个人博客地址：使用RSyslog将Nginx Access Log写入Kafka | 一张假钞的真实世界

环境说明

• CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611
• kafka_2.12-0.10.2.2
• nginx/1.12.2
• rsyslog-8.24.0-34.el7.x86_64.rpm

创建测试Topic

$ ./kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper 192.168.72.25:2181/kafka --create --topic develop-test-topic --partitions 10 --replication-factor 3

RSyslog安装

一般系统自带RSyslog服务无需另外安装。但是因为数据需要通过RSyslog的omkafka模块写入到Kafka，而omkafka在RSyslog的v8.7.0+版本才支持，所以要看当前系统中RSyslog的版本是否需要升级。使用以下命令查看：

# rsyslogd -v
rsyslogd 7.4.7, compiled with:FEATURE_REGEXP:				YesFEATURE_LARGEFILE:			NoGSSAPI Kerberos 5 support:		YesFEATURE_DEBUG (debug build, slow code):	No32bit Atomic operations supported:	Yes64bit Atomic operations supported:	YesRuntime Instrumentation (slow code):	Nouuid support:				YesSee http://www.rsyslog.com for more information.

执行以下命令安装：

# sudo yum install rsyslog

安装依赖关系如下：

添加omkafka模块

# yum install rsyslog-kafka

RSyslog Client Nginx配置

注意，Nginx 1.7.1之后才支持syslog的方式处理日志。具体配置项参见官网文档Logging to syslog。

Nginx配置主要是日志格式和Access Log配置项：

log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" ''$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" ''"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';server {listen 11000;location / {proxy_pass http://10.16.0.144:11000;access_log syslog:server=localhost,facility=local7,tag=nginx11000Root,severity=info main;}
}

RSyslog Server端配置

RSyslog的主配置文件/etc/rsyslog.conf，其中会包含引入/etc/rsyslog.d下扩展名为conf的配置文件。

修改配置文件/etc/rsyslog.conf将下面两行前面的注释去掉：

$ ModLoad imudp
$ UDPServerRun 514

在/etc/rsyslog.d目录下创建rsyslog_nginx_kafka_cluster.conf，配置内容如下：

module(load="imudp")
input(type="imudp" port="514")# nginx access log ==> rsyslog server(local) ==> kafka
module(load="omkafka")template(name="nginx-11000-root" type="string" string="%msg%")if $inputname == "imudp" then {if ($programname == "nginx11000Root") thenaction(type="omkafka"template="nginx-11000-root"broker=["192.168.72.10:9092","192.168.72.20:9092","192.168.72.25:9092","192.168.72.26:9092","192.168.72.27:9092","192.168.72.48:9092","192.168.72.55:9092","192.168.72.80:9092","192.168.72.81:9092","192.168.72.97:9092"]topic="develop-test-topic"partitions.auto="on"confParam=["socket.keepalive.enable=true"])
}:rawmsg, contains, "nginx11000Root" ~

联调测试

启动RSyslog服务：

# service rsyslog start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start  rsyslog.service

遇到的问题

syslog tag 只能包含字母和数字

# nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] syslog "tag" only allows alphanumeric characters and underscore in     /etc/nginx/conf.d/jx-11000-jenkins149-36-144.conf:7
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

‘omkafka’ is unknown

RSyslog中没有包含omkafka模块，需要另外安装。查看/var/log/messages日志信息会有以下提示：

# tail -f messages

CentOS 6.5升级Rsyslog

CentOS 6.5自带的RSyslog版本是rsyslogd 5.8.10。按照以下方式安装新版本：

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
# wget http://rpms.adiscon.com/v8-stable/rsyslog.repo
# yum install rsyslog
