SysLog Forwarding for XenServer

DustinB3403

My point with the Kiwi server is that I must've misconfigured something on the SysLog installation.

Since I've made no direct change other than the logging address in the XC settings. (which does update the settings in the server) but it doesn't change the default port etc.

@scottalanmiller Again, where do I look for them....

/var/log/messages same as always

... and what would be a decent way to view this as it breezes by at 100 lines a second?

Is there a specific event you're looking for?

It only breezes by if you tail it. Try just looking at it statically.

What is generating so many messages?

scottalanmiller

Looking for errors from the forwarder.

Have you tried? If you're seeing logs coming in from XenServer, then you should be on the right track.

tail -f|grep nameofsourceserver

DustinB3403

So this is what I have currently with the Kibana system running.

@dafyre tail -f|grep servername results in "tail: warning: following standard input indefinitely is ineffective"

Here it is with me connected to the system, and my server supposedly sending logs to it.

DustinB3403

I don't see any error messages in the above logs.

So what did I mess up?

DustinB3403

In /var/log/kibana/kibana.stout I have the below...

{"type":"log","@timestamp":"2016-08-15T15:43:07+00:00","tags":["fatal"],"pid":23942,"level":"fatal","message":"listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:5601","error":{"message":"listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:5601","name":"Error","stack":"Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:5601\n    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:870:11)\n    at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:893:20)\n    at Server._listen2 (net.js:1236:14)\n    at listen (net.js:1272:10)\n    at net.js:1381:9\n    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.asyncCallback [as callback] (dns.js:63:16)\n    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:82:10)","code":"EADDRINUSE"}}

And in kibana.stderr

[root@syslog-cent kibana]# tail kibana.stderr
	 errno: 'EADDRINUSE',
	 syscall: 'listen',
	 address: '127.0.0.1',
	 port: 5601 },
  isOperational: true,
  code: 'EADDRINUSE',
  errno: 'EADDRINUSE',
  syscall: 'listen',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 5601 }

Is the system listening to the wrong port? Shouldn't it be 514 or 5140?

DustinB3403

So in checking out the firewall on the Kibana server using nmap...

@DustinB3403 You'd need at least 5601 open, right? What's the output of

fireall-cmd --list-all

DustinB3403

@travisdh1

[root@syslog-cent log]# firewall-cmd --list-all
public (default, active)
  interfaces: eth0
  sources:
  services: dhcpv6-client ssh
  ports: 80/tcp 5044/tcp
  masquerade: no
  forward-ports:
  icmp-blocks:
  rich rules:

travisdh1

We may be getting somewhere. You're kibana.stderr looks like you need port 5601 open.

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5601/tcp --permanent

Sidenote: I still don't like firewall-cmd. Change is hard, even for geeks.

DustinB3403

@travisdh1 So with both TCP and UDP open.

[root@syslog-cent log]# firewall-cmd --list-all
public (default, active)
  interfaces: eth0
  sources:
  services: dhcpv6-client ssh
  ports: 5601/udp 80/tcp 5601/tcp 5044/tcp
  masquerade: no
  forward-ports:
  icmp-blocks:
  rich rules:

Still nothing showing up in Kibana

@travisdh1 said in SysLog Forwarding for XenServer:

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5601/tcp --permanent
Sidenote: I still don't like firewall-cmd. Change is hard, even for geeks.

Do you have to reload the firewalld settings to get them to apply?

firewall-cmd --reload

travisdh1

@coliver Yep, I keep forgetting that step.... spent an hour the other day wondering why things weren't working.

DustinB3403

@coliver I did.

I'll run it again though.

DustinB3403

So still digging into this...
