Nagios Support Forum

Hello all,

I'd like to use my nagioslogserver to write F5 logs directly to it. The F5 company states they only support Splunk logging. Is there a way to write a text formatted messages to the log server? I would particularly like to receive the logs for ASM. But my filters aren't working as the messages come in text format. Right now i get data all globbed together.

Can someone help me with this?

Greg

Greg,

This should not be a problem. What I would like from your end is a few full logs that you're receiving on Nagios Log Server. Take the globbed results (probably from the 'messages' field) and post the results here - I'd like to see at least 3-4 logs to ensure that I can help you generate a proper filter. I'm also interested in seeing your current input/filter.

Thanks!


Jesse

I'm interested to see if the Splunk output works. Sending F5 logs myself to NLS. I'm working on a set of filters for F5 load balancer. Check out https://github.com/willemdh/logstash_filter_f5 It does need some work though.

Joel,

Here is the output from the messages field on my NLS

Willem,

I've used some of your notes to get started. They have been very helpful. However nowhere in your documentation do you include your patterns

E.G. F5SEQ:f5_sequence and F5ID:f5_seqid. Those seem crucial to get your examples working correctly. Can you provide me your grok patterns for these.

Thanks again!

Greg

Here you go:
I didn't think of adding them. I'll do that asap.

What f5 'program' is the log you showed in the example. The log looks different.

Looks like Willem has a handle on this thread.

prhunixadmin, let us know if Willems' solution works for you. Thanks!

Hello,

Still having issues with this filter. I've setup the patterns and modified Wilhem's configuration to suit my needs. I've created seperate log output for f5 error messages. Here is what im seeing.
