Logs and Metrics POC

Why?

Just because I can and want to learn something

What?

• Docker
• Filebeat
• Metricbeat
• Kafka
• Logstash
• Elasticsearch
• Kibana
• ManageIQ (generates lots of logs with some clicks, but please inform if there is a better thingy)

How?

docker-compose up -d

browser -> http://dockerip:5601 / http://localhost:5601

Pattern -> filebeat-* or metricbeat-*

FAQ

Help! No logs are coming in

Probably there is a chance that the docker-machine time is totally out of sync with your systemtime. Check this with:

date && docker exec -it kibana  date
Fri Dec  9 15:25:30 CET 2016
Fri Dec  9 14:25:29 UTC 2016

try this first: docker run --rm --privileged centos:7 hwclock -s

if its totally off... just restart your docker-machine/docker for mac or windows

If this is not the case... I probably messed up, please send me a message
