Using Elasticsearch 7.3 on CentOS 7 and Java version 11, I need to parse and find specific Error/Exception in Java Application log files, wondering if I should use Filebeat or Metricbeat to parse and ship some text patterns in log files to Elastic?
Sample code to show how to parse/ship specific error pattern is very helpful.
Any help is appreciated.
Filebeat is for logs.
To make your life easier, I'd use a structured log format. We have just released https://github.com/elastic/java-ecs-logging which ties right into Elasticsearch and also provides the right Filebeat configuration.

We are using Alluxio(alluxio-2.8.1), and very curious to see and understand what version of log4j used in it. Please suggest where we can get that information.
According to this url https://github.com/Alluxio/alluxio/blob/master/pom.xml, log4j version may be 2.17.1.
Secondly, in the archive, you can found assembly director, extract some-thing-server.jar and find log4j class.
Thirdly, may be you can extract from running log, or set log to DEBUG
I am looking for the utility to convert log4j.xml to log4j2.xml syntax is there any utility available
At first I was going to respond that this cannot be done but it might be somewhat possible.
Log4j 2.13.0 added experimental support for using Log4j 1.x configuration files. If your configuration is compatible, in theory you could start up an application using a Log4j 1.x configuration and then call getRootNode() on the AbstractConfiguration. The root node is very similar to a DOM tree so walking it and converting it to XML wouldn't be too hard. However, Log4j doesn't have a tool provided to do this. Contributions are welcome!
Hi everyone!
I have "ELK" (6.4.2) working perfectly with filebeat, metricbeat, packetbeat and winlogbeat in CentOS 7 x86_64 (Kernel 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64).
I'm trying to integrate zipkin + elk (see https://logz.io/blog/zipkin-elk/), but Elasticsearch does not create indices with Kibana.
When trying to create the indices in Kibana, the process does not end. (Follow logs below).
I suspect the zipkin connection drivers are not compatible with elk 6.4.2. Has anyone had the same problem and has a "light at the end of the tunnel"?
Tks for all!

Here is the related issue:
we also mentioned recently that for data to appear, applications need to be
sending traces
https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin#quick-start
you can tell also by hitting the /metrics endpoint and look at stats named
collector

I opened a issue on the zipkin github, a theme already being treated as a bug.

What Log4J version is Tibco BusinessWorks 5 using?
And can I use the NoSQL appenders in that version? Can it be done without installing the Log4J 1-2 bridge?
Later update: It seems that so far changing the Log4J configuration file does not have too much effect. See Changing Log4J configuration in Tibco BW/Designer does not have the desired effect.
You should be able to find it from below location of your TIBCO products installation.
Go to ../tibco/tpcl/<version>/lib and look for `log4j.jar
And you do not have to install log4j explicitly.
I believe, you should be able to add your required appender in the file ../tibco/bw/<version>/lib/log4j.properties. Also there is `lo4j.xml in case properties file does have worked. Try it out.
Just to complement Rao's response, you also need to add to restart your engines and make sure you added an appender to the right logger, namely bw.logger from either the log4j.properties or log4j.xmlfile.
This is not possible with internal Tibco logging. Only Java activities can use custom loggers.
I have followed this guide to configure ElasticSearch 2.3.0, Logstash 2.3.0, Kibana 4.5.0 to get logs from my pfsense 2.3:
http://pfelk.3ilson.com/
My problem is that I use pfsense 2.3 and this tutorial is for pfsense 2.2. Logs are received and showed correctly by Kibana, but the format and the Available Fields are not all that I need to do a dashboard.
Where can I find a grok compatible with pfsense 2.3?
Thank you
Finally I found out that the problema was my pfSense. I tried with another one and now eveything Works fine!
