SysLog Forwarding for XenServer
-
So for everyone looking to do this,
And then (and @scottalanmiller I'm asking for confirmation) perform what I posted in the OP.
Correct?
-
So on a brand new installation of Centos7 after completing Elk on Cent and then progressing to https://mangolassi.it/topic/8308/configuring-logstash-and-filebeat-to-send-to-elk-logging-system
I get this...
-
Same thing with sudo
-
What is missing from the second script is
curl -L -O https://download.elastic.co/beats/filebeat/filebeat-1.2.3-x86_64.rpm sudo rpm -vi filebeat-1.2.3-x86_64.rpm -
So I'm still stumped here....
-
Hrm, so I have a clean installation and when I go to the Elk/Logstash Web url I get a login prompt...
But I haven't the slightest idea of what the username password is.
Trying "kibana" and "changeme" results in the prompt asking for credentials again...
-
And I'm in.
Now to setup XenServer to send stuff to Kibana.
-
OK So I'm in, and apparently logs are getting sent to this VM.... now how do I see them... lol....
So much to learn...

Have you looked in Kibana yet?
-
@StrongBad Yes, and nothing is showing up.
So there might be something I messed up while configuring it, or there just isn't anything set to show yet.
-
They show up quickly. We're the logs pretty regular before the change?
-
LMFAO. Regular. Logs.

With just a basic syslog server setup and forwarding enabled when I viewed /var/log/messages it was blowing by
-
-
-
I still have a few compressed logs (things that aren't marked to be forward to Elk/Kibana)
-
Obviously I'll need to change the syslog file to make sure those are only sent off host.
But why aren't they appearing in Elk/Kibana...
-
Everything here seems happy.
-
I still don't know why the logging isn't showing up in Kibana. . .

What do the local logs say? On both ends. There should be Logstash logs saying what has happened.
