Filebeat基本概念

简介

Filebeat是一种轻量级日志采集器，内置有多种模块（auditd、Apache、Nginx、System、MySQL等），针对常见格式的日志大大简化收集、解析和可视化过程，只需一条命令即可。之所以能实现这一点，是因为它将自动默认路径（因操作系统而异）与Elasticsearch采集节点管道的定义和Kibana仪表板组合在一起。不仅如此，数个Filebeat模块还包括预配置的 Machine Learning 任务。另一点需要声明的是：根据采集的数据形式不同，形成了由多个模块组成的Beats。Beats是开源数据传输程序集，可以将其作为代理安装在服务器上，将操作数据发送给Elasticsearch，或者通过Logstash，在Kibana中可视化数据之前，在Logstash中进一步处理和增强数据。

Beats组成模块如下：

日志格式	采集所需组件框架	备注
Audit data	Auditbeat	轻量型审计日志采集器
Log files	Filebeat	轻量型日志采集器
Availability	Heartbeat	轻量型运行时间监控采集器
Metrics	Metribeat	轻量型指标采集器
Network traffic	Packetbeat	轻量型网络数据采集器
Windows event logs	Winlogbeat	轻量型Windows事件日志采集器

Filebeat特点

• 轻量型日志采集器，占用资源更少，对机器配置要求极低。
• 操作简便，可将采集到的日志信息直接发送到ES集群、Logstash、Kafka集群等消息队列中。
• 异常中断重启后会继续上次停止的位置。（通过${filebeat_home}\data\registry文件来记录日志的偏移量）。
• 使用压力敏感协议（backpressure-sensitive）来传输数据，在logstash忙的时候，Filebeat会减慢读取-传输速度，一旦logstash恢复，则Filebeat恢复原来的速度。
• Filebeat带有内部模块（auditd，Apache，Nginx，System和MySQL)，可通过一个指定命令来简化通用日志格式的收集、解析和可视化。

bin/logstash -e 'input { stdin{} } output { stdout{} }'

Filebeat与Logstash对比

• Filebeat是轻量级数据托运者，您可以在服务器上将其作为代理安装，以将特定类型的操作数据发送到Elasticsearch。与Logstash相比，其占用空间小，使用的系统资源更少。
• Logstash具有更大的占用空间，但提供了大量的输入，过滤和输出插件，用于收集，丰富和转换来自各种来源的数据。
• Logstash是使用Java编写，插件是使用jruby编写，对机器的资源要求会比较高。在采集日志方面，对CPU、内存上都要比Filebeat高很多。

Filebeat安装

Filebeat本身对机器性能要求不高，采集数据后采用http请求发送数据。

通过修改filebeat.yml文件

###################### Filebeat Configuration Example ########################## This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common
# options. The filebeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains all the
# supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.

# These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading
# the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the
# options here or by using the `setup` command.
#setup.dashboards.enabled: false# The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL
# has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released
# versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the artifacts.elastic.co

# This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.

#monitoring.enabled: false# Sets the UUID of the Elasticsearch cluster under which monitoring data for this
# Filebeat instance will appear in the Stack Monitoring UI. If output.elasticsearch
# is enabled, the UUID is derived from the Elasticsearch cluster referenced by output.elasticsearch.
#monitoring.cluster_uuid:# Uncomment to send the metrics to Elasticsearch. Most settings from the
# Elasticsearch output are accepted here as well.
# Note that the settings should point to your Elasticsearch *monitoring* cluster.
# Any setting that is not set is automatically inherited from the Elasticsearch
# output configuration, so if you have the Elasticsearch output configured such
# that it is pointing to your Elasticsearch monitoring cluster, you can simply
# uncomment the following line.
