Logstash backfilling two type of logs, problem!

solved it ...

needed to use UNIX not UNIX_MS

the indexing looks a bit slow ...

still 4cpu 8gig of ram :\ ~ 2000log seconds... a bit low :\

Regarding indexing rate. I just did a perf test using Logstash to receive netflow data:

  • 1xCPU 6 physical cores or 12 logical cores, 16GB RAM.
  • The server is dedicated for netflow generator and Logstash only, ES is on another server.
  • 1Gbps network between 2 servers.
  • 20K flow/sec generated

Flows sent from Logstash/received by Elasticsearch

No filter at all: 15K flows/sec
GeoIP filter for 2 IP fields: 7K flows/sec
GeoIP filter + logstash-cidr-filter to tag network based on IP + some if statements: 2.5K flows/sec

I guess playing with Filter Worker may help https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/2.2/breaking-changes.html#_filter_worker_default_change

I have geofilter on two field
and its a VM on ESX server the ressources are not dedicated. but allowed.

so I assume, according to your stats.. its decent then

thank, im already running 20workers.
