No more logs in ELK

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and I've been using the ELK stack recently. I am in apprenticeship in my company and I am asked to take over the SIEM because nobody knows how to use it. (It was implemented by a previous apprentice who is no longer here.)

I had a lot of problems to correct and everything worked until 04/01/2021.From one day to the next, no more logs were visible in Kibana while no changes were made. Yesterday I looked for the source of the issue in the data streams, in configuration files and also in the ElasticSearch and Logstash log files, looking at what happened around the time the logs stopped. I didn't find anything unnatural or I didn't understand the errors in the logs.

I also looked at several topics in the forum but I couldn't find anything that fit my issue.

I don't have much to provide for this first post except logs on demand. I would like to know if someone would be willing to help me step by step to identify the source of the problem.

What does your Logstash config look like?

Hello and thanks for your answer !

To begin, I would like to point out that to fix the problem, I restored a backup from 2 days ago. The logs are back up again but I'm afraid that the problem will come up again. Indeed, the configuration was not changed when the problem appeared. So I'll have to continue my investigation and make an optimization work on these servers until they have a stable operation.

About this:

Expected one of #, => at line 11, column 5 (byte 177) after filter{\n\tgrok {\n\t\tmatch => { "message" => "[%{GREEDYDATA:log_level}] %{GREEDYDATA:message}\

I think it refers to the filtering file of our bastion logs.

#INPUT FILE:

input {
  syslog {
    port => 12346
  }
}

#FILTER FILE:

filter{
        grok {
                match => { "message" => "\[%{GREEDYDATA:log_level}\] %{GREEDYDATA:message}"}
                overwrite => [ "message" ]
        }
        kv {
                field_split => " "
                include_brackets => false
        }
}

#OUTPUT FILE:

output {
        elasticsearch {
                hosts => ["https://elasticsearch:9200"]
                index => "syslog-wallix-%{+dd.MM.YYYY}"
                user => "${ES_USER}"
                password => "${ES_PASS}"
                ssl => true
                cacert => '/path/to/certs/xxx.crt'
                ilm_enabled => true
                ilm_rollover_alias => "syslog-wallix"
                ilm_pattern => "000001"
                ilm_policy=> "index_syslog"
        }
}

I don't know why, but the syslog-wallix index is the only one where there never were logs. Maybe due to the filter configuration file ?

#Pipelines.yml :

- pipeline.id: beats
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/beats.d/*.conf"
- pipeline.id: syslog_esx
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/syslog_esx.d/*.conf"
- pipeline.id: syslog_wallix
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/syslog_wallix.d/*.conf"
- pipeline.id: syslog_fortinet
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/syslog_fortinet.d/*.conf"

Each pipeline has 3 or more (For example there are multiple filter files for beats pipeline) configuration file (Input, Filter, Output)

In the following code you can check my logstash.yml file:

# Settings file in YAML
#
# Settings can be specified either in hierarchical form, e.g.:
#
#   pipeline:

# Or as flat keys:

#   pipeline.batch.delay: 5
#
# ------------  Node identity ------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
node.name: logstash-server
#
# If omitted the node name will default to the machine's host name
#
# ------------ Data path ------------------
#
# Which directory should be used by logstash and its plugins

# ------------ Cloud Settings ---------------
# Define Elastic Cloud settings here.
# Format of cloud.id is a base64 value e.g. dXMtZWFzdC0xLmF3cy5mb3VuZC5pbyRub3RhcmVhbCRpZGVudGlmaWVy
# and it may have an label prefix e.g. staging:dXMtZ...
# This will overwrite 'var.elasticsearch.hosts' and 'var.kibana.host'
# cloud.id: <identifier>
#
# Format of cloud.auth is: <user>:<pass>
# This is optional
# If supplied this will overwrite 'var.elasticsearch.username' and 'var.elasticsearch.password'

#
# ------------ Queuing Settings --------------
#
# Internal queuing model, "memory" for legacy in-memory based queuing and
# "persisted" for disk-based acked queueing. Defaults is memory
#
queue.type: persisted
#
# If using queue.type: persisted, the directory path where the data files will be stored.
# Default is path.data/queue
#
# path.queue:

# Default is 0 (unlimited)
#
queue.max_events: 0
#
# If using queue.type: persisted, the total capacity of the queue in number of bytes.
# If you would like more unacked events to be buffered in Logstash, you can increase the
# capacity using this setting. Please make sure your disk drive has capacity greater than
# the size specified here. If both max_bytes and max_events are specified, Logstash will pick
# whichever criteria is reached first
# Default is 1024mb or 1gb
#
queue.max_bytes: 6gb
#
# If using queue.type: persisted, the maximum number of acked events before forcing a checkpoint
# Default is 1024, 0 for unlimited

#
# If using queue.type: persisted, the maximum number of written events before forcing a checkpoint
# Default is 1024, 0 for unlimited
#
queue.checkpoint.writes: 1024
#
# If using queue.type: persisted, the interval in milliseconds when a checkpoint is forced on the head page
# Default is 1000, 0 for no periodic checkpoint.
#
# queue.checkpoint.interval: 1000
#
# ------------ Dead-Letter Queue Settings --------------
# Flag to turn on dead-letter queue.
#
# dead_letter_queue.enable: false

# will be dropped if they would increase the size of the dead letter queue beyond this setting.
# Default is 1024mb
# dead_letter_queue.max_bytes: 1024mb

# If using dead_letter_queue.enable: true, the directory path where the data files will be stored.
# Default is path.data/dead_letter_queue
#
# path.dead_letter_queue:
#
# ------------ Metrics Settings --------------
#
# Bind address for the metrics REST endpoint
#
# http.host: "127.0.0.1"
#
# Bind port for the metrics REST endpoint, this option also accept a range
# (9600-9700) and logstash will pick up the first available ports.
#
# http.port: 9600-9700
#
# ------------ Debugging Settings --------------
#
# Options for log.level:
#   * fatal
#   * error
#   * warn

Finally, the logs are back because we restored servers, but currently our syslog-wallix index still has nothing. Yet when I use the top -H command on the logstash server, I notice this:

 1736 logstash 39 19 8601536 2,777g 217808 R 86,4 71,9 1169:58 [syslog_wallix]

But there are no logs about that in Kibana ....

I can't make the link between all issues I've had, so I hope you will be able to guide me :sweat_smile:

Thanks for reading :smile:

Hi everyone !

I resolved the issue about my syslog_wallix index. This is the new filter file :

filter {
        grok {
                match => {
                        "message" => "%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog_hostname} %{DATA:syslog_program}(?:\[%{POSINT:syslog_pid}\])?: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog_message}"
                        }
        }
}

It 's simple and maybe temporary filter file but now the logs are back and the parsing works quite well. There are others common issues like grokparsefailure etc. But I would open a new topic if I can't solve them.

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:
