I am ingesting data from kafka into elasticsearch using kafka.
In Kibana the ingested documents look like the following:
How can I ensure that the character encoding is correct and ultimately fix this issue?

I am new to FluentD logging mechanism. We are dealing with an issue in our AKS fleet where FluentD is used as the mechanism for shipping logs to Kafka. Most of the applications/containers are able to send logs thru Kafka except just one api app which throws huge volume of logs... Any recommendations on fluentD configs to tackle this heavy log inputs?
We did not try any options with volume
I am getting data from a kafka topic through logstash and want to connect to an SSL-protected elasticsearch(all these are in docker images). I have tested the connection with a non SSL-elasticsearch and it worked fine, but with the ssl-elastic does not.
Do you have any suggestions,
e.g do i have to change my logstash configuration output to connect to https://elasticsearch:9200,
Do i have to install x-pack in my logstash,
Any suggestions
Thanks in advance!
I was trying to do a quick bootstrap to see some sample data in elasticsearch.
Here is where you do a Docker Compose to get a ES Cluster:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html
Next I needed to get logstash in place. I did that with: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/docker-config.html
When I curl my host, curl localhost:9200 it gives me the sample connection string. So i can tell it is exposed. Now when I run the logstash docker file from above, i noticed that during the bootstrap code it cant connect to: localhost:9200
I was thinking that the private network created in for elastic is fine for the cluster and that i didnt need to add logstash to it. Do I have to do something different to get the default logstash to interact with the default docker?
I have been stuck on this for awhile. My host system is Debian 9. I am trying to think of what the issues might be. I know that -p 9200:9200 would couple the ports together, but 9200 has been claimed by ES, so I'm not sure how I should be handling things. I didn't see anything on the Website though which says "To link the out of the box logstash to the out of the box elasticsearch you need to do X,Y,Z"
When attempting to create a terminal to the logstash server with -it though, it is continually bootstrapping logstash and isn't giving me a terminal to see what is going on from the inside.
What Recommendations do you have?
Add --link your_elasticsearch_container_id:elasticsearch to the docker run command of logstash. Then the elasticsearch container will be visible to logstash under http://elasticsearch:9200, assuming you don't have TLS and the default port is used (what will be the case if you follow the docs you refer to).
If you need filebeat or kibana in the next step, see this question I answered recently: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60122043/7330758
I have a remote Ubuntu 14.04 machine. I downloaded and ran a couple of ELK Docker images, but I seem to be getting the same behavior in all of them. I tried the images in these two repositories: spujadas/elk-docker and deviantony/docker-elk. The problem is, in both images, Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana all work perfectly locally, however when I try to reach Kibana from a remote computer using http://host-ip:5601, I get a connection timeout and can't reach Kibana. Also, I can reach Elasticsearch from http://host-ip:9200. As both the repositories suggest, I injected some data into Logstash, but that didn't work either. Is there some tweak I need to make in order to reach Kibana remotely?
EDIT: I tried opening up port 5601 as suggested here, but that didn't work either.
As #Rawkode suggested in the comments, the problem was the firewall. The VM I'm working on was created on Azure and I had to create an inbound security rule to allow Kibana to be accessed from port 5601. More on this subject can be read from here.
Fluentd collected data from nginx log file before.
Now I have put nginx access_log into redis with my new module.
I want to collect data from redis with fluentd and send the data to a fluentd server.
So how to collect data from redis?
Some one ever do this?
