[syslog-ng] syslog-ng to elasticsearch

[Mike Lewis]

Hi,

I’m having some issues trying to setup (syslog-ng v3.7.2) an elastic search destination. ES 2.2.0.

In my syslog-ng.conf file, I have the destination defined as:

destination d_elasticsearch {
     elasticsearch(
         index("syslog-ng_${YEAR}.${MONTH}.${DAY}")
         type("syslog-ng")
         class-path("/usr/lib64/syslog-ng/java-modules/*.jar:/usr/lib/syslog-ng-java-module-dependency-jars/jars/*.jar:/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/*.jar:/usr/share/elasticsearch/modules/*.jar")
          client_mode("transport")
         server("172.16.100.137")
         port("9300")
         cluster("dev-elasticsearch")
          template("$(format-json -s all-nv-pairs -p @timestamp=$ISODATE -p @message=$MSG)")
     );
 };


However, in the elastic search logs, I just see an exception through on each connection attempt:


[2016-03-04 06:33:00,737][WARN ][transport.netty          ] [node-1] exception caught on transport layer [[id: 0xe12086b7, /172.16.100.137:52583 => /172.16.100.137:9300]], closing connection
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Message not fully read (request) for requestId [0], action [cluster/state], readerIndex [34] vs expected [49]; resetting
        at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.MessageChannelHandler.messageReceived(MessageChannelHandler.java:120)

Has anyone come across this issues previously?

Regards,
Mike Lewis
