【RSYSLOG】rsyslog作为日志采集器安装配置说明

RSYSLOG is the rocket-fast system for log processing.

About

由于环境基于CentOS 6.7 x64，rsyslog本身就是OS的组件，由于本文使用rsyslog作为统一日志采集器，需要与kafka进行数据交付，而原始支持kafka组件是在v8.7.0以后版本才支持，而系统自带的rsyslog是版本是v5的，因此需要对rsyslog版本进行升级。

有网的方法比较简单，通过yum命令即可，官网参考官网 http://www.rsyslog.com/rhelcentos-rpms/ 即可安装指定版本。

安装说明

由于鉴于内网环境无Internet无法使用yum进行安装，因此选择离线rpm方式升级rsyslog（rpm包下载地址：http://rpms.adiscon.com/ ）。

此处有坑：按习惯，一般使用官网提供的最新的稳定版/v8-stable/epel-7，然而由于CentOS 6.7 glibc版本为2.12而epel-7依赖的libgt-0.3.11-1.el7.x86_64、libfastjson-0.99.2-1.el7.x86_64、libestr-0.1.10-1.el7.x86_64几个组件需要 libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14，CentOS 6.7升级后会提示bash版本有问题，因此此处选用/v8-stable/epel-6版本（ps：此坑是个人问题，centos6.x本来就应该使用epel-6，因此此坑可忽略）

需要下载的rpm

可在http://rpms.adiscon.com/v8-stable/epel-6/x86_64/RPMS/ 获取

• json-c-0.11-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
• libfastjson-0.99.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
• libgt-0.3.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
• libestr-0.1.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
• liblogging-1.0.5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
• librdkafka1-0.8.5-0.x86_64.rpm
• rsyslog-kafka-8.19.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
• rsyslog-8.19.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

rpm安装

执行安装前 先给没个文件加上运行属性 chmod +x

rpm -ivh  json-c-0.11-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh libfastjson-0.99.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh libgt-0.3.11-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh libestr-0.1.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh liblogging-1.0.5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh librdkafka1-0.8.5-0.x86_64.rpm
#这边使用 -U 参数是为了直接升级本地rsyslog
rpm -Uvh rsyslog-8.19.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
#rsyslog-kafka组件安装依赖 rsyslog-8.19.0及librdkafka，该命令最后执行
rpm -ivh rsyslog-kafka-8.19.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

验证安装

• 安装完后执行 rsyslogd -v , 验证rsyslog是否升级成功。

# rsyslogd -v
rsyslogd 8.19.0, compiled with:
        PLATFORM:                               x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
        PLATFORM (lsb_release -d):
        FEATURE_REGEXP:                         Yes

• 查看/lib64/rsyslog/（32位系统为 /lib/rsyslog） 中 是否存在 omkafka.so，验证rsyslog-kafka是否安装成功。

配置说明

rsyslog官网是个大坑，能路过尽量路过。

接下来说明下配置，首先声明下本文使用rsyslog的目的是作为应用的log collector，应用使用log4x(log4net:log4net.Appender.RemoteSyslogAppender, log4j:org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender)，通过UDP协议将日志传输到rsyslog。

rsyslo的默认的配置文件 /etc/rsyslog.config

# rsyslog configuration file
# note that most of this config file uses old-style format,
# because it is well-known AND quite suitable for simple cases
# like we have with the default config. For more advanced
# things, RainerScript configuration is suggested.
# For more information see /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-*/rsyslog_conf.html
# If you experience problems, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/troubleshoot.html
#### MODULES ####
module(load="imuxsock") # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command)
module(load="imklog")   # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd)
#module(load"immark")  # provides --MARK-- message capability
# Provides UDP syslog reception
# for parameters see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imudp.html
#module(load="imudp") # needs to be done just once
#input(type="imudp" port="514")
# Provides TCP syslog reception
# for parameters see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imtcp.html
#module(load="imtcp") # needs to be done just once
#input(type="imtcp" port="514")
#### GLOBAL DIRECTIVES ####
# Use default timestamp format
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
# File syncing capability is disabled by default. This feature is usually not required,
# not useful and an extreme performance hit
#$ActionFileEnableSync on
# Include all config files in /etc/rsyslog.d/
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
#### RULES ####

接下来说明配置修改：

配置 input

• 开启接收UDP消息

module(load="imudp") # 加载imudp模块
input(type="imudp" port="514") # 配置UDP监听的端口号

配置 output

• 开启数据转发kafka

 module(load="omkafka") # 配置加载omkafka模块
 # 转发到kafka消息格式
template(name="rsyslogToKafka" type="list" option.json="on"){
        constant(value="{")
        #constant(value="\"timestamp\":\"") property(name="timereported" dateFormat="rfc3339")
        constant(value="\"message\":\"") property(name="msg" format="json")
        constant(value="\",\"host\":\"") property(name="hostname")
        constant(value="\",\"severity\":\"") property(name="syslogseverity")
        constant(value="\",\"severity-text\":\"") property(name="syslogseverity-text")
        constant(value="\",\"facility\":\"") property(name="syslogfacility-text")
        constant(value="\",\"syslogtag\":\"") property(name="syslogtag")
        constant(value="\",\"type\":\"application\"")
        constant(value=",\"recieve-from\":\"") property(name="fromhost-ip")
        constant(value="\",\"recieve-at\":\"") property(name="timegenerated" dateFormat="rfc3339")
        constant(value="\",\"report-at\":\"") property(name="timereported" dateFormat="rfc3339")
        constant(value="\"}")
}
# 配置kafka相关信息及模板
action( type="omkafka"
        topic="test"
        broker="11.4.74.26:9092"
        template="rsyslogToKafka"
)

• 另外一个坑:关于EscapeControlCharacters转换的问题

rsyslog接收的时候会对一些回车换行等敏感字符进行转换 比如 \r\n 会被转换为#015#012，而通过log4x提交的日志如果包含Exception在kibana显示就不能正常的换行，因此关闭了rsyslog中敏感字的转换
