Need to define different index name

Nishant_Hurnekar · June 19, 2019, 11:29am

I am running with ELK cluster 5.6.16.

My system as below
Filebeat --> Logstash --> Elasticsearch (3 server in cluster) --> KIbana

I have few servers where many web vhosts are configured. From that server, I have configured different doc_type (abc-access , efg-access & xyz-access ) defined into filebeat.yml and defined index abc into file-beat configuration. So, All logs coming through that server goes into same index file i.e.

abc

On the same server, I have defined new doc-type i.e mno-access & I want to send all which matching to same doc-type goes to new index.

i.e. mno

I searched a lots & I didn't find anything where, we can defined new index name under filebeat.yml configuration.

So, I have decided to handle this through logstash. For that, I have setup filter into logstash & using if condition try to define new index name with matching to mno-access doc-type. But that _index meta-field doesn't changed. I tried to overwrite, remore_field options but that didn't worked. Kindly help, How to defined different index name here.

Logstash-output section

output {
if [type] =~ "mno-access" {

elasticsearch {
hosts => ["192.168.2.121:9200", "192.168.2.122:9200", "192.168.2.123:9200"]
sniffing => true
manage_template => true
index => "mno-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
}
}
else {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["192.168.2.121:9200", "192.168.2.122:9200", "192.168.2.123:9200"]
sniffing => true
manage_template => true
index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
}
}
}

have you solved this ?

Nishant_Hurnekar · June 20, 2019, 4:02am

Not yet.. I am still getting abc index name against doc_type mno-access.

robymemo · June 20, 2019, 5:17am

Can you post your filebeat conf?

Nishant_Hurnekar · June 20, 2019, 5:25am

PS : We can't remove defined index name from filebeat configuration as this was configured 1 year back & many scripts are already defined with this name. That's why, we are looking for solution into logstash.

Filebeat configuration :

filebeat.prospectors:

input_type: log
paths:

/var/log/nginx/www.access.log
document_type: abc-access

input_type: log
paths:

/var/log/nginx/akbingbot_website.access.log
document_type: mno-access

input_type: log
paths:

/var/log/nginx/akamai-wap.access.log
document_type: xyz-access

input_type: log
paths:

/var/log/php-fpm/wap-error.log
include_lines: ['Fatal error']
document_type: wap-fpm-error

input_type: log
paths:

/var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log
include_lines: ['Fatal error']
document_type: php-fpm-error
output.logstash:
hosts: ["192.168.2.122:5044", "192.168.2.121:5044"]
loadbalance: true
index: abc
ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt", "/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder_122.crt"]

Try tu use the fields instead of document_type
fields:
document_type: mno-access
fields_under_root: true

In logstash conf this in the if :
If "mno-access" in [field][document_type]...

Nishant_Hurnekar · June 20, 2019, 7:25am

Is my understanding correct ?

input_type: log
paths:

/var/log/nginx/www.access.log
document_type: abc-access

input_type: log
paths:

/var/log/nginx/akbingbot_website.access.log
fields:
document_type: mno-access
fields_under_root: true

input_type: log
paths:

/var/log/nginx/akamai-wap.access.log
document_type: xyz-access

Logstash config :

output {

# if [type] =~ "mno-access" {

if "mno-access" in [field][document_type] {

    elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["192.168.2.121:9200", "192.168.2.122:9200", "192.168.2.123:9200"]
        sniffing => true
        manage_template => true
        index => "mno-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
        document_type => "mno-access"
     }
    }
   else {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["192.168.2.121:9200", "192.168.2.122:9200", "192.168.2.123:9200"]
        sniffing => true
        manage_template => true
        index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
        document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
      }
    }

}

yes ... working ?

Nishant_Hurnekar · June 20, 2019, 8:55am

Nope. I got error in filebeat.yml.

Nishant_Hurnekar · June 20, 2019, 9:07am

Filebeat service started working after making changes as below. But logs are not getting into kibana.

- input_type: log
  paths:
    - /var/log/nginx/akbingbot_website.access.log
  fields:
    document_type: mno-access
  fields_under_root: true

Nishant_Hurnekar · June 20, 2019, 1:45pm

I have enabled debug on filebeat & found that, logs are getting pushed to logstash server. but didn't get inserted into elasticsearch.

Can anyone help out here ?

If you have set fields_under_root in filebeat.yml then you should be testing [document_type]
