1, Preface overview and basic theory

1.1 ELK system introduction

  • ELK log analysis system is composed of Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana
    • Elasticsearch: open source distributed search engine. Features: distributed, zero configuration, automatic discovery, automatic index fragmentation, index copy mechanism, restful style interface, multiple data sources, automatic search load, etc
    • Logstash: it is a completely open source tool that can collect and filter our logs. And store it for later use
    • Kibana: it's also an open source and free tool. Kibana can provide a friendly log analysis Web interface for Logstash and Elasticsearch, which can help us summarize, analyze and search important data logs

1.2 working principle of elk log

  • Log stash collects the logs generated by the AppServer and stores them in the Elastic Search cluster, while Kibana queries the data from the ES cluster, generates charts, and then returns them to the Browser.
  • To put it simply, you need to go through the following steps
    • 1. Centralized log management (beats)
      • beats includes the following four tools
        • ①. Packetbeat (collect network traffic data)
        • ②. Topbeat (collects data on CPU and memory usage at the system, process, and file system levels)
        • ③. Filebeat (collect file data)
        • ④. Winlogbeat (collect Windows event log data)
    • 2. Format the log (logstash)
    • 3. Index and store the formatted data (elastic search)
    • 4. Display of front-end data (Kibana)

1.3 detailed introduction of elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana

1.3.1 Elasticsearch

  • Elasticsearch is a lucene based search server. It provides a distributed multi-user full-text search index based on RESTFUL Web interface
  • Elasticsearch is developed in Java and released as an open source under the Apache license terms. It is the second most popular enterprise search engine. Designed for cloud computing, it can achieve real-time search, stable, reliable, fast, easy to install and use
  • At present, GITHUB and Baidu search engines have been introduced as ES search engines
  • Basic and core concepts of Elasticsearch
    • 1. Near real time (NRT)
      • Elasticsearch is a near real-time search platform. This means that there is a slight delay (usually 1 second) from indexing a document until the document can be searched
    • 2. Cluster
      • A cluster is organized by one or more nodes. They jointly hold the data of the whole cluster and provide indexing and search functions together. One of the nodes is the main node, which can be elected, and provides the function of cross node joint index and search. The cluster has a unique name. The default is (elastic search)
      • The cluster name is very important. Each node is added to its cluster based on the cluster name. Therefore, you need to ensure that different cluster names are used in different environments
      • A cluster can have only one node. It is recommended to configure Elasticsearch in cluster mode
      • es has a cluster mechanism. Nodes join the cluster through the cluster name. At the same time, nodes in the cluster will have their own unique identity (their own name)
    • 3. node
      • A node is a single server, which is a part of the cluster. It stores data and participates in the index and search functions of the cluster.
      • Like clusters, nodes are identified by name. The default is the character name randomly assigned when the node starts. You can also define it yourself. This name is very important and is used to identify the node corresponding to the server in the cluster
      • Nodes can join the cluster by specifying the cluster name. By default, each node is set to join the Elasticsearch cluster. If multiple nodes are started and can automatically discover each other, they will automatically form a cluster called Elasticsearch
    • 4. index
      • An index is a collection of documents with somewhat similar characteristics. For example, you can have an index of customer data, another index of product catalog, and an index of order data. An index is identified by a name (which must be all lowercase letters), and we should use this name when we want to index, search, update and delete the corresponding documents in this index
      • Any number of indexes can be defined in a cluster
      • The index is equivalent to the database of relational database
    • 5. type
      • One or more types can be defined in an index
      • Type is actually a logical classification or partition of your index. Its semantics is entirely up to you. Typically, a type is defined for a document that has a common set of fields. For example, suppose you run a forum and store all your data in an index. In this index, you can define one type for user data, another type for forum data, or another type for comment data
      • The type is equivalent to the table of relational database
    • 6. document
      • A document is a basic information unit that can be indexed. For example, you can have a user's document, a product's document, or an order's document,
      • Documents are represented by JSON (Javascript Object Notation), which is a ubiquitous format for Internet data interaction
      • A document must be indexed within an index or assigned a type
      • A document is equivalent to a column in a relational database
    • 7. Shards & replicas
      • In practice, the data stored in the index may exceed the hardware limit of a single node. For example, a 1 billion document needs 1TB of space, which may not be suitable for storage on the disk of a single node, or the search request from a single node is too slow. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, elastic search provides the function of dividing the index into multiple slices. When creating an index, you can define the number of slices you want to slice.
      • Each partition is a fully functional independent index, which can be located on any node in the cluster
      • There are two main reasons for the existence of fragmentation: ① Horizontally split and expand to increase the storage capacity. ②. Distributed parallel cross slice operation to improve performance and throughput.
      • The mechanism of distributed fragmentation and how to summarize the documents of search requests are completely controlled by elastic search, and these controls are transparent to users
      • Because of the existence of network problems and other problems. Therefore, in order to improve robustness, it is recommended to have a failover mechanism. In this way, fragmentation or node unavailability can be prevented in case of failure. To this end, Elasticsearch lets us slice the index into one or more copies, which are called multi flat copies or copies
      • There are two main reasons for the existence of copies: ① High availability to deal with fragmentation or node failure. Therefore, the fragmented copy should be on different nodes. ②. High performance, increased throughput, search can be performed on all replicas in parallel
      • In short, each index can be partitioned into multiple partitions. An index can also be copied 0 times and many times. Once replicated, each index is distinguished from the primary shard (the original shard as the replication source) and the replication shard (the copy of the primary shard). The number of slices and copies can be specified when the index is created. After the index is created, the number of copies can be changed dynamically at any time, but the number of fragments cannot be changed
      • By default, each index in Elasticsearch is partitioned into five primary partitions and one copy. This also means that the cluster China must have at least two nodes, and the index will have five primary partitions and five replica partitions (one full copy). In this way, each index will have a total of 10 partitions

