For background: I'm attempting to automate steps to provision and create a multitude of Logstash processes within Ansible, but want to ensure the steps and configuration work manually before automating the process.
I have installed Logstash as per Elastic's documentation (its an RPM installation), and have it correctly shipping logs to my ES instance without issue. Elasticsearch and Logstash are both v7.12.0.
Following the keystore docs, I've created a /etc/sysconfig/logstash file and have set the permissions to the file to 0600. I've added the LOGSTASH_KEYSTORE_PASS key to the file to use as the environment variable sourced by the keystore command on creation and reading of the keystore itself.
Upon running the sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-keystore --path.settings /etc/logstash create command, the process spits back the following error:
WARNING: The keystore password is not set.
Please set the environment variable `LOGSTASH_KEYSTORE_PASS`.
Failure to do so will result in reduced security.
Continue without password protection on the keystore? [y/N]
This should not be the case, as the keystore process should be sourcing my password env var from the aforementioned file. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, and if so, how did you solve it?
This is expected, the file /etc/sysconfig/logstash will be read only when you start logstash as a service, not when you run it from command line.
To create the keystore you will need to export the variable with the password first, as explained in the documentation.
set +o history
export LOGSTASH_KEYSTORE_PASS=mypassword
set -o history
sudo -E /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-keystore --path.settings /etc/logstash create
After that, when you start logstash as a service it will read the variable from the /etc/sysconfig/logstash file.
1 - you should write your password for KEYSTORE itself.
It is under config/startup-options.
E.g. LOGSTASH_KEYSTORE_PASS=mypassword (without export)
2 - Then you should use the Keystore password to create your keystore file.
set +o history
export LOGSTASH_KEYSTORE_PASS=mypassword
set -o history
..logstash/bin/logstash-keystore --path.settings ../logstash create
Note: logstash-keystore and logstash.keystore are different things. you created the one with dot. It is in config/.. directory where your startup.options is.
History command is to hide your password to be seen. Because if somebody uses "history" to list all the commands used previously, they can see your password.
3 - Then you can add your first password into keystore file. You should give your keystore password beforehand.
set +o history
export LOGSTASH_KEYSTORE_PASS=mypassword
set -o history
./bin/logstash-keystore add YOUR_KEY
Then it will ask for your VALUE. If you do not give your keystore password, you get an error: Found a file at....but it's not a valid Logstash keystore
4 - Once you give your password. You can list the content of your keystore file, or remove. Replace "list" with "remove".
./bin/logstash-keystore list
I have tectia ssh server in a windows environment.
When I use sftpg3 -B cmd.txt username#host that works fine. The only problem is that it doesnt let me execute files remotely, it only lets me move files. It reads the commands from cmd.txt but since I cant execute anything it ignores the commands.
Well when I do the same thing but use sshg3, it doesnt recognize the -B flag at all.
SSHG3 -B cmd.txt username#host
cmd.txt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I've tried putting -B "cmd.txt"
I tried just putting the cmd.txt contents in the same script instead of housing them in cmd.txt and getting rid of -B, but it doesnt run them that way either.
The docs dont have much to go off of. All it says is use -B for batch processing.
Contents of cmd.txt:
D:
cd Library
cd Backup
parseLibrary.cmd
exit
Trying to sshg3 into a host, navigate to a path and run a batch file on that host.
Any ideas?
-B, --batch-mode
Uses batch mode. Fails authentication if it requires user interaction on the terminal.
Using batch mode requires that you have previously saved the server host key on the client and set up a non-interactive method for user authentication (for example, host-based authentication or public-key authentication without a passphrase).
It does use public key authentication, there is no user interaction needed on the terminal.
Noticed this on the docs for sftpg3
-B [ - | batch_file ]
The -B - option enables reading from the standard input. This option is useful when you want to launch processes with sftpg3 and redirect the stdin pipes.
By defining the name of a batch_file as an attribute, you can execute SFTP commands from the given file in batch mode. The file can contain any allowed SFTP commands. For a description of the commands, see the section called “Commands”.
Using batch mode requires that you have previously saved the server host key on the client and set up a non-interactive method for user authentication (for example, host-based authentication or public-key authentication without a passphrase).
I'm guessing batch file is different than batch mode?
*I figured it out. You have to use the -B flag for every command you want to execute.

