Filebeat unable to send system error logs to elasticsearch. Below conf file of filebeat and eleasticsearch. Also let me know how to change default index pattern.
####### Filebeat Configuration Example #
This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/index.html
#=========================== Filebeat inputs =============================
filebeat.inputs:
Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so
you can use different inputs for various configurations.
Below are the input specific configurations.
-
type: log
Change to true to enable this input configuration.
enabled: false
Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.
paths:
#- /var/log/*.log- /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/HP2B/logs/server1/System*.log
#- c:\programdata\elasticsearch\logs*
Include lines. A list of regular expressions to match. It exports the lines that are
matching any regular expression from the list.
#include_lines: ['^ERR', '^WARN']
Exclude files. A list of regular expressions to match. Filebeat drops the files that
are matching any regular expression from the list. By default, no files are dropped.
#exclude_files: ['.gz$']
Optional additional fields. These fields can be freely picked
to add additional information to the crawled log files for filtering
#fields:
level: debug
review: 1
Multiline options
Multiline can be used for log messages spanning multiple lines. This is common
for Java Stack Traces or C-Line Continuation
The regexp Pattern that has to be matched. The example pattern matches all lines starting with [
#multiline.pattern: ^[
Defines if the pattern set under pattern should be negated or not. Default is false.
#multiline.negate: false
Match can be set to "after" or "before". It is used to define if lines should be append to a pattern
that was (not) matched before or after or as long as a pattern is not matched based on negate.
Note: After is the equivalent to previous and before is the equivalent to to next in Logstash
#multiline.match: after
- /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/HP2B/logs/server1/System*.log
#============================= Filebeat modules ===============================
filebeat.config.modules:
Glob pattern for configuration loading
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: false
Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
#reload.period: 10s
#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
#index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
#================================ General =====================================
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.
#name:
The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each
transaction published.
#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]
Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the
output.
#fields:
env: staging
#============================== Dashboards =====================================
These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading
the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the
options here or by using the setup command.
#setup.dashboards.enabled: false
The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL
has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released
versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the artifacts.elastic.co
website.
#setup.dashboards.url:
#============================== Kibana =====================================
Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.
This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.
setup.kibana:
Kibana Host
Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)
In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: http://localhost:5601/path
IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601
host: "localhost:5601"
Kibana Space ID
ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded. By default,
the Default Space will be used.
#space.id:
#================================ Outputs =====================================
Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.
#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.
#protocol: "https"
#username: "elastic"
#password: "changeme"
======================== Elasticsearchs Configuration =========================
NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html
---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#cluster.name: my-application
------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
Use a descriptive name for the node:
#node.name: node-1
Add custom attributes to the node:
#node.attr.rack: r1
----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
Path to log files:
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
Lock the memory on startup:
#bootstrap.memory_lock: true
Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
limit.
Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#network.host: 192.168.0.1
network.host: localhost
Set a custom port for HTTP:
http.port: 9200
