Logproxy

A microservice which acts as a logdrain and forwards messages to HSP Foundation logging. Supports the new v2 single tenant solution.

Features

  • Cloud foundry logdrain endpoint
  • IronIO project logging endpoint
  • Batch uploads messages (max 25) for good performance
  • Very lean, runs in just 32MB RAM
  • Plugin support
  • Filter only mode
  • OpenTracing support
  • IAM Service Identity support

Distribution

Logproxy is distributed as a Docker image:

docker pull philipssoftware/logproxy

Dependencies

By default Logproxy uses RabbitMQ for log buffering. This is useful for handlingspikes in log volume. You can also choose to use an internal Go channel based queue.

Environment variables

Variable Description Required Default
TOKEN Token to use as part of logdrain URL Yes
HSDP_LOGINGESTOR_PRODUCT_KEY Product key for v2 logging Yes (hsdp delivery)
LOGPROXY_SYSLOG Enable or disable Syslog drain No true
LOGPROXY_IRONIO Enable or disable IronIO drain No false
LOGPROXY_QUEUE Use specific queue (rabbitmq, channel) No rabbitmq
LOGPROXY_PLUGINDIR Search for plugins in this directory No
LOGPROXY_DELIVERY Select delivery type (hsdp, none, buffer) No hsdp
LOGPROXY_TRANSPORT_URL The Jaeager transport endpoint No

IAM Service Identity based authentication (recommended)

Variable Description Required Default
LOGPROXY_SERVICE_ID IAM Service ID Yes (hsdp delivery)
LOGPROXY_SERVICE_PRIVATE_KEY IAM Service Private Key Yes (hsdp delivery)
LOGPROXY_REGION IAM Region Yes (hsdp delivery) us-east
LOGPROXY_ENV IAM Environment Yes (hsdp delivery) cllient-test

API Signing based authentication

Variable Description Required Default
HSDP_LOGINGESTOR_KEY HSDP logging service Key Yes (hsdp delivery)
HSDP_LOGINGESTOR_SECRET HSDP logging service Secret Yes (hsdp delivery)
HSDP_LOGINGESTOR_URL HSPD logging service endpoint Yes (hsdp delivery)

Building

Requirements

Compiling

Clone the repo somewhere (preferably outside your GOPATH):

$ git clone https://github.com/philips-software/logproxy.git
$ cd logproxy
$ docker build .

Installation

See the below manifest.yml file as an example.

applications:
- name: logproxy
  domain: your-domain.com
  docker:
    image: philipssoftware/logproxy:latest
  instances: 2
  memory: 64M
  disk_quota: 512M
  routes:
  - route: logproxy.your-domain.com
  env:
    HSDP_LOGINGESTOR_KEY: SomeKey
    HSDP_LOGINGESTOR_SECRET: SomeSecret
    HSDP_LOGINGESTOR_URL: https://logingestor-int2.us-east.philips-healthsuite.com
    HSDP_LOGINGESTOR_PRODUCT_KEY: product-uuid-here
    TOKEN: RandomTokenHere
  services:
  - rabbitmq
  stack: cflinuxfs3

Push your application:

cf push

If everything went OK logproxy should now be reachable on https://logproxy.your-domain.com . The logdrain endpoint would then be:

https://logproxy.your-domain.com/syslog/drain/RandomTokenHere

Configure logdrains

Syslog

In each space where you have apps running for which you'd like to drain logs define a user defined service called logproxy:

cf cups logproxy -l https://logproxy.your-domain.com/syslog/drain/RandomTokenHere

Then, bind this service to any app which should deliver their logs:

cf bind-service some-app logproxy

and restart the app to activate the logdrain:

cf restart some-app

Logs should now start flowing from your app all the way to HSDP logging infra through logproxy. You can use Kibana for log searching.

Structured logs

Below is an example of an HSDP LogEvent resource type for reference

{
  "resourceType": "LogEvent",
  "id": "7f4c85a8-e472-479f-b772-2916353d02a4",
  "applicationName": "OPS",
  "eventId": "110114",
  "category": "TRACELOG",
  "component": "TEST",
  "transactionId": "2abd7355-cbdd-43e1-b32a-43ec19cd98f0",
  "serviceName": "OPS",
  "applicationInstance": "INST‐00002",
  "applicationVersion": "1.0.0",
  "originatingUser": "SomeUsr",
  "serverName": "ops-dev.apps.internal",
  "logTime": "2017-01-31T08:00:00Z",
  "severity": "INFO",
  "logData": {
    "message": "Test message"
  },
  "custom": {
  		"key1": "val1",
  		"key2": { "innerkey": "innervalue" }
   }
}

IronIO

The IronIO logdrain is available on this endpoint: /ironio/drain/:token

You can configure via the iron.io settings screen of your project:

settings screen

Field Mapping

Logproxy maps the IronIO field to Syslog fields as follows

IronIO field Syslog field LogEvent field
task_id ProcID applicationInstance
code_name AppName applicationName
project_id Hostname serverName
message Message logData.message

Filter only mode

You may choose to operate Logproxy in Filter only mode. It will listen for messages on the logdrain endpoints, run these through any active filter plugins and then discard instead of delivering them to HSDP logging. This is useful if you are using plugins for real-time processing only. To enable filter only mode set LOGPROXY_DELIVERY to none

...
env:
  LOGPROXY_DELIVERY: none
...

See the Logproxy plugins project for more details on plugins.
