Install ELK with beats to gather metrics
########################################
:tags: openstack, ansible
About this repository
---------------------
This set of playbooks will deploy elk cluster (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana)
with topbeat to gather metrics from hosts metrics to the ELK cluster.
**These playbooks require Ansible 2.4+.**
OpenStack-Ansible Integration
-----------------------------
These playbooks can be used as standalone inventory or as an integrated part of
an OpenStack-Ansible deployment. For a simple example of standalone inventory,
see ``inventory.example.yml``.
Optional | Load balancer VIP address
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In order to use multi-node elasticsearch a loadbalancer is required. Haproxy can
provide the load balancer functionality needed. The option
`internal_lb_vip_address` is used as the endpoint (virtual IP address) services
like Kibana will use when connecting to elasticsearch. If this option is
omitted, the first node in the elasticsearch cluster will be used.
Optional | configure haproxy endpoints
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Edit the `/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml` file and add fiel following
lines
.. code-block:: yaml
haproxy_extra_services:
- service:
haproxy_service_name: kibana
haproxy_ssl: False
haproxy_backend_nodes: "{{ groups['kibana'] | default([]) }}"
haproxy_port: 81 # This is set using the "kibana_nginx_port" variable
haproxy_balance_type: tcp
- service:
haproxy_service_name: elastic-logstash
haproxy_ssl: False
haproxy_backend_nodes: "{{ groups['elastic-logstash'] | default([]) }}"
haproxy_port: 5044 # This is set using the "logstash_beat_input_port" variable
haproxy_balance_type: tcp
- service:
haproxy_service_name: elastic-logstash
haproxy_ssl: False
haproxy_backend_nodes: "{{ groups['elastic-logstash'] | default([]) }}"
haproxy_port: 9201 # This is set using the "elastic_hap_port" variable
haproxy_check_port: 9200 # This is set using the "elastic_port" variable
haproxy_backend_port: 9200 # This is set using the "elastic_port" variable
haproxy_balance_type: tcp
Optional | run the haproxy-install playbook
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: bash
cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks/
openstack-ansible haproxy-install.yml --tags=haproxy-service-config
Deployment Process
------------------
Clone the elk-osa repo
.. code-block:: bash
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-ops
Copy the env.d file into place
.. code-block:: bash
cd /opt/openstack-ansible-ops/elk_metrics_6x
cp env.d/elk.yml /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d/
Copy the conf.d file into place
.. code-block:: bash
cp conf.d/elk.yml /etc/openstack_deploy/conf.d/
In **elk.yml**, list your logging hosts under elastic-logstash_hosts to create
the elasticsearch cluster in multiple containers and one logging host under
kibana_hosts to create the kibana container
.. code-block:: bash
vi /etc/openstack_deploy/conf.d/elk.yml
Create the containers
.. code-block:: bash
cd /opt/openstack-ansible-playbooks
openstack-ansible lxc-containers-create.yml -e 'container_group=elastic-logstash:kibana'
install master/data elasticsearch nodes on the elastic-logstash containers
.. code-block:: bash
cd /opt/openstack-ansible-ops/elk_metrics_6x
openstack-ansible installElastic.yml
Install Logstash on all the elastic containers
.. code-block:: bash
cd /opt/openstack-ansible-ops/elk_metrics_6x
openstack-ansible installLogstash.yml
Install Kibana, nginx reverse proxy and metricbeat on the kibana container
.. code-block:: bash
cd /opt/openstack-ansible-ops/elk_metrics_6x
openstack-ansible installKibana.yml
Install Metricbeat everywhere to start shipping metrics to our logstash
instances
.. code-block:: bash
cd /opt/openstack-ansible-ops/elk_metrics_6x
openstack-ansible installMetricbeat.yml
Adding Grafana visualizations
-----------------------------
See the grafana directory for more information on how to deploy grafana. Once
When deploying grafana, source the variable file from ELK in order to
automatically connect grafana to the Elasticsearch datastore and import
dashboards. Including the variable file is as simple as adding
``-e @../elk_metrics_6x/vars/variables.yml`` to the grafana playbook
run.
Included dashboards
* https://grafana.com/dashboards/5569
* https://grafana.com/dashboards/5566
Trouble shooting
----------------
If everything goes bad, you can clean up with the following command
.. code-block:: bash
openstack-ansible lxc-containers-destroy.yml --limit=kibana:elastic-logstash_all
