I want to set hostname in index_name of fluentd conf file. I am setting like this but it is not working
<match output.**>
#type copy
<store>
#type elasticsearch
host elasticsearch
ssl_version TLSv1_2
ssl_verify false
type_name _doc
port 443
scheme https
flush_interval 10s
index_name abc-${hostname}
</store>
<store>
#type stdout
</store>
</match>
How can I achieve that?
Your question is not very clear but let me try to answer anyway.
You can achive it in your source part.
Example
<source>
type tail
#format json
path path_to_the_file
pos_file /var/log/td-agent/buffer/somename
tag hostname #in plain text(there are other methods too)
</source>
Now add
include_tag_key true
logstash_prefix ${tag}
logstash_format true
to your <match> part after host and remove index_name..
It's not a solution to your problem but it will give you a direction hopefully.

I'm tailing a syslog file which doesn't have the timezone. By default fluentd (incorrectly) assumes the timezone is UTC, so it shifts the time off by several hours.
I can fix this for stdout, using 'localtime true', but I can't find a setting to do the same thing for elasticsearch:
<source>
#type tail
# read_from_head true
<parse>
#type syslog
</parse>
path /tmp/syslog
pos_file /tmp/var_log_syslog.pos
tag syslog.file
</source>
<match syslog.**>
#type copy
<store>
#type elasticsearch
host elasticsearch
port 9200
logstash_format true
logstash_prefix fluentd
logstash_dateformat %Y%m%d
include_tag_key true
type_name access_log
tag_key #log_name
flush_interval 1s
utc_index false
</store>
<store>
#type stdout
localtime true
</store>
</match>
It looks like the desired behavior is the default behavior. Fluentd seems to use the localtime zone, but I was running it in a docker container and I forgot to set the container's timezone.
So I am trying to capture the output from docker containers running on a host but after a change by the developers to use json as a logging output for the containers I am missing out on the containers start up message that are happening in the entrypoint.sh. I can see that someone has added a new filter section in the config file which works really nicely to capture json output but only json output.
Here is the template in use:
<source>
#type forward
port 24224
bind 0.0.0.0
tag GELF_TAG
</source>
<filter GELF_TAG.**>
#type parser
key_name log
reserve_data false
<parse>
#type json
</parse>
</filter>
<match GELF_TAG.**>
#type copy
<store>
#type gelf
host {{ graylog_server_fqdn }}
port 12201
protocol tcp
flush_interval 5s
</store>
<store>
#type stdout
</store>
</match>
How do I set up the config to be able to capture the entrypoint.sh output and the json output from the containers after they start?
EDIT.
The filter is rejecting messages sent to the docker containers stdout up until the application starts logging in json.
[warn]: #0 dump an error event: error_class=Fluent::Plugin::Parser::ParserError error="pattern not matched with data
So I tried to capture everything that was being drooped into the ERROR tag and I can see the missing messages but they still fail to parse using this config:
# Ansible
<source>
#type forward
port 24224
bind 0.0.0.0
tag GELF_TAG
</source>
<filter GELF_TAG.**>
#type parser
emit_invalid_record_to_error true
key_name log
reserve_data false
<parse>
#type json
</parse>
</filter>
<match {GELF_TAG.**,#ERROR}>
#type copy
<store>
#type gelf
host {{ graylog_server_fqdn }}
port 12201
protocol tcp
flush_interval 5s
</store>
<store>
#type stdout
</store>
</match>
Install the multi-format parser:
td-agent-gem install fluent-plugin-multi-format-parser -v 1.0.0
# Ansible
<source>
#type forward
port 24224
bind 0.0.0.0
tag GELF_TAG
</source>
<filter GELF_TAG.**>
#type parser
key_name log
reserve_data false
<parse>
#type multi_format
<pattern>
format json
time_key timestamp
</pattern>
<pattern>
format none
</pattern>
</parse>
</filter>
<match GELF_TAG.**>
#type copy
<store>
#type gelf
host {{ graylog_server_fqdn }}
port 12201
protocol tcp
flush_interval 5s
</store>
<store>
#type stdout
</store>
</match>
You can also use the 'rewrite_tag_filter' which is an output plugin. Using that you can change the tag for the different patterns, and then use the parsers/filters.
elasticsearch index Can not use names like this?
data: {"key1": "val1"}
fluentD conf:
<match **>
#type elasticsearch
host localhost
port 9200
logstash_format true
logstash_prefix ${key1}
time_key #timestamp
include_timestamp true
</ match>
Error:
[warn]: #0 chunk key placeholder '' not replaced. template:${key1}
Maybe you must set chunk_keys.
<match **>
#type elasticsearch
# snip
<buffer tag,key1>
logstash_prefix ${key1}
</buffer>
</match>
Maybe you can specify a custom index, like this:
<match **>
#type elasticsearch
index_name whatever.${key1}
<buffer tag, key1>
logstash_prefix ${key1}
</buffer>
</match>
My environment has a setup where docker container logs are forwarded to fluentd, then fluentd forwards to splunk.
I have a issue with fluentd, some of the docker container logs are not in structured format. From the documentation i see that:
fluentd log driver sends the following metadata in the structured log message:
container_id,
container_name,
source,
log
My issue is few of the logs have unstructured metadata information:
for example:
Log 1:
{"log":"2019/03/12 13:59:49 [info] 6#6: *2425596 client closed connection while waiting for request, client: 10.17.84.12, server: 0.0.0.0:80","container_id":"789459f8f8a52c8b4b","container_name":"testingcontainer-1ed-fwij4-EcsTaskDefinition-1TF1DH,"source":"stderr"}
Log 2:
{"container_id":"26749a26500dd04e92fc","container_name":"/4C4DTHQR2V6C-EcsTaskDefinition-1908NOZPKPKY0-1","source":"stdout","log":"\u001B[0mGET \u001B[32m200 \u001B[0m0.634 ms - -\u001B[0m"}
These two logs have different order of metadata information(log1-[log, conatiner-name, container_id, source])(log2- [container_id, conatiner-name, source, log]). Because of this i'm getting some issues in splunk. How can i resolve this to get same order of metadata info?
my fluend config file is
<source>
#type forward

