$ sudo firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=5044/tcp –permanent $ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp –dport 5044 -j ACCEPT This is mandatory step to avoid connectivity issues between Filebeat and logstash One important thing is to open the port for the logstash. But need to make sure that the same port number is specified in the hosts section of filebeat.yml file as well. You can provide any port number available. Start logstash using the following command The input section should have the beats configured as in the image. For that open the nf file in the bin directory of logstash Next we need to make sure that logstash is listening to the filebeats events as input.

logstash-plugin install logstash-input-beats Change the directory to /bin of logstash installation path.The beats plugin enables logstash to receive and interpret the events sent from Filebeats system. We need to have a plugin installed in logstash that will enable the communication with filebeat and set logstash to listen to a port for filebeat events. The configuration requirement in logstash is relatively simple. NOTE : nohup is used to make sure that the program does not hang up when you close the SSH session. You can get filebeat to log the content by specifying a log file name instead of /dev/null I am redirecting the logs to /dev/null as I found that the logs generated by filebeat for each line of log shipped is big and for a high traffic system the logs were getting really huge. In that case make sure that the filepaths are absolute for the filebeat and filebeat.yml files You may also make this as a script and then run from a different location. You need to run this command from the Filebeat installation directory. filebeat -e -c filebeat.yml -d “publish” > /dev/null 2>&1 & Once the configurations are done, we can start Filebeat by running the following command. This need to be the same port we are configuring the logstash in nf file Starting Filebeat

The host name is system where the logstash is running and port is the port on which logstash is listening to events from Filebeat.

As of this writing, Filebeat is 5.1.1 version and I am the link for Linux 64 bit.Įxtract the files from the archive using the command

But the steps are almost similar for other platforms as well.įirst off, download the latest file beat zip or tar.gz file from the Filebeat download page. Please note that I am using a RHEL CentOS based server and the installation instructions would be based on that platform. We will start with the configuration of the Filebeat. First we need to download the latest filebeat application and install in the application servers where the logs are getting generated.

We need to configure Logstash also to listen and receive the events from Filebeat. In this post, we will see how we can configure Filebeat to post data to Logstash server. Filebeat connects using the IP address and the socket on which Logstash is listening for the Filebeat events. Filebeat helps you keep the simple things simple by offering a lightweight way to forward and centralize logs and files.īasically, what it means is that ,Filebeat can reside in the application server and then monitor a folder location to send the logs as events to Logstash running in the ELK Server. Forget using SSH when you have tens, hundreds, or even thousands of servers, virtual machines, and containers generating logs.
