2. Versions

RSX is a syslog-ng - elasticsearch - kibana driven syslog server. This combination allows you to dump and store a lot of syslog messages with almost no performance decrease in searches. RSX has multiple enterprise grade options.

RSC is a syslog-ng - CLI - PHP GUI driven syslog server. This combination is for low powered dives like a Rapspberry Pi and for small environments. Depending on the functionality RSC will run fine with more then 1000 devices, but tuning is required.

RS Core is a syslog-ng - CLI driven syslog server. This environment can be used in small/lab/test environments. It is very small and compact. The setup can be done within within minutes.

3. Config files

Default locations configuration/files:

Syslog-ng global config:       /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
Syslog-ng additional configs:  /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/99*
Kibana global config:          /etc/kibana/kibana.yml
Elasticsearch global config:   /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

Filebeat netflow:              /etc/filebeat/modules.d/netflow.yml

4. RSE Development version

RSE is a new version of Remote Syslog which has the same functionality of RSC but the backend is running Elasticsearch. It can be tested within the following setup:

Confirmed setups:

Tested for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS virtual machine.
Tested for Ubuntu 21.04 Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB RAM)

Quick installation:

git clone https://www.github.com/tslenter/RS
cd RS
chmod +x rseinstaller
sudo ./rseinstaller
Option 1 => RSE Core installation
Option 1 => Core installation

sudo ./rseinstaller
Optional webinsterface:
Option 2 => RSE webinterface installation
Option 2 => Install RSE WEB

Use SSH to run the CLI commands. Updated commands:

rseview
rseinstaller
rseuser

Webinterface is running @ port 443 (SSL)

5. Security

All external connections are encrypted with TLS/SSL, this includes the API on port 8080, SSH and HTTP for user login. Authentication is run by the PAM modules, so all users with a account can login. To restrict user login use the apache2 configuration and add all the users that are allowed to login.

To update the certificates, copy the new certificates to the following directory:

/etc/cert/

After you installed the new certificates, update the apache2 configuration. File location:

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

6. Installation

6.1 Quick start

a. Install a clean debian 9.x or Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS distro.

b. Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/tslenter/RSX-RSC.git
cd RSX-RSC
chmod +x rsinstaller
./rsinstaller
Choose option 1 to install the core
Choose option 10 to install the RSC version (Remote Syslog Classic)
Choose option 12 to install the RSX version

c. RSX is only supported on Ubuntu 18.04.2 or higher and Debian 10.x or higher

6.2 Local user management

The "rsuser" command is used to add or remove users from Remote Syslog X/C.

Add a user without cli access:

rsuser <username> add web-only

Add a user with cli access:

rsuser <username> add

Remove a user:

rsuser <username> rm

6.3 RSX Cluster

With build 52 of RSX 0.1 clustering is supported. RSX will load the default configuration. Feel free to add some best practice option, found here:

https://logz.io/blog/elasticsearch-cluster-tutorial/

Check the cluster health by running the following command:

curl -XGET -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true

Expected output:

{
  "cluster_name" : "rsx",
  "status" : "green",
  "timed_out" : false,
  "number_of_nodes" : 3,
  "number_of_data_nodes" : 3,
  "active_primary_shards" : 10,
  "active_shards" : 20,
  "relocating_shards" : 0,
  "initializing_shards" : 0,
  "unassigned_shards" : 0,
  "delayed_unassigned_shards" : 0,

10. Known issues

10.1 Disk full by Geo2

Message in logging:

Jan 27 10:24:50 plisk002.prd.corp syslog-ng[1793]: geoip2(): getaddrinfo failed; gai_error='Name or service not known', ip='', location='/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/99X-Checkpoint.conf:32:25'
Jan 27 10:24:50 plisk002.prd.corp syslog-ng[1793]: geoip2(): maxminddb error; error='Unknown error code', ip='', location='/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/99X-Checkpoint.conf:32:25'

Components needed for fix:

File: /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

File destinations:

d_syslog
d_error

Log rules:

- log { source(s_src); filter(f_syslog3); destination(d_syslog); };
- log { source(s_src); filter(f_error); destination(d_error); };

Fix: Edit:

vi /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

Add rules:

filter geoip_messages_1 { not match("Name or service not known"); };
filter geoip_messages_2 { not match("Unknown error code"); };

Change rules:

-log { source(s_src); filter(f_syslog3); destination(d_syslog); };
-log { source(s_src); filter(f_error); destination(d_error); };
+log { source(s_src); filter(f_syslog3); filter(geoip_messages_1); filter(geoip_messages_2); destination(d_syslog); };
+log { source(s_src); filter(f_error); filter(geoip_messages_1); filter(geoip_messages_2); destination(d_error); };

10.2 Kibana not loaded after upgrade

Restarting the server will solve this problem. Some report that a restart of the Kibana or Elasticsearch will fix the issue.

service elasticsearch restart
service kibana restart

10.3 Data too large, data for [] (JVM heap size)

10.4 Syslog-NG 3.27.1 breaks with new upgrade on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04

Error message:

dpkg: error processing package syslog-ng-mod-sql (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of syslog-ng-mod-redis:
 syslog-ng-mod-redis depends on syslog-ng-core (>= 3.27.1-2); however:
  Package syslog-ng-core is not configured yet.
 syslog-ng-mod-redis depends on syslog-ng-core (<< 3.27.1-2.1~); however:
  Package syslog-ng-core is not configured yet.

