I am completely new to ELK stack concept. i want to capture the system metric of my organizations servers which is of AWS using metricbeat and want to receive those logs on one central server where i have installed elasticsearch and kibana, but i not able to get any logs from my server to central server.
i am attaching .yml of elasticsearch, kibana and metricbeat. please if anyone can help me with setting this architecture will be really be helpfiul.
.yml of metricbeat
###################### Metricbeat Configuration Example #######################
This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common
options. The metricbeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains all the
supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.
You can find the full configuration reference here:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/index.html
=========================== Modules configuration ============================
metricbeat.config.modules:
Glob pattern for configuration loading
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: false
Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
#reload.period: 10s
======================= Elasticsearch template setting =======================
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
================================== General ===================================
The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group
all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.
#name:
The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each
transaction published.
#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]
Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the
output.
#fields:
env: staging
================================= Dashboards =================================
These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading
the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the
options here or by using the setup command.
#setup.dashboards.enabled: false
The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL
has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released
versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the artifacts.elastic.co
website.
#setup.dashboards.url:
=================================== Kibana ===================================
Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.
This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.
setup.kibana:
Kibana Host
Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)
In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: http://localhost:5601/path
IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601
host: "13.233.255.128:5601"
Kibana Space ID
ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded. By default,
the Default Space will be used.
#space.id:
=============================== Elastic Cloud ================================
These settings simplify using Metricbeat with the Elastic Cloud (https://cloud.elastic.co/).
The cloud.id setting overwrites the output.elasticsearch.hosts and
setup.kibana.host options.
You can find the cloud.id in the Elastic Cloud web UI.
#cloud.id:
The cloud.auth setting overwrites the output.elasticsearch.username and
output.elasticsearch.password settings. The format is <user>:<pass>.
#cloud.auth:
================================== Outputs ===================================
Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.
---------------------------- Elasticsearch Output ----------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["13.233.255.128:9200"]
Protocol - either http (default) or https.
#protocol: "https"
Authentication credentials - either API key or username/password.
#api_key: "id:api_key"
#username: "elastic"
#password: "changeme"
------------------------------ Logstash Output -------------------------------
#output.logstash:
The Logstash hosts
#hosts: ["localhost:5044"]
Optional SSL. By default is off.
List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications
#ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]
Certificate for SSL client authentication
#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"
Client Certificate Key
#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
================================= Processors =================================
Configure processors to enhance or manipulate events generated by the beat.
processors:
- add_host_metadata: ~
- add_cloud_metadata: ~
- add_docker_metadata: ~
- add_kubernetes_metadata: ~
================================== Logging ===================================
Sets log level. The default log level is info.
Available log levels are: error, warning, info, debug
#logging.level: debug
At debug level, you can selectively enable logging only for some components.
To enable all selectors use ["*"]. Examples of other selectors are "beat",
"publish", "service".
#logging.selectors: ["*"]
============================= X-Pack Monitoring ==============================
Metricbeat can export internal metrics to a central Elasticsearch monitoring
cluster. This requires xpack monitoring to be enabled in Elasticsearch. The
reporting is disabled by default.
Set to true to enable the monitoring reporter.
#monitoring.enabled: false
Sets the UUID of the Elasticsearch cluster under which monitoring data for this
Metricbeat instance will appear in the Stack Monitoring UI. If output.elasticsearch
is enabled, the UUID is derived from the Elasticsearch cluster referenced by output.elasticsearch.
#monitoring.cluster_uuid:
Uncomment to send the metrics to Elasticsearch. Most settings from the
Elasticsearch output are accepted here as well.
Note that the settings should point to your Elasticsearch monitoring cluster.
Any setting that is not set is automatically inherited from the Elasticsearch
output configuration, so if you have the Elasticsearch output configured such
that it is pointing to your Elasticsearch monitoring cluster, you can simply
uncomment the following line.
#monitoring.elasticsearch:
============================== Instrumentation ===============================
Instrumentation support for the metricbeat.
#instrumentation:
# Set to true to enable instrumentation of metricbeat.
#enabled: false
# Environment in which metricbeat is running on (eg: staging, production, etc.)
#environment: ""
# APM Server hosts to report instrumentation results to.
#hosts:
# - http://localhost:8200
# API Key for the APM Server(s).
# If api_key is set then secret_token will be ignored.
#api_key:
# Secret token for the APM Server(s).
#secret_token:
================================= Migration ==================================
This allows to enable 6.7 migration aliases
#migration.6_to_7.enabled: true
---------------------=-------------------------------------------------------
.yml snippet of kibana
The URLs of the Elasticsearch instances to use for all your queries.
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://localhost:9200"]
When this setting's value is true Kibana uses the hostname specified in the server.host
setting. When the value of this setting is false, Kibana uses the hostname of the host
that connects to this Kibana instance.
#elasticsearch.preserveHost: true
.yml snippet of elasticsearch
Network -----------------------------------
Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#network.host: 192.168.0.1
Set a custom port for HTTP:
#http.port: 9200
For more information, consult the network module documentation.
--------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:
The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#discovery.seed_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:
#cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]
