现在大部分公司都会选择将应用、中间件、系统等日志存储在 Elasticsearch 中,如何发现日志中的异常数据并且及时告警通知就显得十分重要。本文将会介绍两种主流的日志监控方案,分别是 Yelp 公司开源的 ElastAlert 和 Elastic 官方的商业版功能 Watcher。
如下图所示,日志数据源是一台 Nginx 服务器,在该服务器上安装 Filebeat 收集 Nginx 日志并输出到 Elasticsearch,之后会分别演示用 ElastAlert 和 Watcher 两种方案监控日志并进行告警。
部署 Nginx
安装依赖
yum install -y gcc gcc-c++ autoconf pcre pcre-devel make automake wget httpd-tools vim tree zlib-devel
下载安装包
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.14.0.tar.gz
tar -xzvf nginx-1.14.0.tar.gz
编译安装
cd nginx-1.14.0
./configure
配置 Nginx
编辑配置文件 /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf,在 Nginx 上配置一个静态网页服务。
worker_processes 1;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
server {
listen 80;
location / {
root html;
}
}
}
启动 Nginx:
sbin/nginx
访问 Nginx:
部署 Filebeat
下载并安装 Filebeat。
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/filebeat/filebeat-7.14.0-x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -vi filebeat-7.14.0-x86_64.rpm
编辑 /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml 配置文件,读取 Nginx 日志文件输出到 Elasticsearch 的 nginx 索引中,后缀是当前日期。
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
enabled: true
paths:
- /usr/local/nginx/logs/*.log
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["192.168.1.8:9200"]
index: "nginx-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
#username: "elastic"
#password: "changeme"
setup.ilm.enabled: false
setup.template.name: "nginx"
setup.template.pattern: "nginx-*"
启动 Filebeat:
systemctl start filebeat
ElastAlert
ElastAlert 是 Yelp 公司开源的一套用 Python 写的 Elasticsearch 告警框架,可以从 Elasticsearch 当中查询出匹配规则的数据进行告警。
ElastAlert 有以下特点:
- 支持多种匹配规则(频率、阈值、数据变化、黑白名单、变化率等)。
- 支持多种告警类型(邮件、HTTP POST、自定义脚本等)。
- 支持用户自定义规则和告警类型。
- 匹配项汇总报警,重复告警抑制,告警失败重试和过期。
- 可用性强,状态信息保存到 Elasticsearch 的索引中。
- 支持调试和审计。
部署 Elastalert
安装 Python
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.9/Python-3.6.9.tgz
tar -zxvf Python-3.6.9.tgz
cd Python-3.6.9
./configure
make && make install
检查 Python 版本:
python3 -V
安装依赖
yum install gcc libffi-devel python3-devel openssl-devel -y
pip3 install -U pip
pip3 install "setuptools>=11.3"
安装 Elastalert
python3 install elastalert
配置 Elastalert
克隆代码到本地:
git clone https://github.com/Yelp/elastalert.git
cd elastalert
我们可以在 ElastAlert 源码文件的根目录下找到一个叫做 config.yaml.example 的文件,修改文件名为 config.yaml:
mv config.yaml.example config.yaml
创建存放规则的目录。
mkdir rules
cd rules
编辑 config.yaml 文件,修改主配置:
#规则存放的目录
rules_folder: rules
#运行的频率
run_every:
minutes: 1
#ElastAlert 将缓存最近一段时间的结果,以防某些日志源不是实时的
buffer_time:
minutes: 45
#Elasticsearch 地址
es_host: 192.168.1.8
#Elasticsearch 端口
es_port: 9200
#Elasticsearch 用户名密码(可选)
#es_username: someusername
#es_password: somepassword
#ElastAlert 元数据存储索引
writeback_index: elastalert_status
#如果警报因某种原因失败,ElastAlert将重试发送警报,直到该时间段结束
alert_time_limit:
days: 2
创建 rules/nginx.yaml 文件,编辑 rule:
规则内容为:在 1 分钟内如果查询 nginx-* 索引的 message 字段匹配 到 error 5 次就触发告警,往指定的 URL 发送一个 HTTP POST 请求。