Fix:

Backup configuration

mkdir ~/syslog-ng_backup/
cp -rf /etc/syslog-ng/* ~/syslog-ng_backup/

Verify configuration

ls ~/syslog-ng_backup/

Purge syslog-ng and remove everything

sudo apt purge syslog-ng-core

If some files remain, delete them all

rm -rf /etc/syslog-ng

Reinstall syslog-ng-core

sudo apt install syslog-ng-core

Reinstall syslog-ng

sudo apt install syslog-ng

Cleanup some packages

sudo apt auto-remove

Restore RS configuration files

cp ~/syslog-ng_backup/conf.d/99* /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/

If you edited the /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file, check the difference and restore your custom configuration.

This issue should be fixed in version 3.27.1-2.1.

10.5 My elasticsearch does not recieve any logging, but everything is fine

You probably should check the date. If the date is not correct run in the CLI as root: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

This allows you to configure the timezone.

The next thing to check is within the Kibana console Management => Advanced Settings => Timezone for date formatting => setup the right timezone.

11. Default API queries for Elasticsearch

Find all indexes:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices'

Find cluster disk space:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_cat/allocation?v&pretty'

12. Configuration checks

Logstash test new config:

/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --config.test_and_exit -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/97-rsmdefault.conf --path.settings /etc/logstash/

13. Upgrades

13.1 Upgrade from Remote Syslog 1.x

Manual remove Remote Syslog 1.x with the following bash script:

echo "File is only present if local syslog is activated"
rm -rf /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/99-remote-local.conf
echo "Remove configuration files"
rm -rf /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/99-remote.conf
rm -rf /etc/logrotate.d/remotelog
rm -rf /etc/colortail/conf.colortail
rm -rf /opt/remotesyslog
echo "Remove binary files"
rm -rf /usr/bin/rsview
rm -rf /usr/bin/rsinstaller
echo "Removing legacy GUI website …"
rm -rf /var/www/html/favicon.ico
rm -rf /var/www/html/index.php
rm -rf /var/www/html/indexs.php
rm -rf /var/www/html/jquery-latest.js
rm -rf /var/www/html/loaddata.php
echo "Remove packages …"
apt -y purge apache2 apache2-utils php libapache2-mod-php syslog-ng colortail
apt -y autoremove
echo "Reinstall rsyslog"
apt -y install rsyslog

After the removal of Remote Syslog 1.x, install the new RSX or RSC. The old syslog data is still available through RSC or RSX but only in plain text.

More information over Remote Syslog 1.x: https://github.com/tslenter/Remote_Syslog

13.2 Upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04

First update rsinstaller:

rsinstaller
Select option: 3

Build 56 or higher is recommended.

Upgrade commands:

apt update && sudo apt upgrade
#You probably run in a syslog-ng rdkafka error. This will stop the installation. Therefore we added "apt install -f".
#This only effects version 3.27.1 and was fixed in 3.27.1-2.
apt install -f
reboot
apt install update-manager-core
do-release-upgrade -d

It appears that the package "syslog-ng-mod-rdkafka" has some conflics with the core configuration, If you run in this error, try to uninstall this package:

#This only effects version 3.27.1 and was fixed in 3.27.1-2.
apt remove syslog-ng-mod-rdkafka

After the upgrade there is a issue with the Apache2 configuration: Edit the following file: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php7.2.load and change:

-LoadModule php7_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.2.so
+LoadModule php7_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.4.so

Check to /var/log/syslog for errors. We found 2 errors and this depends on which platform you run the RSX server. Error 1 || DNS message:

Apr 30 20:56:22 lusysl003 systemd-resolved[923]: Server returned error NXDOMAIN, mitigating potential DNS violation DVE-2018-0001, retrying transaction with reduced feature level UDP

Recreate symlink will fix this issue:

ln -sfn /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

or

rm /etc/resolv.conf
ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

Error 2 || If you run the server on ESXi you get the following error:

Apr 30 12:47:53 plisk001.prd.corp multipathd[856]: sdb: add missing path
Apr 30 12:47:53 plisk001.prd.corp multipathd[856]: sdb: failed to get udev uid: Invalid argument
Apr 30 12:47:53 plisk001.prd.corp multipathd[856]: sdb: failed to get sysfs uid: Invalid argument
Apr 30 12:47:53 plisk001.prd.corp multipathd[856]: sdb: failed to get sgio uid: No such file or directory

Edit the following file /etc/multipath.conf to fix this issue:

+blacklist {
+    device {
+        vendor "VMware"
+        product "Virtual disk"
+    }
+}

After that restart the deamon:

systemctl restart multipath-tools

16 Tips for RSX

Make a good lifecycle policy to prevent a full disk (Just monitor it for some time).
By default text file storage is enabled. When using the elastic-based stack you can disable this by editing the syslog-ng config. (If this is disabled the "rsview" command gives no new output). Text-based storage use can be lowered by the RSX installer.
Everything is built in a block structure so you can disable default services and add your own. This block structure allows you to disable the RSX concept and go an elastic stack setup, or something else.
By default everything Syslog can be received at port 514 UDP/TCP, we do recommend 514/UDP and no 514/TCP (UDP is faster and we recommend that for all services).
RSX is capable of running a cluster setup, we recommend a cluster of 3 for full redundancy. When running a cluster make sure you create a good update plan.
By default we use Syslog-ng as core, this parses all syslog data. If you like to create fields for smart searches within the Kibana interface this is required.
Check out the active directory (AD) setup. The RSX authentication page works with Linux PAM. PAM can beconfigured to use a AD.
The default login name for RSX is the created with the Debian/Ubuntu installation. Do NOT use a root user! If you only created a root user, create a noraml user account for the login.
We do have some patterns preconfigured. (CheckPoint, Cisco, Microsoft, F5, and more) You probably need to edit them to match the infrastructure.
Because we use open source software everything is free and patterns can be found with a good google search as well.
