Filebeat cannot work, need help! #38

Closed tyrantqiao closed 6 years ago

tyrantqiao commented 6 years ago

Hello, I cannot use docker's filebeat to get my logs. [machine+version] centos6 filebeat6.3

  1. If I use local filebeat service to work, It can grab any logs I need, But when I run docker's filebeat with my filebeat.yml, It cannot get logs. [This configuration can work on service filebeat start]
  2. When the docker's filebeat runs, there are only Non-zero metrics ticking every 30s, I would like to what caused my error. Hopeful you can help me out. Thanks!
  3. In my case, I get the logs and then output to kafka cluster.

Hi,

This is probably a good question for the Beats forum. This GitHub project is used for tracking bugs in the build system that creates the Docker images for Beats. If you do try the forum, don't forget to post your filebeat.yml and some info about how you are running the container so that people can see what you are trying to do.

Having said that, my initial guess is that your Filebeat container simply can't "see" the files you are interested in. Unless you do something to make them available, the container won't be able to access logs on the host filesystem.

Thanks jarpy, @jarpy.
I finish the problem now. Thanks for your advice.