1.3.2 Logstash

  • Logstash is a simple message based architecture written in JRuby language and runs on the Java virtual machine (JVM)
  • Different from the separate agent or Server, Logstash can configure a single agent to combine with its open source software to realize different functions
  • Because Logstash only does three things, its concept is very simple
    • 1.Collect: data input (Collection)
    • 2.Enrich: data processing (such as filtering, rewriting, etc.)
    • 3.Transport: data output (called by other modules)
  • Main components of Logstash
    • 1.Shipper: log collector. Be responsible for monitoring the changes of local log files and collecting the latest contents of log files in time. Usually, the remote agent only needs to run this component
    • 2.Indexer: log storer. Responsible for receiving logs and writing them to local files
    • 3.Broker: log Hub. Responsible for connecting multiple shippers and indexers
    • 4.Search and Storage: allows searching and storage of events
    • 5.Web Interface: Web-based display interface
    • Because the above components can be deployed independently in logstash, logstash provides better cluster scalability
  • Logstash host classification
    • 1. agent host: as the shipper of events, it sends various log data to the central host. Just run the Logstash agent.
    • 2. central host: it can run various components including Broker, Indexer, Search and Storage and Web Interface. So as to realize the receiving, processing and storage of log data

1.3.3 Kibana

  • Kibana is an open source analysis and visualization platform for Elasticsearch. It is used to search and view data stored in Elasticsearch index interactively
  • Kibana can be used for advanced data analysis and display through various charts. Kibana makes massive data easier to understand
  • Kibana is easy to operate. The browser based user interface can quickly create a dashboard to display Elasticsearch query dynamics in real time
  • Setting up kibana is also very simple. No need to write code. Kibana installation can be completed in a few minutes and Elasticsearch index detection can be started
  • Main functions of Kibana
    • 1.Kibana architecture is customized for Elasticsearch, and any structured and unstructured data can be added to Elasticsearch index. Kibana also makes full use of Elasticsearch's powerful search and analysis capabilities
    • 2. Integrate data. Kibana can better handle massive data and create column charts, line charts, scatter charts, histograms, pie charts and maps
    • 3. Complex data analysis. Kibana improves Elasticsearch's analysis capabilities, enabling it to analyze data more intelligently, perform mathematical transformations, and cut and block data according to requirements
    • 4. Benefit more team members. The powerful database visualization interface enables all business posts to benefit from the data set
    • 5. Flexible interface and easier sharing. Kibana makes it easier to create, save, share data, and quickly communicate visual data
    • 6. Simple configuration. Kibana is very simple to configure and enable, and the user experience is very friendly. Kibana comes with its own Web server, which can start and run quickly
    • 7. Visualize multiple data sources. Kibana can easily integrate data from Logstash, ES Hadoop, Beats or third-party technologies into Elasticsearch. Supported third-party technologies include Apache Flume, fluent, etc
    • 8. Data export is simple. Kibana can easily export the data of interest, quickly model and analyze after fusion with its data set, and find new results
