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/COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.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/COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.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.
