日志分析平台ELK之日志收集器filebeat

  前面我们了解了elk集群中的logstash的用法,使用logstash处理日志挺好的,但是有一个缺陷,就是太慢了;当然logstash慢的原因是它依赖jruby虚拟机,jruby虚拟机就是用java语言开发的ruby虚拟机,本身java程序运行在jvm上就已经很慢了,而logstash还要运行在用java语言开发的ruby虚拟机上,就相当于虚拟机上跑一个虚拟机,可想而知;如果我们只需要收集和处理日志,在agent端如果运行logstash,显得格外的消耗资源;为了解决这种问题,elastic开发了一款更加轻量级的日志收集器beats;而filebeat只是其中的一种,它是基于收集本地日志文件中的内容,然后输出到某个地方;中间不会对日志做过多的处理;有点类似rsyslog,只做日志转发;如果我们需要对日志做处理,我们可以把filebeat的输出源配置成logstash,让logstash运行在一个独立的服务器上,专门做日志处理;

  filebeat收集日志过程

  提示:以上是filebeat收集日志,然后把日志转发给logstash进行分析,然后logstash把filebeat发送过来的日志,做切词,分析,处理以后,然后在把日志发送给elasticsearch存储;

  提示:如果后端的filebeat一旦增多,logstash的压力会非常大,为了解决这样的问题,我们可在中间加redis是做临时缓存;然后logstash就到redis里读日志;然后再把读到的日志存储到elasticsearch中;当然filebeat也是可以直接将日志数据发送给elasticsearch进行存储;

[root@node03 ~]# 

  示例:配置filebeat收集httpd的日志,然后将收集的日志输出到logstash

  提示:以上配置表示开启filebeat插件收集/var/log/httpd/access_log中的日志;

  提示:以上配置表示把filebeat收集的日志发送给node03:5044;

  配置node03的logstash输入数据监听5044端口

  提示:以上配置表示启动logstash中的beats插件作为数据输入,并监听5044端口;然后logstash将处理后端日志数据输出到标准输出;

  启动filebeat和logstash

  提示:可以看到logstash启动时,它监听5044端口;

  用其他主机模拟互联网用户访问node03的httpd提供的页面

[root@node01 ~]# curl -H "X-Forwarded-For:$[$RANDOM%223+1].$[RANDOM%255].$[RANDOM%255].$[RANDOM%255]" //node03/test$[$RANDOM%20+1].html
page 18
[root@node01 ~]# 

  在node03的logstash的标准输出上,看看是否收集到httpd的访问日志?

  提示:在node03的标准输出上能够看到我们刚才访问httpd的访问日志;

  示例:配置filebeat将日志输出到elasticsearch

  重启filebeat

  验证:访问httpd看看elasticsearch中是否有保存httpd的访问日志?

  在elasticsearch中查看是否有新的index生成?

  提示:可以看到es上有一个新的index生成;

  查看es上存储的日志内容

  提示:从上面的返回的日志,存放在es中的日志并没有做拆分,说明filebeat只是把httpd的日志当作message字段的值处理,并没有去把ip地址信息做拆分;所以要想实现把日志内容拆分成不同字段,我们可以借助logstash,当然也可以在httpd上直接将日志格式记录为json格式,然后再由filebeat将日志信息传给es存储;

  示例:配置filebeat将收集的日志信息输出到redis

 

  提示:以上配置是配置filebeat将收集到的日志输出到redis;这里需要注意一点,这个配置文件是yml格式的文件,需要注意下面的缩进关系要对其;其次filebeat它不支持多路输出,例如,配置filebeat 输出到logstash,又配置filebeat输出到redis,这个它不支持,它支持单路输出;

   重新启动filebeat

  用其他主机模拟访问httpd

  验证:去node04上的redis 3号库查看是否有key生成?是否有数据?

  提示:可以看到此时redis的3号库有指定key生成,对应key里面也存了httpd的访问日志;

  配置logstash到redis上读数据,并删除filebeat的冗余字段

[root@node03 ~]# cat /etc/logstash/conf.d/httpd-es.conf
input {
    redis {
        host => ["node04"]
        port => 6379
        password => "admin"
        key => "filebeat-node03-httpd-access_log"
        db => 3
        data_type => "list"
    }
}

filter {
    grok {
        match => {"message" => "%{HTTPD_COMBINEDLOG}" }
        remove_field => "message"
    }
    date {
        match => ["timestamp","dd/MMM/YYYY:H:m:s Z"]
        remove_field => "timestamp"
    }
    geoip {
        source => "clientip"
        target => "geoip"
        database => "/etc/logstash/geoip/GeoLite2-City.mmdb"
    }
    mutate {
        rename => ["geoip", "clientipInfo" ]
        remove_field => ["@metadata","prospector","input","beat","host","id","containerized"]
    }
}

output {
#    elasticsearch {
#       hosts => ["//node01:9200","//node02:9200"]
#       index => "httpd.log"
#       codec => "rubydebug"
#    }
    stdout { codec => "rubydebug" }
}

[root@node03 ~]# 

  测试语法

  启动logstash

  查看输出到标准输出的日志信息是否还有filebeat生成的多余字段?

  提示:现在从redis读出来的数据,然后经由logstash处理以后,filebeat生成的多余字段就删除了;后续我们就可以直接将这些日志数据放到es中存储;
