Logstash's Kinesis input plugin doesn't able to access aws credentials file

vnallamothu · December 6, 2018, 9:03pm

I was trying to send my logs from AWS Kinesis Firehose to my self managed Elasticsearch cluster through logstash and logstash's kinesis input plugin.

My conf file looks like the following:

input {
        kinesis {
                kinesis_stream_name => "Findings-monitor"
                region => "us-west-2"
                profile => "~/.aws/credentials"
                codec => "json"
         }
}
output {
        elasticsearch {
                hosts => "XX.XX.XX.XX:9200"
                index => "sample-index"
                             }
           }

I've added my aws credentials to the "~/.aws/credentials" file and also installed kinesis input plugin. But, when I ran the bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/test.conf --path.settings /etc/logstash command, I'm getting the following error:

Can anyone explain whats my fault?

Raywon_Teja_Kari · December 7, 2018, 9:16pm

Hi,

here you need to use the profile name defined in your credentials file, not the path to this, if I'm not wrong...

for example: default is the profile name here

[default]
aws_access_key_id = XX
aws_secret_access_key = XX

vnallamothu · December 7, 2018, 9:48pm

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. Even if I changed the profile value to the default, it is throwing the same error. Also, I tried exporting those values as environmental variables and deleted the profile => default line. Still no luck.

Raywon_Teja_Kari · December 7, 2018, 9:56pm

What error did you get when you used profile => "default"?
How did you set environment variables and what did you set?
What error did you get when you used environment variables?

vnallamothu · December 7, 2018, 10:02pm

In all the cases, I got the same error that I've listed in my first post.

I've set my ACCESS KEY ID and Secret access key ID as environmental variables. with commands:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key_id
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_access_key

Do I need to create a DynamoDB table or the logstash configuration will create one? Do you have any idea?

vnallamothu · December 10, 2018, 6:09pm

if I run sudo bin/logstash -e /etc/logstash/conf.d/test.conf --path.settings /etc/logstash, instead of the parameter "-f" it is throwing the error:

My mistake is that I am running the bin/logstash command with sudo privileges but didn't assign environmental variables in root user profile.
