<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I would try mysql/mariadb tweaks also:<br>
- index(or indices) on one or more column(s) of the mysql table according to the queries of loganalyzer<br>
- check the different cache and buffer options in your mysql conf<br>
- my opinion and experience is that mysql partitioning can do magic on this amount of data. A query could run only on few gigs portion of data (and a good indexing accelerates the query of these few gigs also).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Unfortunately your mongodb problem remains open.</p>

Still have the same problem no info on date no nothing. The
strange part is that when i open a specific log i have all the
info. The only problem is where on a first page on the LogAnalyzer
i don't have this problems. <br>
<br>
And yes again we may have two problems: One is the DB information
how its stored, and by this i think we stored as we should, but do
i have to configure some tables in the MongoDB or columns or
something ( that is how i did it with MySQL ). The second is
something wrong with the LogAnalyzer so now im going to
reconfigure with PostgreSQL and again with MySQL to see if
something will be change.</font></div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>

<div>Do you know in what type does loganalyzer expect the

<div>AFAIK, by default, syslog-ng sends everything as string,
but for the mongodb destination, you can specify the data
type, see <a href="https://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-guide-admin/html/specifying-data-types.html" target="_blank">https://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-guide-admin/html/specifying-data-types.html</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Try sending the date as datetime, and the others as
numbers, maybe it helps.</div>

i just thought of that and goggling how to add columns
or some other similar scenarios, i think that the
problem lays on how syslog-ng send the logs in the DB.
Or how DB is storing this messages. As i have not
configure nothing on the MongoDB just username and
password for already created DB by the syslog-ng. <br>
<br>
If some one have some tips, ill be happy to try it :)<br>

Jim, <br>
Thanks for the feedback. <br>
The problem is that im trying to monitor
big infrastructure ( 200 Physical servers
and more than 1000 VMs ). So currently i
have install with MongoDB and have 300MB
for one week monitoring just two VMs. The
server syslog-ng and one client VM. Also i
have used before syslog-ng with MariaDB
(MySQL) but i have problem that i have 90%
CPU Load when i used MySQL. I can't fix
it. But now using MongoDB i have other
problems. Using LogAnalyzer i can't see
the "Date", "Facility", Serverity etc. on
a main page but when i go to the log
itself or i open it i can see all this
informations. So i have the following<br>
<br>
1. Syslog-NG with MySQL and LogAnalyzer (
works ok but CPU Usage was big ) <br>
2. Syslog-NG with MongoDB and LogAnalyzer
( works ok but no informations shown on a
first page ) <br>
<br>
So i can't find solutions and i need this
sh*** up and running ASAP :) <br>
<br>
Any solutions or suggestions im open to
see it !<br>
<br>
Kind regards<span><font color="#888888"><br>

<pre>My 2 cents (what works for you depends on your infrastructure, resources and capabilities)
I like the model where syslog-ng does all the following:
- writes text files of the raw data (that way - whatever your search head is can re-ingest files later using basically the same parsers)
- filters out highly false-positive prone data from being forwarded
- handles parsing of data elements (using patterndb or whatever) and sends specific information to a search engine (like Elasticsearch)
- forwards specific data (based on security use cases) to a SIEM
Whether you use Elasticsearch, mongo, splunk, or whatever is really up to you and your budget.
That said, I find syslog-ng to elasticsearch directly with kibana as the front end is *very* scalable for a search engine.
As far as a SIEM - it's kind of up to you.
Good luck,
Jim

<pre>Hi all,
What is the best practice for storing all those logs in one central
environment. I have one Linux Box running Syslog-NG with LogAnalyzer and
MongoDB ( for now ), and is the best way to configure and use it with
MongoDB or with MariaDB ( MySQL ) ? I have once install MySQL but it was
getting very slow as the logs getting bigger and bigger ( for one week ).
Now i have done with MongoDB ( still testing ) but i have problem as
LogAnalyzer does not show me the real pictures, i have no Date info, no
Facility, no serverity, Hosts, syslogtag, i just have ProcessID.
Any hints on this ?
I have the following configuration on the syslog-ng.cfg:
destination d_mongodb {
mongodb(
servers("localhost:27017")
database("logs")
# uri('mongodb://localhost/syslog-ng')
collection("syslog")
value-pairs(
scope("selected-macros" "nv-pairs" "sdata")
)
);
};
Kind regards
Ivan
