Docker Filebeat image

This image contains filebeat so you can send logs from a server to Logstash or Elasticsearch. The default configuration will send logs to a specific Logstash instance, so it's expecting some environment variables to know where is the Logstash instance.

Loading the Index Template in Elasticsearch

Before saving logs in ElasticSearch you need to save the filebeat template that you can find in this repo

curl -XPUT 'http://elasticsearch_host:9200/_template/filebeat?pretty' -d@binary/filebeat.template.json

Running

To start the container run

docker run -e "LOGSTASH_HOST=logstash.tld" -e "LOGSTASH_PORT=5001" -e "INDEX=logstash" fiunchinho/docker-filebeat

If you want Filebeat to read from stdin, make the container interactive

docker run -i -e "LOGSTASH_HOST=logstash.tld" -e "LOGSTASH_PORT=5001" -e "INDEX=logstash" fiunchinho/docker-filebeat

This image contains a sample configuration file that expects logs coming from stdin, but you can load your own configuration file by mounting the config file from your docker host:

docker run -v "/path/to/your/filebeat.yml:/filebeat.yml" -e "LOGSTASH_HOST=logstash.tld" -e "LOGSTASH_PORT=5001" -e "INDEX=logstash" fiunchinho/docker-filebeat
