Local Development

Generic Logstash pipeline for ELK stack.

hashtag
Adding pipelines and configs

To add Logstash config files, you can add files into the <path to project packages>/data-mapper-logstash/pipeline.

hashtag
Developing the Logstash configs locally

When seeking to make changes to the Logstash configs without having to repeatedly start and stop the service, one can set the LOGSTASH_DEV_MOUNT env var in your .env file to true to attach the service's config files to those on your local machine.

hashtag
Cluster

When attaching Logstash to an Elasticsearch cluster ensure you use the ES_HOSTS environment variable. eg. ES_HOSTS="analytics-datastore-elastic-search-1:9200","analytics-datastore-elastic-search-2:9200","analytics-datastore-elastic-search-3:9200" and reference it in your logstash configs eg. hosts => [$ES_HOSTS]

hashtag
Notes

  • With LOGSTASH_DEV_MOUNT=true, you have to set the LOGSTASH_PACKAGE_PATH variable with the absolute path to package containing your Logstash config files, i.e., LOGSTASH_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/user/Documents/Projects/platform/data-mapper-logstash.

  • WARNING: do not edit the pipeline files from within the Logstash container, or the group ID and user ID will change, and subsequently will result in file permission errors on your local file system.
