That seems to be the way most people are doing it but I think in absence of syslog-ng not in place of it. But I don’t like the idea of waiting every XX minutes to see my ASA logs.
My understanding is the Logstash part of the ELK stack is not required if you use the syslog-ng Elasticsearch plugin.
yes, that's the point of the syslog-ng Elasticseach destination: you can build an ESK stack (Elasticsearch/syslog-ng/Kibana). pro Realtime data
pro No additional hop for your data.

They way I always liked doing it was to send all the logs via syslog regularly to your central collection server and use logstash file input to parse them in and shove into ES.

logstash-* index is for logs that have been ingested via logstash of course :)
every component of ELK scales horizontally extremely well.

May have misspoke. Using ELK and patterndb.xml is new to me and I am still trying to learn the mechanics.
I started by looking at Google for Kibana dashboard templates, one of the better results here. https://github.com/markwalkom/kibana-dashboards Most of the kibana json templates I have seen on the net are setup for a logstash-* “index” ?.
I’m trying to set Syslog-ng-> ELK up in my “spare time” at work. So time and ease of setup and support community size are big considerations. I want to enable GeoIP for ASA data, NetFlow data and be able to leverage existing templates logstash or patterndb for common applications. Apache, Linux Syslog, Storage syslog, etc…

Can you pls point me to the direction of the logstash material you mentioned? I would be interested in them whether it'd be possible to port them over. On Apr 20, 2016 7:00 PM, "Scot Needy" <scotrn@gmail.com> wrote:
Some thoughts on my deployment
*Logstash* I think I’m going to need to re-introduce logstash just to leverage the existing open source material of logstash filters and Kibana desktops. VMware, ASA for example but wanted more real time data. I could probably do the realtime tags with pattendb.
*syslog-ng counters* We use an IPAM API to create unique filters, log and destination conf files. The goal was to get unique syslog counters for every VLAN realtime directly from syslog-ng-ctl stats..
@include IPAM-filters filter f_192_168_252_0 { netmask(192.168.252.0/24);}; filter f_192_168_253_0 { netmask(192.168.253.0/24);}; filter f_192_168_254_0 { netmask(192.168.254.0/30);};
@include IPAM-dest.conf destination d_192_168_252_0 { file(/opt/syslog-ng/logs/192_168_252_0/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY-$HOUR-$HOST.log);}; destination d_192_168_253_0 { file(/opt/syslog-ng/logs/192_168_253_0/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY-$HOUR-$HOST.log);}; destination d_192_168_254_0 { file(/opt/syslog-ng/logs/192_168_254_0/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY-$HOUR-$HOST.log);};
@include IPAM-log.conf log { source(s_net); filter(f_192_168_252_0); destination(d_192_168_252_0);}; log { source(s_net); filter(f_192_168_253_0); destination(d_192_168_253_0);}; log { source(s_net); filter(f_192_168_254_0); destination(d_192_168_254_0);}; log { source(s_net); filter(f_192_168_254_4); destination(d_192_168_254_4);};

Hi,
Does anyone have links or care to share notes on making a syslog-ng -> ELK scale for enterprise ?
I have some ideas and will gladly share my solution but also don’t want to spend days figuring these things out that have already been built. There are many ELK specific references but I also want to make sure the model fits the syslog workload.
Thanks