alert:

http_post_url: "https://webhook.site/2f64f4b3-8b43-488c-b2df-695136079e36"
https://webhook.site 网站提供了测试的 Webhook 接口,每个人的 URL 都是独立的,拷贝这个 URL 复制到 http_post_url 中。
ElastAlert 会把执行记录存放到一个索引中,可以方便我们审核和调试。使用以下命令创建这个索引的,默认情况下,索引名叫 elastalert_status。
root@ydt-net-es-node1:/software #elastalert-create-index
Enter Elasticsearch host: 192.168.1.8
Enter Elasticsearch port: 9200
Use SSL? t/f: f
#如果有认证输入用户名密码
Enter optional basic-auth username (or leave blank):
Enter optional basic-auth password (or leave blank):
Enter optional Elasticsearch URL prefix (prepends a string to the URL of every request):
New index name? (Default elastalert_status)
New alias name? (Default elastalert_alerts)
Name of existing index to copy? (Default None)

在 Kibana 上可以看到 Nginx 的日志,错误请求会在 access.log 和 error.log 各写一次,因此这里看到 3 条记录。
运行 elastalert-test-rule 命令检验配置文件是否正确并且可以看到规则匹配的次数,elastalert-test-rule 命令并不会真正触发告警。

1分钟内连续发送错误请求 5 次达到触发告警的阈值:
for i in {1..3};do curl http://192.168.1.134/xxxxxx -I;done
此时可以看到发送的告警格式。

Watcher
Watcher 是 Elastic 官方提供的一个对日志数据监控和报警的功能,Watcher 属于收费功能,我们可以在 License Management 中开启 30 天的试用。
Watcher 由以下 5 个部分组成:
-
trigger
:定义 watcher 触发的时间或者周期。 -
input
:定义数据的来源,可以是一个索引或者 HTTP 请求的结果等等。如果没有设置输入将为空。 -
condition
:定义执行 action 触发的条件。如果没有设置默认总是触发 action。 -
transform(可选)
:修改 watcher 的 payload。 -
actions
:定义执行的动作,例如 email,webhook,index,logging,slack 等等。
创建 1 个 Watcher:
- trigger:每分钟运行一次。
- input:通配符匹配 nginx-* 的索引,查询 message 字段中的 error 关键字,每次针对在过去5分钟内发生的事件来进行查询。
- condition:如果在查询结果中,匹配到 1 次,就触发 action。
- action:向指定 URL 发送一个 HTTP POST 请求。
PUT _watcher/watch/nginx-watcher
{
"trigger": {
"schedule" : {
"interval" : "1m"
}
},
"input": {
"search": {
"request": {
"indices": [
"nginx-*"
],
"body": {
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": {
"match": {
"message": "error"
}
},
"filter": {
"range": {
"@timestamp": {
"from": "{{ctx.trigger.scheduled_time}}||-5m",
"to": "{{ctx.trigger.triggered_time}}"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
},
"condition": {
"compare": {
"ctx.payload.hits.total": {
"gt": 0
}
}
},
"actions": {
"my_webhook": {
"throttle_period": "2m",
"webhook": {
"method": "POST",
"url": "https://webhook.site/2f64f4b3-8b43-488c-b2df-695136079e36",
"body": "Number of Nginx Error: {{ctx.payload.hits.total}}"
}
}
}
}
查看刚刚创建的 watcher:
1分钟内连续发送 5 次错误请求。
for i in {1..3};do curl http://192.168.1.134/xxxxxx -I;done
查看 watcher 状态,可以看到触发了 action。
访问 https://webhook.site 可以看到最新的 Webhook 事件已经被触发了,而且它的 Raw Content 和我们之前定义的 body 格式是一致的。
如果我们设置的 watcher 间隔时间比较久,Elasticsearch 为了方便我们测试,提供了_execute 接口,通过执行下面命令可以立即运行一下我们的 watcher。
PUT _watcher/watch/nginx-watcher/_execute
