I have the following configuration file. But when I run this, I get the timestamp changed in the terminal but the log is not shipped to ElasticSearch.
Here is the configuration file:
input {
stdin {
type => "stdin-type"
}
}
filter {
grok {
type => "stdin-type"
patterns_dir=>["./patterns"]
pattern => "%{PARSE_ERROR}"
add_tag=>"%{type1},%{type2},%{slave},ERR_SYSTEM"
}
mutate
{
type=>"stdin-type"
replace => ["#message", "%{message}" ]
replace =>["#timestamp","2013-05-09T05:19:16.876Z"]
}
}
output {
stdout { debug => true debug_format => "json"}
elasticsearch
{
}
}
On removing the replace line, the log gets shipped. Where am I going wrong?
Run logstash with the verbose flags, and then check your logstash log for any output. In verbose mode, the logstash process usually confirms if the message was sent off to ES or why it wasn't.
Your config looks clean...if the verbose flags don't give you any meaningful output, then you should check your ES setup.
Try the second 'replace' in a second mutate code block.
mutate
{
type=>"stdin-type"
replace => ["#message", "%{message}" ]
}
mutate
{
type=>"stdin-type"
replace =>["#timestamp","2013-05-09T05:19:16.876Z"]
}

I have such message to be parsed by grok filters:
"#timestamp":"2019-12-16T08:57:33.804Z","#version":"1","message":"[Optional[admin]]
(0.0.0.0, 0.0.0.0|0.0.0.0) 9999 approve
2019-12-16T08:57:30.414732Z","logger_name":"com.company.asd.asd.web.rest.MyClass","thread_name":"XNIO-1
task-5","level":"INFO","level_value":20000,"app_name":"asd","instance_id":"asd-123","app_port":"8080","version":"0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"
I tried http://grokdebug.herokuapp.com/ to parse my logs and i wrote such regexp to do it:
"#timestamp":"%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:logTime}","#version":"%{INT:version}","message":"[\D*[%{WORD:login}]]
(%{IPV4:forwardedFor}\, %{IPV4:remoteAddr}\|%{IPV4:remoteAddr})
%{WORD:identificator} %{WORD:methodName}
%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:actionaDate}%{GREEDYDATA:all}
it seems working in this debugger, but when i try to add this line to my filter in .conf file everything it writes is _grokparsefailure and my message remains unchanged, my filter:
filter {
grok {
match => { "message" => ""#timestamp":"%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:logTime}","#version":"%{INT:version}","message":"\[\D*\[%{WORD:login}]\] \(%{IPV4:forwardedFor}\, %{IPV4:remoteAddr}\|%{IPV4:remoteAddr}\) %{WORD:identificator} %{WORD:methodName} %{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:actionaDate}%{GREEDYDATA:all}" }
}
}
try the below grok,
filter {
grok {
match => { "message" => "\"#timestamp\":\"%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:logTime}\",\"#version\":\"%{INT:version}\",\"message\":\"\[\D*\[%{WORD:login}]\] \(%{IPV4:forwardedFor}\, %{IPV4:remoteAddr}\|%{IPV4:remoteAddr}\) %{WORD:identificator} %{WORD:methodName} %{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:actionaDate}%{GREEDYDATA:all}" }
}
}
I copied
{"name":"myapp","hostname":"banana.local","pid":40161,"level":30,"msg":"hi","time":"2013-01-04T18:46:23.851Z","v":0}
from https://github.com/trentm/node-bunyan and save it as my logs.json. I am trying to import only two fields (name and msg) to ElasticSearch via LogStash. The problem is that I depend on a sort of filter that I am not able to accomplish. Well I have successfully imported such line as a single message but certainly it is not worth in my real case.
That said, how can I import only name and msg to ElasticSearch? I tested several alternatives using http://grokdebug.herokuapp.com/ to reach an useful filter with no success at all.
For instance, %{GREEDYDATA:message} will bring the entire line as an unique message but how to split it and ignore all other than name and msg fields?
At the end, I am planing to use here:
input {
file {
type => "my_type"
path => [ "/home/logs/logs.log" ]
codec => "json"
}
}
filter {
grok {
match => { "message" => "data=%{GREEDYDATA:request}"}
}
#### some extra lines here probably
}
output
{
elasticsearch {
codec => json
hosts => "http://127.0.0.1:9200"
index => "indextest"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
I have just gone through the list of available Logstash filters. The prune filter should match your need.
