log monitor system logstash fluentd

  • In this case, Elasticsearch. And because Elasticsearch can be down or struggling, or the network can be down, the shipper would ideally be able to buffer and retry
  • Logstash is typically used for collecting, parsing, and storing logs for future use as part of log management.
  • Logstash’s biggest con or “Achille’s heel” has always been performance and resource consumption (the default heap size is 1GB).
  • ...37 more annotations...
  • This can be a problem for high traffic deployments, when Logstash servers would need to be comparable with the Elasticsearch ones.
  • Filebeat was made to be that lightweight log shipper that pushes to Logstash or Elasticsearch.
  • differences between Logstash and Filebeat are that Logstash has more functionality, while Filebeat takes less resources.
  • Filebeat is just a tiny binary with no dependencies.
  • For example, how aggressive it should be in searching for new files to tail and when to close file handles when a file didn’t get changes for a while.
  • For example, the apache module will point Filebeat to default access.log and error.log paths
  • Filebeat’s scope is very limited,
  • Initially it could only send logs to Logstash and Elasticsearch, but now it can send to Kafka and Redis, and in 5.x it also gains filtering capabilities.
  • Filebeat can parse JSON
  • you can push directly from Filebeat to Elasticsearch, and have Elasticsearch do both parsing and storing.
  • You shouldn’t need a buffer when tailing files because, just as Logstash, Filebeat remembers where it left off
  • For larger deployments, you’d typically use Kafka as a queue instead, because Filebeat can talk to Kafka as well
  • The default syslog daemon on most Linux distros, rsyslog can do so much more than just picking logs from the syslog socket and writing to /var/log/messages.
  • It can tail files, parse them, buffer (on disk and in memory) and ship to a number of destinations, including Elasticsearch.
  • rsyslog is the fastest shipper
  • Its grammar-based parsing module (mmnormalize) works at constant speed no matter the number of rules (we tested this claim).
  • use it as a simple router/shipper, any decent machine will be limited by network bandwidth
  • It’s also one of the lightest parsers you can find, depending on the configured memory buffers.
  • rsyslog requires more work to get the configuration right
  • the main difference between Logstash and rsyslog is that Logstash is easier to use while rsyslog lighter.
  • rsyslog fits well in scenarios where you either need something very light yet capable (an appliance, a small VM, collecting syslog from within a Docker container).
  • rsyslog also works well when you need that ultimate performance.
  • syslog-ng as an alternative to rsyslog (though historically it was actually the other way around).
  • a modular syslog daemon, that can do much more than just syslog
  • Unlike rsyslog, it features a clear, consistent configuration format and has nice documentation.
  • Similarly to rsyslog, you’d probably want to deploy syslog-ng on boxes where resources are tight, yet you do want to perform potentially complex processing.
  • syslog-ng has an easier, more polished feel than rsyslog, but likely not that ultimate performance
  • Fluentd was built on the idea of logging in JSON wherever possible (which is a practice we totally agree with) so that log shippers down the line don’t have to guess which substring is which field of which type.
  • Fluentd plugins are in Ruby and very easy to write.
  • structured data through Fluentd, it’s not made to have the flexibility of other shippers on this list (Filebeat excluded).
  • Fluent Bit, which is to Fluentd similar to how Filebeat is for Logstash.
  • Fluentd is a good fit when you have diverse or exotic sources and destinations for your logs, because of the number of plugins.
  • Splunk isn’t a log shipper, it’s a commercial logging solution
  • Graylog is another complete logging solution, an open-source alternative to Splunk.
  • everything goes through graylog-server, from authentication to queries.
  • Graylog is nice because you have a complete logging solution, but it’s going to be harder to customize than an ELK stack.
  • it depends

Best practices for building Kubernetes Operators and stateful apps | Google Cloud Blog - 0 views

kubernetes system operator

shared by 張 旭 on 17 May 21 - No Cached
  • use the StatefulSet workload controller to maintain identity for each of the pods, and to use Persistent Volumes to persist data so it can survive a service restart.
  • a way to extend Kubernetes functionality with application specific logic using custom resources and custom controllers.
  • An Operator can automate various features of an application, but it should be specific to a single application
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Kubebuilder is a comprehensive development kit for building and publishing Kubernetes APIs and Controllers using CRDs
  • Design declarative APIs for operators, not imperative APIs. This aligns well with Kubernetes APIs that are declarative in nature.
  • With declarative APIs, users only need to express their desired cluster state, while letting the operator perform all necessary steps to achieve it.
  • scaling, backup, restore, and monitoring. An operator should be made up of multiple controllers that specifically handle each of the those features.
  • the operator can have a main controller to spawn and manage application instances, a backup controller to handle backup operations, and a restore controller to handle restore operations.
  • each controller should correspond to a specific CRD so that the domain of each controller's responsibility is clear.
  • If you keep a log for every container, you will likely end up with unmanageable amount of logs.
  • integrate application-specific details to the log messages such as adding a prefix for the application name.
  • you may have to use external logging tools such as Google Stackdriver, Elasticsearch, Fluentd, or Kibana to perform the aggregations.
  • adding labels to metrics to facilitate aggregation and analysis by monitoring systems.
  • a more viable option is for application pods to expose a metrics HTTP endpoint for monitoring tools to scrape.
  • A good way to achieve this is to use open-source application-specific exporters for exposing Prometheus-style metrics.

在 EKS 中实现基于 Promtail + Loki + Grafana 容器日志解决方案 - 0 views

  • Grafana大家应该都比较熟悉，它是一款开源的可视化和分析软件，它允许用户查询、可视化、警告和探索监控指标。Grafana主要提供时间序列数据的仪表板解决方案，支持超过数十种数据源（还在陆续添加支持中）
  • Grafana Loki是一组可以组成一个功能齐全的日志堆栈组件，与其它日志系统不同的是，Loki只建立日志标签的索引而不索引原始日志消息，而是为日志数据设置一组标签，这意味着Loki的运营成本更低，效率也能提高几个数量级。
  • Loki整体架构也是由不同的组件来协同完成日志收集、索引、存储等工作
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • 一句话形容下Loki就是like Prometheus, but for logs。
  • Promtail是一个日志收集的代理，它会将本地日志的内容发送到一个Loki实例，它通常部署到需要监视应用程序的每台机器/容器上。Promtail主要是用来发现目标、将标签附加到日志流以及将日志推送到Loki。
  • Loki中的日志带有一组标签名和值，其中只有标签对被索引，这种权衡使得它比完整索引的操作成本更低，但是针对基于内容的查询，需要通过LogQL再单独查询。
  • 和Fluentd相比，Promtail是专门为Loki量身定制的，它可以为运行在同一节点上的Kubernetes Pods做服务发现，从指定文件夹读取日志。
  • 亚马逊云科技也提供了Grafana和Prometheus的托管服务Amazon Managed Service for Grafana（AMG）和Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus（AMP）
