• Node exporter & cAdvisor
• Nginx
• ElastAlert

Feature

• "Elastic" log monitoring pipeline with Elastic Stack and Kafka
  • Full support for global deploy Elasticsearch cluster without any hard coding
  • Full support for Elasticsearch security
  • Integrate with Elastic Agent & Fleet
  • Logstash configuration example
  • Nginx Proxy for Elasticsearch
  • Real-time alteration system using ElastAlert
• Monitor Docker Swarm nodes & services with Prometheus & Grafana
  • Collect Swarm metrics with Node exporter & cAdvisor
  • Two AWESOME basic dashboard
• Shell Script for easy use of monitoring stack

Setup

Require: Linux with Docker & Docker Compose installed and Docker Swarm cluster

If you don't know how, BASIC_GUIDE.md will help you.

1. Increase vm.max_map_count for Elasticsearch

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

# systemctl.conf
vm.max_map_count=262144

sysctl -p

2. Set daemon.json to expose docker daemon metrics for monitor container

vi /etc/docker/daemon.json

# daemon.json
{
  "metrics-addr" : "0.0.0.0:9323",
  "experimental" : true
}

3. Run Filebeat at server to be monitored

Read filebeat/README.md

4. Run Kafka server

Read kafka/README.md

5. Set Logstash input to Kafka server

You must change the kafka bootstrap_servers in logstash.yml to the IP of the kafka server.

# logstash/config/logstash.yml

input {
    kafka {
        bootstrap_servers => "your_kafka_server_ip:9094"
        topics => ["test_topic"]
        codec => json
        decorate_events => true
    }
}

6. Set up security for Elasticsearch

Basic security must be set to use all the features of Elasticsearch.

Follow these minimal security and basic security docs to complete the security settings and transfer the issued certificate to ./elasticsearch/config.

If you don't need security, turn off the security at elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml.

7. Setup security for fleet server

After set up the basic security, you should create certificates for fleet server.

Follow this self-managed setup guide to set up server and create the certificates and transfer it to ./fleet-server.

It's not essential. If you don't want to use it, you can remove the Fleet server setting.

Run

You can just use shell script monitor_service.sh to run the monitoring system easily.

sh monitor_service.sh start
sh monitor_service.sh stop
sh monitor_service.sh restart
sh monitor_service.sh status
sh monitor_service.sh logs {service name}
sh monitor_service.sh update {service name}
