Log Management, NetEye
Practical Application of the NetEye Log Management Module to visualize SMS Notifications
Sometimes it is not so visible how many SMS are sent by a NetEye Server and to whom. So it could be a good idea to give the sms-send-protocol file to the Log Management and to include it into the Elasticsearch Index. Then you may create a Dashboard in Kibana to show the usage of your SMS Modems, something like this:
How to realize this?
Add a logstash input file like this:
input {
file {
type =>"sms-protocol"
path =>"/var/log/neteye/smstool/sms-send-protocol.log"
start_position =>"beginning"
}
}
Add a logstash filter like this:
filter {
if [type] == "sms-protocol" {
grok {
patterns_dir =>"/var/lib/neteye/logstash/etc/pattern.d"
match =>[ "message", "%{SMS_TIMESTAMP_SHORT:sms_timestamp_text} %{WORD:timezone} %{YEAR}:%{INT:sms_phonenumber}:%{GREEDYDATA:sms_text}" ]
remove_tag =>"_grokparsefailure"
}
date {
locale =>"en"
match =>[ "sms_timestamp_text", "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss" ]
target =>"sms_timestamp"
}
}
}
Add a logstash output like this:
output {
if [type] == "sms-protocol" {
elasticsearch {
host =>["127.0.0.1"]
index =>"smsprotocol-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
codec =>"plain"
workers =>1
manage_template =>true
template_name =>"smsprotocol"
template_overwrite =>false
port =>9200
flush_size =>100
idle_flush_time =>1
protocol =>"http"
}
}
}
Create your Kibana4 Dashboard and enjoy!

NetEye Solution Architect at Würth IT Italy
I have over 20 years of experience in the IT branch. After first experiences in the field of software development for public transport companies, I finally decided to join the young and growing team of Würth Phoenix (now Würth IT Italy). Initially, I was responsible for the internal Linux/Unix infrastructure and the management of CVS software. Afterwards, my main challenge was to establish the meanwhile well-known IT System Management Solution WÜRTHPHOENIX NetEye. As a Product Manager I started building NetEye from scratch, analyzing existing open source models, extending and finally joining them into one single powerful solution. After that, my job turned into a passion: Constant developments, customer installations and support became a matter of personal. Today I use my knowledge as a NetEye Senior Consultant as well as NetEye Solution Architect at Würth Phoenix.
