ActiveMQ Logs

Ship logs from a ActiveMQ message queue to logstash

Filebeat is a lightweight shipper that enables you to send your ActiveMQ message queue logs to Logstash and Elasticsearch. Configure Filebeat using the pre-defined examples below to start sending and analysing your ActiveMQ message queue logs.

Step 1 - Configure the input.conf

Create the 00_input.conf file

  input {
    jms {
      broker_url => 'failover:(tcp://{yourhost}:61616)?initialReconnectDelay=100'
      destination => 'yourdestination'
      factory => 'org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory'
      username => 'your-username'
      password => 'your-password'
      require_jars => ['/usr/share/jms/activemq-all-{version}.jar']
    }
  }

Step 2 - Configure the output

Create the 95_output.conf file to use tcp

  output {
    tcp {
        codec => json_lines
        host => "your-logstash-host"
        port => your-ssl-port
        ssl_enable => true
      }
    }

Step 3 - Configure the log4j2.properties

Create the log4j2.properties file

status = error

appender.console.type = Console
appender.console.name = console
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern = [%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c{1.}] %marker%m%n

rootLogger.level = info
rootLogger.appenderRef.console.ref = console

Step 4 - Install Logstash

Docker (/Ubuntu/Mac)

Create the Dockerfile

FROM docker.elastic.co/logstash-oss:$version

Run  logstash-plugin install logstash-input-jms

Build the docker image

docker build -t $Image_name:version .

Run the image

  docker run -d --name ls \
    -v $(pwd)/config/log4j2.properties:/etc/logstash/log4j2.properties:ro \
    -v path_to_configuration_files:/cusdata:rw \
    -p 9600:9600 \
    -p 5044:5044 \
    -p 3389:3389 \
    logit/logstash:6.8.4 \
    /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f '/cusdata/*.conf' \
    --config.reload.automatic \
    --http.host=0.0.0.0
