Documentation

erwbgy/logstash — version 0.1.1 Apr 22nd 2013

logstash

Install the logstash agent with a configuration file.

To use just:

include logstash

and then specify the location of the config template in hiera - for example:

logstash::config_template: '/etc/puppet/templates/logstash/agent.conf.erb'

Alternatively you call it as a parameterised class:

class { 'logstash':
  config_template => '/etc/puppet/templates/logstash/agent.conf.erb'
}

Installation

Installation assumes that an 'logstash' package is available from the package repository and that the agent configuration file is /etc/logstash/agent.conf. See http://download.bloonix.de/ for pre-built packages for RedHat-like and Debian-like hosts.

Configuration

See http://www.logstash.net/docs/1.1.9/ for documentation on logstash configuration.

By default the following template is used to give you a starting point:

input {                                                                 
  tcp {                                                                 
    format => "json_event"                                              
    host => "<%= @fqdn %>"
    port => 5544                                                        
    type => "awesant"                                                   
  }                                                                     
}                                                                       
filter {                                                                
  grok {                                                                
    match => [ "@timestamp", "^%{DATE_EU:date}" ]                       
    type => "awesant"                                                   
  }                                                                     
}
output {
  file {
    tags => 'syslog-messages'
    message_format => "%{@message}"
    path => "/var/log/logstash/syslog/messages-%{date}.log"
  }
  file {
    tags => 'syslog-secure'
    message_format => "%{@message}"
    path => "/var/log/logstash/syslog/secure-%{date}.log"
  }
}

You can use any facter facts in your template - for example 'fqdn' or a custom fact like 'logstash_host'.
