Redis
Ship Redis Application logs to Logstash
Step 1 - Install Filebeat
deb (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint)
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats//-oss-7.15.1-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i -oss-7.15.1-amd64.deb
rpm (CentOS/RHEL/Fedora)
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats//-oss-7.15.1-x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -vi -oss-7.15.1-x86_64.rpm
macOS
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats//-oss-7.15.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzvf -oss-7.15.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
Windows
- Download the Windows zip file from the official downloads page.
- Extract the contents of the zip file into C:\Program Files.
- Rename the
-<version>-windows
directory to ``. - Open a PowerShell prompt as an Administrator (right-click the PowerShell icon and select Run As Administrator). If you are running Windows XP, you may need to download and install PowerShell.
- Run the following commands to install as a Windows service:
cd 'C:\Program Files\'
.\install-service-.ps1
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-.ps1
.
Step 2 - Locate configuration file
deb/rpm /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml
mac/win <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>/filebeat.yml
Step 3 - Enable the Redis Module
There are several built in filebeat modules you can use. You will need to enable the redis module.
deb/rpm
sudo filebeat modules list
sudo filebeat modules enable redis
macOS
cd <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>
./filebeat modules list
./filebeat modules enable redis
Windows
cd <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>
.\filebeat.exe modules list
.\filebeat.exe modules enable redis
Additional module configuration can be done using the per module config files located in the modules.d folder, most commonly this would be to read logs from a non-default location
deb/rpm /etc/filebeat/modules.d/
mac/win <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>/modules.d/
- module: redis
# Main logs
log:
enabled: true
# Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,
# Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.
#var.paths: ["/var/log/redis/redis-server.log*"]
# Slow logs, retrieved via the Redis API (SLOWLOG)
slowlog:
enabled: true
# The Redis hosts to connect to.
#var.hosts: ["localhost:6379"]
# Optional, the password to use when connecting to Redis.
#var.password:
Step 4 - Configure output
We'll be shipping to Logstash so that we have the option to run filters before the data is indexed.
Comment out the elasticsearch output block.
## Comment out elasticsearch output
#output.elasticsearch:
# hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
Step 5 - Validate configuration
Let's check the configuration file is syntactically correct by running directly inside the terminal.
If the file is invalid, will print an error loading config file
error message with details on how to correct the problem.
deb/rpm
sudo -e -c /etc//.yml
macOS
cd <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>
./ -e -c .yml
Windows
cd <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>
.\.exe -e -c .yml
Step 6 - Start Filebeat
Ok, time to start ingesting data!
deb/rpm
sudo systemctl enable filebeat
sudo systemctl start filebeat
macOS
./filebeat
Windows
PS C:\Program Files\Filebeat> Start-Service filebeat