Assume you have installed the prune filter, your config file should look like:
input {
file {
type => "my_type"
path => [ "/home/logs/logs.log" ]
codec => "json"
}
}
filter {
prune {
whitelist_names => [
"#timestamp",
"type",
"name",
"msg"
]
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
codec => json
hosts => "http://127.0.0.1:9200"
index => "indextest"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
Please be noted that you will want to keep type for Elasticsearch to index it into a correct type. #timestamp is required if you will view the data on Kibana.
I have setup local ELK. All works fine, but before trying to write my own GROK pattern I wonder is there already one for Winston style logs?
That works great for Apache style log.
I would need something that works for Winston style. I think JSON filter would do the trick, but I am not sure.
This is my Winston JSON:
{"level":"warn","message":"my message","timestamp":"2017-03-31T11:00:27.347Z"}
This is my Logstash configuration file example:
input {
beats {
port => "5043"
}
}
filter {
json {
source => "message"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => [ "localhost:9200" ]
}
}
For some reason it is not getting parsed. No error.
Try like this instead:
input {
beats {
port => "5043"
codec => json
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => [ "localhost:9200" ]
}
}
I have multiple log messages in a file which I am processing using logstash filter plugins. Then, the filtered logs are getting sent to elasticsearch.
There is one field called addID in a log message. I want to drop all the log messages which have a particular addID present. These particular addIDS are present in a ID.yml file.
Scenario: If the addID of a log message matches with any of the addIDs present in the ID.yml file, that log message should be dropped.
Could anyone help me in achieving this?
Below is my config file.
input {
file {
path => "/Users/jshaw/logs/access_logs.logs
ignore_older => 0
}
}
filter {
grok {
patterns_dir => ["/Users/jshaw/patterns"]
match => ["message", "%{TIMESTAMP:Timestamp}+{IP:ClientIP}+{URI:Uri}"]
}
kv{
field_split => "&?"
include_keys => [ "addID" ]
allow_duplicate_values => "false"
}
if [addID] in "/Users/jshaw/addID.yml" {
drop{}
}
}
output {
elasticsearch{
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
}
}
You are using the in operator wrong. It is used to check if a value is in an array, not in a file, which are usually a bit more complicated to use.
A solution would be to use the ruby filter to open the file each time.
Or put the addId value in your configuration file, like this:
if [addID] == "addID" {
drop{}
}
Summary:
I am using Logstash - Grok and elastic search and my main aim is to First accept the logs by logstash, parse them by grok and associate tags with the messages depending on the type of the log, and then finally feed it to the Elastic server to query with Kibana.
I have already written this code but am not able to get the tags in Elastic Search.
This is my logstash confif file.
input {
stdin {
type => "stdin-type"
}
}
filter {
grok {
tags => "mytags"
pattern => "I am a %{USERNAME}"
add_tag => "mytag"
named_captures_only => true
}
}
output {
stdout { debug => true debug_format => "json"}
elasticsearch {}
}
Where am I going wrong?
1) I would first start with editing your values to match the data type they represent. For example
add_tag => "mytag"
actually should have an array as it's value, not a simple string. Change that to
add_tag => ["mytag"]
as a good start. Double check all your values and verify they are of the correct type for logstash.
2) You are limiting your grok filters to messages that are already tagged with "mytags" based on the config line
tags => "mytags"
I don't see anywhere where you have added that tag ahead of time. Therefore, none of your messages will even go through your grok filter.
3) Please read the logstash docs carefully. I am rather new to the Logstash/Grok/ES/Kibana etc. world as well, but I have had very similar problems to what you have had, and all of them were solved by paying attention to what the documentation says.
You can run LogStash by hand (You may already be doing this) with /opt/logstash/bin/logstash -f $CONFIG_FILE and can check that your config file is valid with /opt/logstash/bin/logstash -f $CONFIG_FILE --configtest I bet you're already doing that though.
You may need to put your add_tag stanza into an array
grok {
...
add_tag => [ "mytag" ]
}
It could also be that what you're piping into STDIN isn't being matched in the grok pattern. If grok doesn't match is should result in _grokparsefailure being added to your tags. If you see those, it means your grok pattern isn't firing.
A better way to do this may be...
input {
stdin {
type => 'stdin'
}
}
filter {
if [type] = 'stdin' {
mutate {
add_tag => [ "mytag" ]
}
}
}
output {
stdout {
codec => 'rubydebug'
}
}
This will add a "mytag" tag to all things coming from standard in, wether they're groked or not.
