Parse host url error docker event

ncasaux · January 14, 2019, 10:43am

Hello,

I try to use Metricbeat with the autodiscover feature for docker, with following config

Metricbeat.yml:

output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["elasticsearch:9200"]

setup.template.name: "metricbeat"
setup.template.settings:
  index.number_of_shards: 1
  index.number_of_replicas: 0

metricbeat.modules:
- module: system

metricbeat.autodiscover:
  providers:
    - type: docker
      hints.enabled: true

Metricbeat is not able to parse docker event. See below what happend when I restarted kibana on docker:

Metricbeat is not able to parse the host, however, the host field is there in the start event.

Metricbeat itself is runnnig on docker as well, with this command:

docker run --name metricbeat \
  -d --rm \
  --network=myBridgeNetwork \
  --mount type=bind,source=/proc,target=/hostfs/proc,readonly \
  --mount type=bind,source=/sys/fs/cgroup,target=/hostfs/sys/fs/cgroup,readonly \
  --mount type=bind,source=/,target=/hostfs,readonly \
  --mount type=bind,source=/var/lib/docker/containers,target=/var/lib/docker/containers,readonly \
  --mount type=bind,source=/var/run/docker.sock,target=/var/run/docker.sock,readonly \
  --mount type=bind,source=/root/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml,target=/usr/share/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml,readonly \
  --user=root \
  docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat:6.5.4 -e -d "autodiscover" -system.hostfs=/hostfs

Am I missing something ?

Hi @ncasaux,

Your configuration looks correct, can you please share the labels you are adding to the container you want to monitor? It looks like co.elastic.metrics/hosts is missing, check https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/configuration-autodiscover-hints.html#_docker_3 for an example.

Best regards

Hi @exekias,

I changed it to

docker run --name kibana \
  -d --rm \
  -p 5601:5601 \
  --network=myBridgeNetwork \
  --label co.elastic.metrics/module=kibana \
  --label co.elastic.metrics/hosts='localhost:${data.port}' \
  --label co.elastic.logs/module=kibana \
  -e "ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200" \
  -e "SERVER_BASEPATH=/kibana" \
  docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.5.4

and there is no more parsing error.

However, as my Kibana is exposed under path /kibana, how can I tell Metricbeat tries to query /kibana/ instead of / ?

Have you tried by adding the path under the hosts variable? If that doesn't work you would need to rely on raw settings input: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/configuration-autodiscover-hints.html#_literal_co_elastic_logs_raw_literal

Hello @exekias ,

I managed to go a bit further in my analysis, here the current status:

1- When I run Kibana like this (note that the only activated metricset is status):

docker run --name kibana \
  -d --rm \
  -p 5601:5601 \
  --network=myBridgeNetwork \
  --label co.elastic.metrics/module=kibana \
  --label co.elastic.metrics/hosts='${data.host}:${data.port}' \
  --label co.elastic.metrics/metricsets=status \
  --label co.elastic.logs/module=kibana \
  -e "ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200" \
  -e "SERVER_BASEPATH=/kibana" \
  docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.5.4

there is no problem:

2019-01-18T15:30:57.373Z        DEBUG   [autodiscover]  autodiscover/autodiscover.go:162        Got a start event: map[config:[0xc4207f9e60] start:true host:172.20.0.3 port:5601 docker:{"container":{"id":"0fdbbd78e64d9483159cfb989183da5cb4aea06abd80339cb780306379cb54f0","image":"docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.5.4","labels":{"co":{"elastic":{"logs/module":"kibana","metrics/hosts":"${data.host}:${data.port}","metrics/metricsets":"status","metrics/module":"kibana"}},"license":"Elastic License","org":{"label-schema":{"build-date":"20181205","license":"GPLv2","name":"kibana","schema-version":"1.0","url":"https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana","vcs-url":"https://github.com/elastic/kibana-docker","vendor":"Elastic","version":"6.5.4"}}},"name":"kibana"}} meta:{"docker":{"container":{"id":"0fdbbd78e64d9483159cfb989183da5cb4aea06abd80339cb780306379cb54f0","image":"docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.5.4","labels":{"co":{"elastic":{"logs/module":"kibana","metrics/hosts":"${data.host}:${data.port}","metrics/metricsets":"status","metrics/module":"kibana"}},"license":"Elastic License","org":{"label-schema":{"build-date":"20181205","license":"GPLv2","name":"kibana","schema-version":"1.0","url":"https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana","vcs-url":"https://github.com/elastic/kibana-docker","vendor":"Elastic","version":"6.5.4"}}},"name":"kibana"}}}], generated configs: [0xc4207f9e60]

2 - When I run Kibana like this (note that the only activated metricset is stats this time, and there is no other difference compared to the previous command):

docker run --name kibana \
  -d --rm \
  -p 5601:5601 \
  --network=myBridgeNetwork \
  --label co.elastic.metrics/module=kibana \
  --label co.elastic.metrics/hosts='${data.host}:${data.port}' \
  --label co.elastic.metrics/metricsets=stats \
  --label co.elastic.logs/module=kibana \
  -e "ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200" \
  -e "SERVER_BASEPATH=/kibana" \
  docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.5.4

There is this problem:

It does not make sense to me.
Maybe the error message is not correct ? Maybe a bug in this experimental features ?

Thanks in advance !