How about fluent-plugin-record-sort?
Or you can use built-in record_trandformer plugin like the following if you know all keys in a record:
<source>
#type dummy
tag dummy
dummy [
{"log": "log1", "container_id": "123", "container_name": "name1", "source": "stderr"},
{"container_id": "456", "container_name": "name2", "source": "stderr", "log": "log2"}
]
</source>
<filter dummy>
#type record_transformer
renew_record true
keep_keys log,container_id,container_name,source
</filter>
<match dummy>
#type stdout
</match>
UPDATE(not tested):
<source>
#type forward
#id input1
#label #mainstream
#log_level trace
port 24224
</source>
<label #mainstream>
<filter>
#type record_transformer
renew_record true
keep_keys log,container_id,container_name,source
</filter>
<match *.**>
#type copy
<store>
#type file
#id output_docker1
path /fluentd/log/docker.*.log
symlink_path /fluentd/log/docker.log
append true
time_slice_format %Y%m%d
time_slice_wait 1m
time_format %Y%m%dT%H%M%S%z
utc
buffer_chunk_limit 512m
</store>
<store>
#type s3
#id output_docker2
#log_level trace
s3_bucket bucketwert-1
s3_region us-east-1
path logs/
buffer_path /fluentd/log/docker.log
s3_object_key_format %{path}%{time_slice}_sbx_docker_%{index}.%{file_extension}
flush_interval 3600s
time_slice_format %Y%m%d
time_format %Y%m%dT%H%M%S%z

I have a scenario where nginx is running in one container and fluentd is in another container, i mapped nginx logs to var/logs/nginx directory, but i was unable to retrieve logs to elastic search using fluentd, please help me regarding this:
fluentd.conf
<source>
#type forward
port 24224
bind 0.0.0.0
</source>
<source>
#type tail
path /var/log/nginx/access_in_log
#pos_file /var/log/td-agent/nginx-access.log.pos
tag nginx.access
format nginx
</source>
<match nginx.access>
#type elasticsearch
logstash_format true
host elasticsearchkibana
port 9200
index_name nginxindex
type_name nginxlogtype
</match>
Please let me know what am I missing.
I solved this issue by using the nginx syslog driver (http://nginx.org/en/docs/syslog.html).
In my nginx.conf inside the nginx container I have these settings:
http {
...
access_log syslog:server=<FLUENTD_HOST>:<FLUENTD_PORT>,tag=nginx_access;
error_log syslog:server=<FLUENTD_HOST>:<FLUENTD_PORT>,tag=nginx_error info;
In my fluent.conf inside my Fluentd container I have this config:
<source>
#type syslog
port 5141
tag "syslog"
</source>
The logs then look like this:
