filebeat Cookbook

Cookbook Build Status

This is a Chef cookbook to manage Filebeat.

For Production environment, always prefer the most recent release.

Most Recent Release

cookbook 'filebeat', '~> 0.4.5'

From Git

cookbook 'filebeat', github: 'vkhatri/chef-filebeat',  tag: 'v0.4.5'

Repository

https://github.com/vkhatri/chef-filebeat

Supported OS

This cookbook was tested on Windows, Amazon & Ubuntu Linux and expected to work on other RHEL platforms.

This also works on Solaris zones given a physical Solaris 11.2 server. For that, use the .kitchen.zone.yml file. Check usage at (https://github.com/criticalmass/kitchen-zone). You will need an url to a filebeat package that works on Solaris 11.2. Checkout Building-Filebeat-On-Solaris11.md for instructions to build a filebeat package.

Major Changes

v0.2.5

  • Removed default output configuration attributes for elasticsearch, logstash and file
  • Removed attributed default['filebeat']['enable_localhost_output'] as default output attributes are disabled

How to Add Filebeat Prospectors via Node Attribute

Individual prospectors configuration file can be added using attribute default['filebeat']['prospectors']. Each prospector configuration will
be created as a different yaml file under default['filebeat']['prospector_dir'] with prefix prospector-

  "default_attributes": {
    "filebeat": {
      "prospectors": {
        "system_logs": {
          "filebeat": {
            "prospectors": [
              {
                "paths": [
                  "/var/log/messages",
                  "/var/log/syslog"
                ],
                "type": "log",
                "fields": {
                  "type": "system_logs"
                }
              }
            ]
          }
        },
        "secure_logs": {
          "filebeat": {
            "prospectors": [
              {
                "paths": [
                  "/var/log/secure",
                  "/var/log/auth.log"
                ],
                "type": "log",
                "fields": {
                  "type": "secure_logs"
                }
              }
            ]
          }
        },
        "apache_logs": {
          "filebeat": {
            "prospectors": [
              {
                "paths": [
                  "/var/log/apache/*.log"
                ],
                "type": "log",
                "ignore_older": "24h",
                "scan_frequency": "15s",
                "harvester_buffer_size": 16384,
                "fields": {
                  "type": "apache_logs"
                }
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
