I have a local setup running 2 conainers -
One for Elasticsearch (setup for development as detailed here - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html). This I run as directed in the article using - docker run -p 9200:9200 -e "http.host=0.0.0.0" -e "transport.host=127.0.0.1" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.4.1
Another as a Fluentd aggregator (using this base image - https://hub.docker.com/r/fluent/fluentd/). My fluent.conf
for testing purposes is as follows :
<source>
@type forward
port 24224
</source>
<match **>
@type elasticsearch
host 172.17.0.2 # Verified internal IP address of the ES container
port 9200
user elastic
password changeme
index_name fluentd
buffer_type memory
flush_interval 60
retry_limit 17
retry_wait 1.0
include_tag_key true
tag_key docker.test
reconnect_on_error true
</match>
This I start with the command - docker run -p 24224:24224 -v /data:/fluentd/log vg/fluentd:latest
When I run my processes (that generate logs), and run these 2 containers, I see the following towards the end of stdout
for the Fluentd container -
2017-06-15 12:16:33 +0000 [info]: Connection opened to Elasticsearch cluster => {:host=>"172.17.0.2", :port=>9200, :scheme=>"http", :user=>"elastic", :password=>"obfuscated"}
However, beyond this, I see no logs. When I login to http://localhost:9200
I only see the Elasticsearch welcome message.
I know the logs are reaching the Fluentd container, because when I change fluent.conf
to redirect to a file, I see all the logs as expected. What am I doing wrong in my setup of Elasticsearch? How can I get to seeing all the indexes laid out correctly in my browser / through Kibana?
