Each module and fileset has variables that you can set to change the default
|
||
|
|
behavior of the module, including the paths where the module looks for log
|
||
|
|
files. You can set the path in configuration or from the command line. For
|
||
|
|
example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
- module: nginx
|
||
|
|
access:
|
||
|
|
var.paths: ["/var/log/nginx/access.log*"] <1>
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
<1> Sets the path for `nginx` access log files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To set the path at the command line, use the `-M` flag. The variable name
|
||
|
|
must include the module and fileset name. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*deb and rpm:*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
{beatname_lc} -e -M "nginx.access.var.paths=[/var/log/nginx/access.log*]"
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*mac:*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
./{beatname_lc} -e -M "nginx.access.var.paths=[/usr/local/var/log/nginx/access.log*]"
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*win:*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
PS > .{backslash}{beatname_lc}.exe -e -M "nginx.access.var.paths=[c:/programdata/nginx/logs/*access.log*]"
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can specify multiple overrides. Each override must start with `-M`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are running {beatname_uc} as a service, you cannot set paths from the
|
||
|
|
command line. You must set the `var.paths` option in the module configuration
|
||
|
|
file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For information about specific variables that you can set for each fileset,
|
||
|
|
see the <<{beatname_lc}-modules,documentation for the modules>>.
