环境说明

1. windows server 2012 R2 64位

2. log4net.ElasticSearch

3. kibana-5.5.0-windows-x86.zip

架构说明

数据采集有两种方案Beats或Logstash，Logstash支持很多种数据源，有log4j但没有log4net，本想使用log4net.redis+redis+logstash的方式实现日志收集。无意间发现了 log4net.ElasticSearch可以直接写日志到ES，经过测试非常好用、方便。

log4net.ElasticSearch is a module for the log4net library to log messages to the ElasticSearch document database. ElasticSearch offers robust full-text searching an analyzation so that errors and messages can be indexed quickly and searched easily.

Features:

• Supports .NET 4.0+
• Easy installation and setup via Nuget
• Full support for the Elasticsearch _bulk API for buffered logging

安装kibana

1.下载kibana

首先下载windows版本的kibana文件，地址:https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-5.5.0-windows-x86.zip,解压到E:\elk\kibana目录

2.配置Kibana

打开配置文件E:\elk\kibana\config\kibana.yml，修改server.host和server.host，如下：

server.host: "192.168.5.175"

elasticsearch.url: "http://192.168.5.175:9200"

3.运行Kibana

命令行下执行E:\elk\kibana\bin\kibana.bat文件

 使用log4net.ElasticSearch

1.安装log4net.ElasticSearch

log4net.ElasticSearch可以通过Nuget安装，要注意保持和正在使用的log4net版本一致

Install-Package log4net.ElasticSearch -Version 2.3.4

 log4net.ES.Example是一个测试Demo，修改配置后就能使用。

2.配置log4net.config文件

 
    <appender name="ElasticSearchAppender" type="log4net.ElasticSearch.ElasticSearchAppender, log4net.ElasticSearch">
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout,log4net">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n" />
      layout>
      
      
      <connectionString value="Server=192.168.5.175;Index=log;Port=9200;rolling=true"/>
      
      
      <lossy value="false" />
      
      
      
      
      
      <evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator">
        <threshold value="ALL"/>
      evaluator>
    appender>

Index=log：索引的名字
rolling=true:每天生成一个索引，比如log-2017.07.13
bufferSize :批量提交到ES,这里为了演示设置成1

  
    
    <root>
      <level value="ALL"/>
      <appender-ref ref="ElasticSearchAppender" />
    root>

2.写入日志

运行测试程序，即可写入几条日志到ES中。

          "fullInfo": "log4net.ES.Example.Program.Main(F:\\soft\\elk\\log4net.ES.Example-master\\log4net.ES.Example\\Program.cs:18)",
          "methodName": "Main",
          "fix": "LocationInfo, UserName, Identity, Partial",
          "properties": {
            "log4net:Identity": "",
            "log4net:UserName": "BJ-BL\\Administrator",
            "log4net:HostName": "BJ-BL",
            "@timestamp": "2017-07-13T01:32:53.9948595Z"
          },
          "userName": "BJ-BL\\Administrator",
          "threadName": "1",
          "hostName": "BJ-BL"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

日志字段非常全。。。。很赞

配置kibana

1.创建索引模式

打开kibana，http://192.168.5.175:5601。

点击Management=>Index Patterns=>Create Index Pattern,输入log-*就可以匹配上log-yyyy.mm.dd的索引了。

2.查询日志

点击Discover，选中log-*索引，就可以查询日志了。

总结

ELK日志框架已经搭建完成，这里的L变成了Log4net，ES和Kibana的熟练使用还需要时间去积累。Logstash的插件功能真是强大，也写了几个简单的配置文件实现输入输出的转化，如下：

input { 
  redis {
        host => "192.168.5.175"    
        port => 6379  
        data_type => "list"     
        key => "logstash" 
        codec=> json
    }

 }
output {
  elasticsearch { 
  hosts => ["192.168.5.175:9200"] 
  }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

input { stdin { } }
output {
  elasticsearch { hosts => ["192.168.5.175:9200"] }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

input { stdin { } }
output {
  elasticsearch { hosts => ["192.168.5.175:9200"] }
  file{path=>[
  "stdin-log.txt"
  ]}
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

input { stdin { } }
output {
  redis {
        host => "192.168.5.175"    
        port => 6379  
        data_type => "channel"     
        key => "logstash_list_0"  
    }
   
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