I tried to get the ACLs of Q n Topics but one by one.
Can we run a script in EMS to get the ACLs of required queues r topics into a file.?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vijay
Create a text file with all your commands in it with each command on a new line.
example myscript.txt
showacl queue queue1
showacl queue queue2
On command line navigate to ems bin directory and call tibemsadmin executable with -script parameter and pass above created text file. example:
tibemsadmin -server tcp://localhost:7222 -script myscript.txt -user user -password pwd
The output would be shown on console you can redirect it to a text by appending >out.txt to above command.
*Don't forget to update the correct EMS server, username and password in the command.
If you have access to the EMS installation directory, then you can get the required details directly from the acl.conf file available in the installation directory.
How can I access the MySQL command line with XAMPP for Windows?
Your MySQL binaries should be somewhere under your XAMPP folder. Look for a /bin folder, and you'll find the mysql.exe client around. Let's assume it is in c:\xampp\mysql\bin, then you should fireup a command prompt in this folder.
That means, fire up "cmd", and type:
cd c:\xampp\mysql\bin
mysql.exe -u root --password
If you want to use mysqldump.exe, you should also find it there.
Log into your mysql server, and start typing your commands.
On the Mac, or at least on my Mac using a default install, I accessed it at:
/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin/mysql -uroot -p
For Linux:
/opt/lampp/bin/mysql -u root -p
To use just 'mysql -u root -p' command then add '/opt/lampp/bin' to the PATH of the environment variables.
To access the mysql command in Windows without manually changing directories, do this:
Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings.
System Properties will appear.
Click on the 'Advanced' tab.
Click 'Environment Variables'.
Under System Variables, locate 'Path' and click Edit.
Append the path to your MySQL installation to the end of the exisiting 'Variable value'. Example:
%systemDrive%\xampp\mysql\bin\
or, if you prefer
c:\xampp\mysql\bin\
Finally, open a new command prompt to make this change take effect.
Note that MySQL's documentation on Setting Environment Variables has little to say about handling this in Windows.
Open the XAMPP control panel.
Click Shell.
Type mysql --user=your_user_name --password=your_password.
You can access the MySQL command line with XAMPP for Windows
click XAMPP icon to launch its cPanel
click on Shell button
Type this mysql -h localhost -u root and click enter
You should see all the command lines and what they do
Setting environment for using XAMPP for Windows.

ALTER TABLE)
(Defaults to on; use --skip-progress-reports to disable.)
--prompt=name Set the mysql prompt to this value.
--protocol=name The protocol to use for connection (tcp, socket, pipe,
memory).
-q, --quick Don't cache result, print it row by row. This may slow
down the server if the output is suspended. Doesn't use
history file.
-r, --raw Write fields without conversion. Used with --batch.
--reconnect Reconnect if the connection is lost. Disable with
--disable-reconnect. This option is enabled by default.

and also turns off parsing of all clientcommands except
\C and DELIMITER, in non-interactive mode (for input
piped to mysql or loaded using the 'source' command).
This is necessary when processing output from mysqlbinlog
that may contain blobs.

Ajay,
The reason that you can't see the other tables is that you need to log in as 'root' in order to see them
mysql -h localhost -u root
In terminal:
cd C:\xampp\mysql\bin
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 --port=3306 -u root --password
Hit ENTER if the password is an empty string. Now you are in.
You can list all available databases, and select one using the fallowing:
SHOW DATABASES;
USE database_name_here;
SHOW TABLES;
DESC table_name_here;
SELECT * FROM table_name_here;
Remember about the ";" at the end of each SQL statement.
Windows cmd terminal is not very nice and does not support Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V (copy, paste) shortcuts. If you plan to work a lot in terminal, consider installing an alternative terminal cmd line, I use cmder terminal - Download Page
Go to /xampp/mysql/bin
and find for mysql. exe
open cmd, change the directory to mysq
after write in cmd
mysql -h localhost -u root
Xampp control panel v2.3.1
I got errors while using -h localhost
mysql -h localhost -u root
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10060)
So, if you installed xampp as is and did not customize any documentroot, serverroot, etc. then the following works :-
start both the services on the xampp control panel
click shell
enter: # mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root
that works just fine.
Below is the logtrail:-
# mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root

To access MySQL in Windows you need to install the XAMPP.
Open the XAMPP Control Panel and start MySQL.
Now go to the command prompt and open
C:\>cd xampp
C:\xampp>cd MySQL
C:\xampp\mysql>cd bin
C:\xampp\mysql\bin>mysql -h localhost -u root
Your database is now ready to be executed.
I had the same issue. Fistly, thats what i have :
win 10
xampp
git bash
and i have done this to fix my problem :
go to search box(PC)
tape this environnement variable
go to 'path' click 'edit'
add this "%systemDrive%\xampp\mysql\bin\" C:\xampp\mysql\bin\
click ok
go to Git Bash and right click it and open it and run as administrator
right this on your Git Bash winpty mysql -u root if your password is empty
or winpty mysql -u root -p if you do have a password
run xampp shell to solve connect to root using pw
mysql -h localhost -u root -p and enter root pw
To access SQL via the command line we simply navigate to the xampp folder.
the folder is usually on the c:\ drive.
type: cd c:\xampp\mysql\bin then press enter.
type: in mysql -u root -p then press enter.
in the new line enter the password of the database.
type: show databases; to see all the databases that you have access to.
once you know what database you want to use type (ex. cms_database), type use cms_data or any other db_name, it should say Database changed
// Bonus Note
you shouldn't use the root user when working with databases. you would want to create a separate account (ex. cms_user) with special privileges to limit errors.
to do that type:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES IN cms_database.*
TO 'cms_user'#'localhost'
IDENTITIED BY 'yourpassword'
double check by using the command:
SHOW GRANT FOR 'cms_user'#localhost;
if you already have the name of the user and the specific database you wish to use, change step 2 to this.
mysql -u cms_user -p cms_database
For windows
cd\xampp\mysql\bin
mysql -u root -p
Just a simple commands for linux to open mysql :
sudo /opt/lampp/bin/mysql
to enter MySQL's command-line interface, I find this:
C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql -u root
for linux users who are getting
Command 'mysql' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install mysql-client-core-8.0 # version 8.0.30-0ubuntu0.20.04.2, or
sudo apt install mariadb-client-core-10.3 # version 1:10.3.34-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
but have xampp installed
you can just add /opt/lampp/bin to your bashrc file and run mysql
