Logstash Pipeline from 6.1 not working 6.2.1

wwalker · February 20, 2018, 2:36am

This is exhausting....

Creating a guide and started a new ElasticStack setup from scratch, new VMs and all. Installed ElasticStack 6.2.1 with each application on it's own VM. Started Logstash with my pipeline with no issue. Tried to ingest a file and it errors out with the following. The pipeline is a direct copy from a Logstash 6.1.1 installation that is working. I've even tried retyping the entire pipeline using Notepad++ ensuring UTF8 encoding is used.

Can you gist/pastebin/etc up the error, it's a bit mangled as is, and the continuity and formatting is important

Thanks for that.

What version of the XML filter plugin is installed? bin/logstash-plugin list '*xml*' should show that.

Just realized I was missing a couple characters in that command you gave me, doesn't appear to make a difference though. BTW, I'm using the xml filter that came with the install.

So,

github.com

logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-xml/blob/v4.0.5/lib/logstash/filters/xml.rb#L171


      # TODO: (colin) the return statement here feels like a bug and should probably be a next ?
      return if value.is_a?(Array) && value.length == 0


      if value
        matched = true
        # TODO: (colin) this can probably be optimized to avoid the Event get/set at every loop iteration anf
        # the array should probably be created once, filled in the loop and set at after the loop but the return
        # statement above screws this strategy and is likely a bug anyway so I will not touch this until I can
        # deep a big deeper and verify there is a sufficient test harness to refactor this.
        data = event.get(xpath_dest) || []
        data << value.to_s
        event.set(xpath_dest, data)
      end
    end
  end
end


if @store_xml
  begin
    xml_options = {"ForceArray" => @force_array, "ForceContent" => @force_content}
    xml_options["SuppressEmpty"] = true if @suppress_empty

is the last line in the Logstash code before we eventually reach

github.com

sparklemotion/nokogiri/blob/v1.8.2/ext/java/nokogiri/internals/SaveContextVisitor.java#L758


    }


    textContent = encodeStringToHtmlEntity(textContent);
    buffer.append(textContent);
    return true;
}


private CharSequence encodeStringToHtmlEntity(CharSequence text) {
    if (encoding == null) return text;


    CharsetEncoder encoder = Charset.forName(encoding).newEncoder();
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(text.length() + 16);
    // make sure we can handle code points that are higher than 2 bytes
    for ( int i = 0; i < text.length(); ) {
        int code = Character.codePointAt(text, i);
        // TODO not sure about bigger offset then 2 ?!
        int offset = code > 65535 ? 2 : 1;
        CharSequence substr = text.subSequence(i, i + offset);
        boolean canEncode = encoder.canEncode(substr);
        if (canEncode) {
            sb.append(substr);

which makes the fatal call to Charset.forName() that triggers the exception. The ASCII-8BIT charset name that it seems to dislike is taken from the Ruby-detected (?) charset of the input XML string:

github.com

logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-xml/blob/v4.0.5/lib/logstash/filters/xml.rb#L120-L144


value = event.get(@source)
return unless value


if value.is_a?(Array)
  if value.length != 1
    event.tag(XMLPARSEFAILURE_TAG)
    @logger.warn("XML filter expects single item array", :source => @source, :value => value)
    return
  end


  value = value.first
end


unless value.is_a?(String)
  event.tag(XMLPARSEFAILURE_TAG)
  @logger.warn("XML filter expects a string but received a #{value.class}", :source => @source, :value => value)
  return
end


# Do nothing with an empty string.

This file has been truncated. show original

My guess is that the input string isn't actually UTF-8 but some other charset that can't be detected, hence it falls back to the (bogus) ASCII-8BIT charset.

So, check your input file. Does it have any 8-bit characters? If so, is it really UTF-8?

So it's not the pipeline, it's the file that's being parsed?

wwalker · February 20, 2018, 6:19am

I'm 100% certain it's not the file, unless something was changed between 6.1.1 and 6.2.1 in regards to how the XML filter works. I'm using the same ~200 xml files on both systems with the same pipeline. They work on 6.1.1 and not on 6.2.1.

I also ran through a couple different methods of changing the file encoding to UTF8 with same results in the logstash pipeline.

Notepad++, ensuring Encoding is set to UTF8
PowerShell Set-Content -Encoding UTF8
PowerShell Out-File -Encoding UTF8

magnusbaeck · February 20, 2018, 8:14am

The xml filter is unchanged between 6.1.1 and 6.2.1 but the Nokogiri XML library was bumped from 1.8.1 to 1.8.2, which contains a fix for https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/1659 and that issue is clearly related to what you're seeing. However, it actually looks like that bugfix should've fixed the problem you're having, i.e. from the look of things it should've been 6.1.1 that was broken and 6.2.1 that was working. I clearly don't understand this so I won't dig any further.

warkolm · February 20, 2018, 8:23am

Thanks for that digging @magnusbaeck, seriously amazing stuff!

@wwalker would you be up to going back to the upstream library and raising this with them?

wwalker · February 20, 2018, 1:10pm

Haha, I definitely would be willing...if I understood anything you said. Is the upstream library Nokogiri and I'd submit the issue with them on github?

wwalker · February 23, 2018, 4:19am

Here's a fun twist, I found out how to make it work and what the difference was.

In my 6.1.1 implementation, I installed logstash as a service utilizing Non-Sucking Service Manager (NSSM) and then used -f pathtopipeline. If I remove the -f argument and try to load the config from pipelines.yml, it fails with the same error as above.

In 6.2.1, if I specify -f pathtopipeline, I still get the same error.
