== System module
|
||
|
|
||
|
The +{modulename}+ module collects and parses logs created by the system logging
|
||
|
service of common Unix/Linux based distributions.

|
=== Compatibility
|
||
|
|
||
|
This module was tested with logs from OSes like Ubuntu 12.04, Centos 7, and
|
||
|
macOS Sierra.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This module requires the
|
||
|
{elasticsearch-plugins}/ingest-user-agent.html[ingest-user-agent] and
|
||
|
{elasticsearch-plugins}/ingest-geoip.html[ingest-geoip] Elasticsearch plugins.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This module is not available for Windows.
|
||

||
|

||
|
=== Example dashboards
|
||
|
|
||
|
This module comes with sample dashboards. For example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
[role="screenshot"]
|
||
|
image::./images/kibana-system.png[]
|
||
|
|
||
|
include::../include/configuring-intro.asciidoc[]
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following example shows how to set paths in the +modules.d/{modulename}.yml+
|
||
|
file to override the default paths for the syslog and authorization logs:
|
||
|
|
||
|
["source","yaml",subs="attributes"]
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
- module: system
|
||
|
syslog:
|
||
|
enabled: true
|
||
|
var.paths: ["/path/to/log/syslog*"]
|
||
|
auth:
|
||
|
enabled: true
|
||
|
var.paths: ["/path/to/log/auth.log*"]
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
To specify the same settings at the command line, you use:
|
||
|
|
||
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
-M "system.syslog.var.paths=[/path/to/log/syslog*]" -M "system.auth.var.paths=[/path/to/log/auth.log*]"
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
//set the fileset name used in the included example
|
||
|
:fileset_ex: syslog
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
[float]
|
||
|
