KIBANA WEB INTERFACE



Shipping nginx access logs to LogStash

A centralized web interface for grepping and filtering logs.

At Commando.io, we’ve always wanted a web interface to allow us to grep and filter through our nginx access logs in a friendly manner. After researching a bit, we decided to go with LogStash and use Kibana as the web front-end for ElasticSearch.
LogStash is a free and open source tool for managing events and logs. You can use it to collect logs, parse them, and store them for later.
First, let’s setup our centralized log server. This server will listen for events using Redis as a broker and send the events to ElasticSearch.
The following guide assumes that you are running CentOS 6.4 x64.

Centralized Log Server

cd $HOME
# Get ElasticSearch 0.9.1, add as a service, and autostart
sudo yum -y install java-1.7.0-openjdk
wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.90.1.zip
unzip elasticsearch-0.90.1.zip
rm -rf elasticsearch-0.90.1.zip
mv elasticsearch-0.90.1 elasticsearch
sudo mv elasticsearch /usr/local/share
cd /usr/local/share
sudo chmod 755 elasticsearch
cd $HOME
curl -L http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-servicewrapper/tarball/master | tar -xz
sudo mv *servicewrapper*/service /usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/
rm -Rf *servicewrapper*
sudo /usr/local/share/elasticsearch/bin/service/elasticsearch install
sudo service elasticsearch start
sudo chkconfig elasticsearch on
# Add the required prerequisite remi yum repository
sudo rpm —import http://rpms.famillecollet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi
sudo rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
sed -i ‘0,/enabled=0/s//enabled=1/’ /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo
# Install Redis and autostart
sudo yum -y install redis
sudo service redis start
sudo chkconfig redis on
# Install LogStash
wget http://logstash.objects.dreamhost.com/release/logstash-1.1.13-flatjar.jar
sudo mkdir —-parents /usr/local/bin/logstash
sudo mv logstash-1.1.13-flatjar.jar /usr/local/bin/logstash/logstash.jar
# Create LogStash configuration file
cd /etc
sudo touch logstash.conf
Use the following LogStash configuration for the centralized server:

# Contents of /etc/logstash.conf
input {
redis {
host => “127.0.0.1"
port => 6379
type => “redis-input”
data_type => “list”
key => “logstash”
format => “json_event”
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
host => “127.0.0.1"
}
}
Finally, let’s start LogStash on the centralized server:

/usr/bin/java -jar /usr/local/bin/logstash/logstash.jar agent —config /etc/logstash.conf -w 1
In production, you’ll most likely want to setup a service for LogStash instead of starting it manually each time. The following init.d service script should do the trick (it is what we use).
Woo Hoo, if you’ve made it this far, give yourself a big round of applause. Maybe grab a frosty adult beverage.
Now, let’s setup each nginx web server.

Nginx Servers

cd $HOME
# Install Java
sudo yum -y install java-1.7.0-openjdk
# Install LogStash
wget http://logstash.objects.dreamhost.com/release/logstash-1.1.13-flatjar.jar
sudo mkdir —-parents /usr/local/bin/logstash
sudo mv logstash-1.1.13-flatjar.jar /usr/local/bin/logstash/logstash.jar
# Create LogStash configuration file
cd /etc
sudo touch logstash.conf
Use the following LogStash configuration for each nginx server:

# Contents of /etc/logstash.conf
input {
file {
type => “nginx_access”
path => [“/var/log/nginx/**”]
exclude => [“*.gz”, “error.*”]
discover_interval => 10
}
}
filter {
grok {
type => nginx_access
pattern => “%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}”
}
}
output {
redis { host => “hostname-of-centralized-log-server” data_type => “list” key => “logstash” }
}
Start LogStash on each nginx server:

/usr/bin/java -jar /usr/local/bin/logstash/logstash.jar agent —config /etc/logstash.conf -w 2
Kibana - A Beautiful Web Interface

At this point, you’ve got your nginx web servers shipping their access logs to a centralized log server via Redis. The centralized log server is churning away, processing the events from Redis and storing them into ElasticSearch.
All that is left is to setup a web interface to interact with the data in ElasticSearch. The clear choice for this is Kibana. Even though LogStash comes with its own web interface, it is highly recommended to use Kibana instead. In-fact, the folks that maintain LogStash recommend Kibana and are going to be deprecating their web interface in the near future. Moral of the story… Use Kibana.
On your centralized log server, get and install Kibana.

cd $HOME
# Install Ruby
yum -y install ruby
# Install Kibana
wget https://github.com/rashidkpc/Kibana/archive/v0.2.0.zip
unzip v0.2.0
rm -rf v0.2.0
sudo mv Kibana-0.2.0 /srv/kibana
# Edit Kibana configuration file
cd /srv/kibana
sudo nano KibanaConfig.rb
# Set Elasticsearch = “localhost:9200"
sudo gem install bundler
sudo bundle install
# Start Kibana
ruby kibana.rb
Simply open up your browser and navigate to http://hostname-of-centralized-log-server:5601 and you should see the Kibana interface load right up.

Again, here is our init.d service script that we use.
Congratulations, your now shipping your nginx access logs like a boss to ElasticSearch and using the Kibana web interface to grep and filter them.
