Hi Team,
Is there any document for setting up logstash-forwarder ?
Hi Team,
Is there any document for setting up logstash-forwarder ?
Well, there's the project's README file, which should include most things you need to know. That file also tells you that logstash-forwarder is deprecated and replaced by Filebeat. So, use Filebeat instead.
At this time i am going with logstash-forwarder and will move to filefeat later. I have few queries can you help?
If I am right logstash-forwarder will push the log to the ELK hosted server. What would be the path in ELK server where the logs will be pushed from logstash-forwarder. As I understand that we need to configure the log path with grok filter in logstash.conf
What is the difference and relation among Filebeat, Libbeat, Packetbeat and Topbeat?
ok, then what would be the path in input section. I am little bit confused here.
input {
file {
type => mobile_messages
path => [ "/installdir/ELK/LOGS/MOBILE/messages.log" ]
start_position => "beginning"
}
}
filter {
if [type] == "mobile_messages" {
grok {
type => "mobile_messages"
match => [ "message", "%{GREEDYDATA:server_name}; \/%{WORD:country_name}; %{DATESTAMP:datestamp}; %{WORD:LOB}; %{GREEDYDATA:gd1} (?:\[%{WORD:service_name}\]) %{GREEDYDATA:gd2}(?:\<StatusCode\>%{NUMBER:statuscode}\<\/StatusCode\>)(?:\<Severity\>%{WORD:severity}\<\/Severity\>)(?:\<StatusDesc\>%{GREEDYDATA:statusdesc}\<\/StatusDesc\>)%{GREEDYDATA:gd3}" ]
}
}
if "_grokparsefailure" in [tags] { drop {} }
}
output {
elasticsearch {
cluster => "elasticsearch"
protocol => "http"
action => "index"
host => "100.x.x.x"
index => "mobile_messages"
workers => 1
}
stdout {
codec => json
}
}
Don't use a file input, use a lumberjack input (or a beats input if using filebeat). See https://github.com/elastic/logstash-forwarder#use-with-logstash.
