Network Devices

This integration allows you to send logs from your network devices to your Logz.io account.

Before you begin, you'll need:

Configure your device​

Configure your network device to send logs to your Filebeat server, TCP port 9000. See your device's documentation if you're not sure how to do this.

Download the Logz.io public certificate​

For HTTPS shipping, download the Logz.io public certificate to your certificate authority folder.

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/logzio/public-certificates/master/AAACertificateServices.crt --create-dirs -o /etc/pki/tls/certs/AAACertificateServices.crt

Add TCP traffic as an input​

In the Filebeat configuration file (/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml), add TCP to the filebeat.inputs section.

Replace <<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>> with the token of the account you want to ship to.

note

Filebeat requires a file extension specified for the log input.

# ...
filebeat.inputs:
- type: tcp
  max_message_size: 10MiB
  host: "0.0.0.0:9000"

  fields:
    logzio_codec: plain

    # You can manage your tokens at
    # https://app.logz.io/#/dashboard/settings/manage-tokens/log-shipping
    token: <<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>
    type: network-device
  fields_under_root: true
  encoding: utf-8
  ignore_older: 3h

Set Logz.io as the output​

If Logz.io is not an output, add it now. Remove all other outputs.

Replace <<LISTENER-HOST>> with the host for your region. 

# ...
output.logstash:
  hosts: ["<<LISTENER-HOST>>:5015"]
  ssl:
    certificate_authorities: ['/etc/pki/tls/certs/AAACertificateServices.crt']

Start Filebeat​

Start or restart Filebeat for the changes to take effect.

Check Logz.io for your logs​

Give your logs some time to get from your system to ours, and then open Open Search Dashboards.

If you still don't see your logs, see Filebeat troubleshooting.
