selected components. To enable all selectors use ["*"]

Other available selectors are beat, publish, service

Multiple selectors can be chained.

#selectors: [ ]

Sets log level. The default log level is error.

Available log levels are: critical, error, warning, info, debug

#level: error

Hello:

It's a little bit difficult to read your config file as you have posted it, could you please upload it somewhere and post the link to it?. Additionally, could you please share the output when running:

/usr/bin/filebeat -c /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml

Regarding the errors when you enable systemctl for filebeat, they are not related to filebeat, but to some other service you have on your system (nagios, actually) You will need to review the systemctl config for nagios, but that's something out of the scope of this forum, I think. They should not be preventing systemctl for filebeat to work, though

Hello:
I'm afraid that you still have two leading spaces on line 74:

image.png730×72 5.81 KB

You should leave it like this:

image.png798×70 5.79 KB

Something similar happens with line 278:

which should remain as :

Please notice in all cases the alignment of the line with the previous one.
