The basics of fluentd
- 1. Structured logging ! Reliable forwarding ! Pluggable architecturehttp://fluentd.org/
- 2. Agenda > Background > Overview > Product Comparison > Use cases
- 3. Background
- 4. Data Processing Collect Store Process Visualize Data source Reporting Monitoring
- 5. Related Products Store Process Cloudera Horton Works Treasure Data Collect Visualize Tableau Excel R easier & shorter time ???
- 7. Before Fluentd Application ･･･ Server2 Application ･･･ Server3 Application ･･･ Server1 FluentLog High Latency! must wait for a day...
- 8. After Fluentd Application ･･･ Server2 Application ･･･ Server3 Application ･･･ Server1 In streaming! Fluentd Fluentd Fluentd Fluentd Fluentd
- 9. Overview
- 10. > Open sourced log collector written in Ruby > Reliable, scalable and easy to extend > Using rubygems ecosystem for plugins ! ! In short It’s like syslogd, but uses JSON for log messages
- 11. tail insert event buffering 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Dec/2012:07:26:27] "GET / ... 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Dec/2012:07:26:30] "GET / ... 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Dec/2012:07:26:32] "GET / ... 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Dec/2012:07:26:40] "GET / ... 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Dec/2012:07:27:01] "GET / ... ...

- 12. > default second unit > from data source or adding parsed time Event structure(log message) ✓ Time > for message routing ✓ Tag > JSON format > MessagePack internally > non-unstructured ✓ Record
- 13. Pluggable Architecture Buffer Output Input > Forward > HTTP > File tail > dstat > ... > Forward > File > MongoDB > ... > File > Memory Engine Output > rewrite > ... Pluggable Pluggable
- 14. Fluentd # Ruby! Fluent.open(“myapp”)! Fluent.event(“login”, {“user” => 38})! #=> 2012-12-11 07:56:01 myapp.login {“user”:38} > Ruby > Java > Perl > PHP > Python > D > Scala > ... Application Time:Tag:Record Client libraries
- 15. Configuration and operation > No central / master node > HTTP include helps configuration sharing > Operation depends on your environment > Use your deamon management > Use Chef in Treasure Data > Apache like syntax and Ruby DSL
- 16. # receive events via HTTP <source> type http port 8888 </source> ! # read logs from a file <source> type tail path /var/log/httpd.log format apache tag apache.access </source> ! # save access logs to MongoDB <match apache.access> type mongo database apache collection log </match> # save alerts to a file <match alert.**> type file path /var/log/fluent/alerts </match> ! # forward other logs to servers <match **> type forward <server> host 192.168.0.11 weight 20 </server> <server> host 192.168.0.12 weight 60 </server> </match> ! include http://example.com/conf
- 17. Reliability (core + plugin) > Buffering > Use file buffer for persistent data > buffer chunk has ID for idempotent > Retrying > Error handling > transaction, failover, etc on forward plugin > secondary for backup
- 18. Plugins - use rubygems $ fluent-gem search -rd fluent-plugin! ! $ fluent-gem search -rd fluent-mixin! ! $ fluent-gem install fluent-plugin-mongo
- 20. in_tail ✓ read a log file! ✓ read log files in directory! ✓ custom regexp! ✓ custom parser in Ruby FluentdApache access.log > apache > apache2 > syslog > nginx > json > csv > tsv > ltsv Supported format: > none > multiline
- 21. Fluentd out_mongo Apache bufferaccess.log ✓ retry automatically! ✓ exponential retry wait! ✓ persistent on a file
