Setting Up Centralized Logging with Graylog3

Centralized logging is an important component of any production-grade infrastructure.Analyzing log data can help in debugging issues with your deployed applications and services, such as determining the reason for service termination or application crash.

Compatible/Tested with following versions:

  • HA-Proxy version 1.8.8-1ubuntu0.7 2019/11/04
  • Graylog 3.X
  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • Digitalocean/AWS/GCP/Azure

graylog-custom-mapping.json - custom index mappings

why we need custom mapping? haproxy_Tc,haproxy_Tt and haproxy_bytesRead fields are saved as a string. Sometimes it’s useful to not rely on Elasticsearch’s dynamic mapping but to define a stricter schema for messages. In order to extend the default mapping of Elasticsearch and Graylog, you can create one or more custom index mappings and add them as index templates to Elasticsearch.

  • Creating a new index template Save the following index template for the custom index mapping into a file named graylog-custom-mapping.json:
{
  "template": "graylog_*",
  "mappings" : {
    "message" : {
      "properties" : {
       "haproxy_Tc" : {
            "type" : "long"
          },
          "haproxy_Tt" : {
            "type" : "long"
          },
          "haproxy_Tw" : {
            "type" : "long"
          },
        "haproxy_bytesRead" : {
          "type" : "long"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Finally, load the index mapping into Elasticsearch with the following command:

$ curl -X PUT -d @'graylog-custom-mapping.json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'http://localhost:9200/_template/graylog-custom-mapping?pretty'
{
  "acknowledged" : true
}

If you've Elasticsearch 7.X then the above custom mapping won't work but don't worry we've the fix. Thanks to this issue reporter: Link Graylog custom mapping for Elasticsearch version 7.x

{
"template": "graylog_*",
"mappings" : {

        "properties" : {
            "haproxy_Tc" : {
                "type" : "long"
            },
            "haproxy_Tt" : {
                "type" : "long"
            },
            "haproxy_Tw" : {
                "type" : "long"
            },
            "haproxy_bytesRead" : {
                "type" : "long"
            }
        }

}
}
  • Rotate indices manually
    • GUI : System>Indices> | Select "Default index set" Maintenace>Rotate Active write index
    • verify : $ curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200/graylog_deflector/_mapping?pretty'
