i have configured logstash 5.5 to use tcp protocol for give the json message.
input {
tcp {
port => 9001
codec => json
type => "test-tcp-1"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
index => "logstash-%{type}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
}
filter{
json { source => "message" }
}
The message has been received from logstash with successfully but elasticsearch not create a index ! Why ?
If use the same configuration with stdin input plugin work fine.
Many thanks.

I have configured my logstash file like this
input {
kafka {
topics => [
...
]
bootstrap_servers => "${KAFKA_URL}"
codec => "json"
}
}
filter {
...
}
output {
elasticsearch {
index => "logstash-%{organizationId}"
hosts => ["${ELASTICSEARCH_URL}"]
codec => "json"
}
stdout { codec => json }
}
the elasticsearch output url is coming from the environment variable.
I want to improve the behavior of logstash and change dynamically the output server url based on the some info that came in the kafka message
It is possible to do it?
thanks in advance
I hope to find here an answer to my question that I am struggling with since yesterday:
I'm configuring Logstash 1.5.6 with a rabbitMQ input and an elasticsearch output.
Messages are published in rabbitMQ in bulk format, my logstash consumes them and write them all to elasticsearch default index logstash-YYY.MM.DD with this configuration:
input {
rabbitmq {
host => 'xxx'
user => 'xxx'
password => 'xxx'
queue => 'xxx'
exchange => "xxx"
key => 'xxx'
durable => true
}
output {
elasticsearch {
host => "xxx"
cluster => "elasticsearch"
flush_size =>10
bind_port => 9300
codec => "json"
protocol => "http"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
Now what I'm trying to do is send the messages to different elasticsearch indices.
The messages coming from the amqp input already have the index and type parameters (bulk format).
So after reading the documentation:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/1.5/event-dependent-configuration.html#logstash-config-field-references
I try doing that
input {
rabbitmq {
host => 'xxx'
user => 'xxx'
password => 'xxx'
queue => 'xxx'
exchange => "xxx"
key => 'xxx'
durable => true
}
output {
elasticsearch {
host => "xxx"
cluster => "elasticsearch"
flush_size =>10
bind_port => 9300
codec => "json"
protocol => "http"
index => "%{[index][_index]}"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
But what logstash is doing is create the index %{[index][_index]} and putting there all the docs instead of reading the _index parameter and sending there the docs !
I also tried the following:
index => %{index}
index => '%{index}'
index => "%{index}"
But none seems to work.
Any help ?
To resume, the main question here is: If the rabbitMQ messages have this format:
{"index":{"_index":"indexA","_type":"typeX","_ttl":2592000000}}
{"#timestamp":"2017-03-09T15:55:54.520Z","#version":"1","#fields":{DATA}}
How to tell to logstash to send the output in the index named "indexA" with type "typeX" ??
If your messages in RabbitMQ are already in bulk format then you don't need to use the elasticsearch output but a simple http output hitting the _bulk endpoint would do the trick:
output {
http {
http_method => "post"
url => "http://localhost:9200/_bulk"
format => "message"
message => "%{message}"
}
}
So everyone, with the help of Val, the solution was:
As he said since the RabbitMQ messages were already in bulk format, no need to use elasticsearch output, the http output to _bulk API will make it (silly me)
So I replaced the output with this:
output {
http {
http_method => "post"
url => "http://172.16.1.81:9200/_bulk"
format => "message"
message => "%{message}"
}
stdout { codec => json_lines }
}
But it still wasn't working. I was using Logstash 1.5.6 and after upgrading to Logstash 2.0.0 (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/2.4/_upgrading_using_package_managers.html) it worked with the same configuration.
There it is :)
If you store JSON message in Rabbitmq, then this problem can be solved.
Use index and type as field in JSON message and assign those values to Elasticsearch output plugin.
index =>
"%{index}"
//INDEX from JSON body received from Kafka Producer document_type => "%{type}" } //TYPE from JSON body
With this approach , each message can have their own index and type.
I'm sending data in a url to logstash 5.2 and I would like to parse it in logstash, so every url parameter becomes a variable in logstash and I can visualize it properly in kibana.
http://127.0.0.1:31311/?id=ID-XXXXXXXX&uid=1-37zbcuvs-izotbvbe&ev=pageload&ed=&v=1&dl=http://127.0.0.1/openpixel/&rl=&ts=1488314512294&de=windows-1252&sr=1600x900&vp=1600x303&cd=24&dt=&bn=Chrome%2056&md=false&ua=Mozilla/5.0%20(Macintosh;%20Intel%20Mac%20OS%20X%2010_11_3)%20AppleWebKit/537.36%20(KHTML,%20like%20Gecko)%20Chrome/56.0.2924.87%20Safari/537.36&utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=
This is my logstash conf file:
input
{
http
{
host => "127.0.0.1"
port => 31311
}
}
output
{
elasticsearch
{
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
}
stdout
{
codec => rubydebug
}
}
You could use the grok filter to match your params in your url as such:
filter {
grok {
match => [ "message", "%{URIPARAM:url}" ]
}
And then you might have to use kv filter in order to split your data:
kv {
source => "url"
field_split => "&"
}
This SO might become handy. Hope this helps!
I am currently evaluating Logstash for our data ingestion needs. One of the use case is to read data from AWS Kinesis stream. I have tried to install logstash-input-kinesis plugin. When i run it, i do not see logstash processing any event from the stream. My logstash is working fine with other type of inputs (tcp). There is no error in debug logs. It just behaves as there is nothing to process. my config file is :
input {
kinesis {
kinesis_stream_name => "GwsElasticPoc"
application_name => "logstash"
type => "kinesis"
}
tcp {
port => 10000
type => tcp
}
}
filter {
if [type] == "kinesis" {
json {
source => "message"
}
}
if [type] == "tcp" {
grok {
match => { "message" => "Hello, %{WORD:name}"}
}
}
}
output{
if [type] == "kinesis"
{
elasticsearch{
hosts => "http://localhost:9200"
user => "elastic"
password => "changeme"
index => elasticpoc
}
}
if [type] == "tcp"
{
elasticsearch{
hosts => "http://localhost:9200"
user => "elastic"
password => "changeme"
index => elkpoc
}
}
}
I have not tried the logstash way but if you are running on AWS. There is a Kinesis Firehose to Elasticsearch ingestion available as documented at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/dev/basic-create.html#console-to-es
You can see if that would work as an alternate to logstash
we need to provide the AWS credentials for accessing the AWS services for this integration to work.
You can find the same here: https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-kinesis#authentication
This plugin requires additional access to AWS DynamoDB as 'checkpointing' database.
You need to use 'application_name' to specify the table name in DynamoDB if you have multiple streams.

I'm using ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for logging purposes. The problem is Kibana doesn't seem to recognize my JSON, because it puts my JSON inside message.
Here's how I run Logstash:
bin/logstash -e 'input { udp { port => 5000 type => json_logger } }
output { stdout { } elasticsearch { host => localhost } }'
Here's an example Logstash output for my logs (for debugging purposes I also output logs to stdout):
2014-10-07T10:28:19.104+0000 127.0.0.1
{"user_id":1,"object_id":6,"#timestamp":"2014-10-07T13:28:19.101+03:00","#version":"1","severity":"INFO","host":"sergey-System"}
How do I make Elasticsearch/Kibana/Logstash recognize JSON?
Try bin/logstash -e 'input { udp { port => 5000 type => json_logger codec => json} } output { stdout { } elasticsearch { host => localhost } }'.
Note the codec => json option.
