Hm, that certainly doesn't sound right. I just tested on one here:
[elk_user@sof-elk ~]$ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep 9995
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9995 0.0.0.0:* 2128/java
FWI, that should be reported (with a different PID, of course) even if the firewall is not open. I can't think of a reason that port would not be listening unless the entire logstash pipeline was crashed. Do you have anything in /var/log/logstash/logstash-plain.log
that may provide insight? You should be able to search for 9995
to get close.
I have the following on the same system as the netstat
command was run:
[2023-10-27T20:18:49,410][INFO ][logstash.inputs.udp ][main][945ed0156c99a0f45b4236702e814c70f307cd0e60221a10d3f8b12aa3bc11b0] Starting UDP listener {:address=>"0.0.0.0:9995"}
Also, the next release of the VM will use a new NetFlow ingest via filebeat. Not a help now, but that is running reliably in dev at this time.
Thanks for your help. I see some warnings about a cache file not being present in the logstash-plain.log. I'll do a reinstall first to exclude some weird user error on my side. Will report back when done to see if this issue was fixed for me.
sure thing. if you're seeing a template cache error, that's expected.
[2023-10-27T20:17:39,274][WARN ][logstash.codecs.netflow ] Template Cache does not exist {:file_path=>"/var/lib/logstash//netflow_templates.cache"}
let me know what you find!
On a clean install the listener is coming up just fine. Opened the port and the NetFlow data is received! No idea what was wrong on the previous install, but... fixed! Thanks for your pointers :)
OK great! Glad to hear. That input has historically been quite stable, but has become a little flaky recently. I suspect that's somewhat related to Elastic's move from the native input to Filebeat - which we'll have enabled instead for the future version (along with proper NetFlow v9 handling and much more!)
Glad it's working!
Hello! I recently installed sof-elk to capture some NetFlow data transmitted from an OPNsense router. Via fw_modify.sh -a open -p 9995 -r udp as root I opened the port on the local firewall. But netstat -tulpn does not show a listener on port 9995. I verified the logstash config file is present (/usr/local/sof-elk/configfiles/0200-input-netflow.conf) and seems correct which defines the input. Am I missing something here?
Kind regards,
