Importing Apache logs in ElasticSearch
I needed some way to visualize and analyze logs from webservers.
So, I decided to use the "elasticsearch stack" for that:
Setting up ElasticSearch
Just download, untar and launch:
wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-1.1.1.tar.gz tar xzvf elasticsearch-1.1.1.tar.gz cd elasticsearch-1.1.1 ./bin/elasticsearch
Check if everything is ok:
http localhost:9200
Importing logs to ElasticSearch
I used LogStash to import the logs from file to ElasticSearch. That required a bit of configuration.
First, download & unpack logstash:
wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/logstash/logstash/logstash-1.4.0 ...
