Hi all, one of my colleagues called me yesterday and I was told that there are 2 logfile from Logstash are growing oversize, screenshot as below:
So the scenario is I am running 2 logstash as background services 24/7 since last month and it is weird for the logfile (as the pictures shown) having so much size.
So the message from the files logstash-stdout.log is basically the log input where the log is coming from another services named Nagios and I wonder why it doesn't do the log rotation like hitting certain size it will delete or the kind of log management.
However, message from another file named logstash-stderr.log is receiving this message all the time Could not load : no implicit conversion of nil into String
So in short, I would like to solve the oversize issue and btw what does Could not load : no implicit conversion of nil into String mean and how could it happened ?
Below is what I have write in the files.
Logstash1.conf
input {
file {
path => ["/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log"]
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}
filter{
//Filtering
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["<IP_ADDRESS>"]
index => "test-nagios"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
Logstash2.conf
input {
udp {
port => 514
}
}
filter {
//do ntg here
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["<IP_ADDRESS>"]
index => "get-tcp-1"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
