Ubuntu上的Logstash-Elasticsearch-Kibana设置

Question

I am trying to setup ELK stack on my ubuntu Sandbox and struck with some issue. The issue is Logstash is not sending data to Elasticsearch. I referred the Elasticsearch documentation.

Looks like Kibana and Elasticsearch connectivity is working fine, I think what Kibana is reporting is it can't find the data. Spent couple of hours to figure out but no luck...

Appreciate any to fix this issue. Thank you very much!

Here are my setup details,

Logstash Setup:

sirishg@sirishg-vm:/u02/app/logstash-2.1.1/bin$ ./logstash -f /u02/app/logstash-2.1.1/first-pipeline.conf 
Settings: Default filter workers: 1
Logstash startup completed

first-pipeline.conf:

        # The #  character at the beginning of a line indicates a comment. Use comments to describe your configuration.
    input {
        file {
            path => "/u02/app/logstash-tutorial-dataset.log"
            start_position => beginning
        }
    }
    filter {
        grok {
            match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}"}
        }
        geoip {
            source => "clientip"
        }
    }
    output {
        elasticsearch {
         hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
        }
        stdout {
         codec => rubydebug
        }
    }

Answer 1

Have you been able to get this to work? Some comments:

1) The fact that you have kibana running on "0.0.0.0" sometimes is a sign of something going wrong, check configuration and connectivity with elasticsearch.

2) what index are you putting the information into? logstash*?

3) If everything else fails, update to current 2.3.* (Elasticsearch) and 4.4.* (Kibana).

4) In order to have logstash actually capture the file and read it (and therefore send the data to Elasticsearch) you should write the file again (change file creation / modification timestamps). That part does not always comes easy, as logstash (the file input-input) actually keeps like a pointer to the last line added to the file, or something.

You probably got it working by now, so maybe I am blowing in the wind, but on the other hand maybe this can help someone.
