Build

Build Filebeat

Edit main.go file

package main

import (
    "os"
    _ "github.com/streamnative/pulsar-beat-output/pulsar"
    "github.com/elastic/beats/x-pack/filebeat/cmd"
)

func main() {
    if err := cmd.RootCmd.Execute(); err != nil {
        os.Exit(1)
    }
}

go build -o filebeat main.go

Usage

Add following configuration to filebeat.yml

output.pulsar:
  url: "pulsar://localhost:6650"
  topic: my_topic
  name: test123

Start filebeat

./filebeat modules enable system
./filebeat modules list
./filebeat -c filebeat.yml -e

Build other beat

go build -o metricbeat metricbeat.go
go build -o filebeat filebeat.go
go build -o functionbeat functionbeat.go
go build -o journalbeat journalbeat.go
go build -o auditbeat auditbeat.go
go build -o winlogbeat winlogbeat.go
go build -o packetbeat packetbeat.go

Build and test with docker

Requirements

• Docker

Build Beat images

docker build -t pulsar-beat .

Create network

docker network create pulsar-beat

Start Pulsar service

docker run -d -it --network pulsar-beat -p 6650:6650 -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD/data:/pulsar/data --name pulsar-beat-standalone apachepulsar/pulsar:2.4.0 bin/pulsar standalone

Add following configuration to filebeat.yml

output.pulsar:
  url: "pulsar://pulsar-beat-standalone:6650"
  topic: my_topic
  name: test123

Start Filebeat

docker pull golang:1.12.4
docker run -it --network pulsar-beat --name filebeat golang:1.12.4 /bin/bash
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/streamnative/
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/streamnative/
git clone https://github.com/streamnative/pulsar-beat-output
cd pulsar-beat-output
go build -o filebeat main.go
chown -R root:root filebeat.yml test_module/modules.d/system.yml test_module/module/system
cp test_module/module/system/auth/test/test.log /var/log/messages.log
cp filebeat filebeat.yml test_module
cd test_module
./filebeat modules enable system
./filebeat -c filebeat.yml -e

New open a window for consumer message

docker cp pulsar-client.py pulsar-beat-standalone:/pulsar
docker exec -it pulsar-beat-standalone /bin/bash
python pulsar-client.py

Now you can see the information collected from filebeat.
