Logstash only using 2 core out of 4 core system.

logstash config file is

input {
  beats {
    port => 9092
  }
}

#---------------------OUTPUT SECTION----------------------------------------
output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["10.0.0.12:5044", "10.0.0.16:5044", "10.0.0.14:5044"]
    manage_template => false

How to balance cpu core utilization ?

guyboertje · January 17, 2019, 1:58pm

Reading the readme on this library, it is not so easy to set thread CPU affinity and I don't know how Windows works with thread affinity.

varun1992 · January 17, 2019, 2:24pm

what is the relation with logstash and affinity ?

guyboertje · January 17, 2019, 2:42pm

Logstash uses JRuby and runs on the Java JVM. The JVM delegates mapping of threads to cores to the OS.

varun1992 · January 17, 2019, 2:48pm

So how do i solve this issue ?

i am using windows server 2012 R2.

guyboertje · January 17, 2019, 2:59pm

We can't at the Logstash level. Maybe Windows is holding back two CPUs for other things - like being a server.

varun1992 · January 17, 2019, 3:01pm

but other cores are less than 5% utilization

Badger · January 17, 2019, 3:10pm

Do you really have no filters at all? Just one input and one output?

varun1992 · January 17, 2019, 3:21pm

yes i am filtering beat data, i want all the data from beat

Badger · January 17, 2019, 3:30pm

I believe both inputs and outputs are single threaded. If you have one input and one output then that only requires two threads, so it will only use two CPUs.

varun1992 · January 17, 2019, 3:38pm

i am getting this error in logstash sometimes. any idea ?

Can you show us the beat and logstash configurations? Are there errors in the beat logs that correspond to the Invalid Frame errors (e.g. connection reset by peer)?

varun1992 · January 17, 2019, 4:08pm

which beat ? i will show filebeat is that ok ? logstash conf as above

I find it impossible to reconcile the IP addresses in that logfile line with the configurations that you are posting. Your beats input appears to be listening on port 9092.

varun1992 · January 17, 2019, 4:38pm

sorry, I edited config, I copied wrong cinf before. my logstash port is 9092. elastic port is 5044

Badger · January 17, 2019, 4:46pm

Are you able to log in to 70.99.118.61 and use lsof to find what process has port 50455 open?

varun1992 · January 17, 2019, 4:53pm

Is there any other way? That public ip used by more than 5 pc. so don't know which pc to check

varun1992 · January 19, 2019, 1:30pm

Any other way to solve issue ?

Badger · January 19, 2019, 1:36pm

Well I would guess there is something configured to expect 9092 to be elasticsearch, so you could switch your configuration around to have elasticsearch on 9092 and use 5044 for beats. This would have the added advantage of being consistent with the expectations of the rest of the planet.
