Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana

Deploy Elasticsearch

Setup the host node

The vm.max_map_count kernel setting needs to be set to at least 262144 for production use. Make sure the node(s) that will host Elasticsearch have the following config:
sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
Create the data dir:
mkdir /storage/storage-001/mnt-elasticsearch
chown nobody:nogroup /storage/storage-001/mnt-elasticsearch/

Create the namespace

Connect to your kubectl workstation and create the namespace:
kubectl create namespace elk

Create the ConfigMap

Create Elasticsearch config file:
cat <<EOF >>elasticsearch.yml
​
cluster.name: "docker-cluster"
network.host: 0.0.0.0
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1
discovery.type: single-node
​
EOF
Create its ConfigMap:
kubectl -n elk \
create configmap cm-elasticsearch \
--from-file=elasticsearch.yml \
-o yaml --dry-run | kubectl apply -f -
If you need to update the ConfigMap, run:
kubectl -n elk \
create configmap cm-elasticsearch \
--from-file=elasticsearch.yml \
-o yaml --dry-run | kubectl apply -f -
Then run:
kubectl -n elk scale deployment/elasticsearch --replicas=0
kubectl -n elk scale deployment/elasticsearch --replicas=1

Deploy Elasticsearch

Run:
kubectl create -f - <<EOF

Test

Get indices:
curl PUT-YOUR-NODE-IP-HERE:30920
curl PUT-YOUR-NODE-IP-HERE:30920/_cat/indices?v
Post content:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST "http://<HOST>:<PORT>/YOUR-INDEX/YOUR-TYPE/optionalUniqueId" -d "{ \"field\" : \"value\"}"
Another example of post:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{

Deploy Logstash

Create the ConfigMap (config file)

Create the config file:
cat <<EOF >>logstash.yml
​
http.host: "0.0.0.0"
path.config: /usr/share/logstash/pipeline
​
EOF
Create its ConfigMap:
kubectl -n elk \
create configmap cm-config-logstash \
--from-file=logstash.yml \
-o yaml --dry-run | kubectl apply -f -
If you need to update the ConfigMap, run:
kubectl -n elk \
create configmap cm-config-logstash \
--from-file=logstash.yml \
-o yaml --dry-run | kubectl apply -f -
Then run:
kubectl -n elk scale deployment/logstash --replicas=0
kubectl -n elk scale deployment/logstash --replicas=1

Create the ConfigMap (pipeline)

Create the config file:
cat <<EOF >>logstash.conf
​
#input {
# tcp {
# port => 5959
# }
#}
​
input {
http {
port => 5959
response_headers => {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin" => "*"
"Content-Type" => "application/json"
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers" => "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept"
}
}
}
​
## Add your filters / logstash plugins configuration here
​
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "PUT-YOUR-HOST-HERE:PUT-YOUR-PORT-HERE"
}
}
​
EOF
Replace output.elasticsearch.hosts with your Elasticsearch host and port.
Create its ConfigMap:
kubectl -n elk \
create configmap cm-pipeline-logstash \
--from-file=logstash.conf \
-o yaml --dry-run | kubectl apply -f -
If you need to update the ConfigMap, run:
kubectl -n elk \
