Coralogix provides a seamless integration with Packetbeat so you can send your network usage logs from anywhere and parse them according to your needs.

This document includes cluster dependent URL’s. Each URL has a variable part (in Italic). Please match this part with a row entry within the following table. Copy the table row entry located under the column that matches the top level domain of your Coralogix account (.com, .in etc.). Replace the variable part of the URL with this entry.

Prerequisites

General

Private Key – Your Send Your Data – API Key is a unique ID that represents your company.

Company Id – A unique number that represents your company. You can get your company id from the settings tab in the Coralogix dashboard.

Application Name – The name of your main application, for example, a company named “SuperData” would probably insert the “SuperData” string parameter or if they want to debug their test environment they might insert the “SuperData– Test”.

SubSystem Name – Your application probably has multiple subsystems, for example: Backend servers, Middleware, Frontend servers etc. in order to help you examine the data you need, inserting the subsystem parameter is vital.

Configuration

Open your Packetbeat configuration file and configure it to use Logstash. For more information about configuring Packetbeat to use Logstash please refer to the documentation.

Point your Packetbeat to output to the Coralogix Logstash server:

logstashserver.Cluster URL:5015

In addition, you should add the Coralogix configuration from the General section.

Here is a basic example of packetbeat.yml for watching HTTP packages:

#========================== Network targets to watch ===========================

packetbeat.interfaces.device: any
packetbeat.protocols:
- type: http
  ports: [80, 8080, 8000, 5000, 8002]
  hide_keywords: ["pass", "password", "passwd"]
  send_headers: ["User-Agent", "Cookie", "Set-Cookie"]
  split_cookie: true
  real_ip_header: "X-Forwarded-For"

fields_under_root: true
fields:
  PRIVATE_KEY: "YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"
  COMPANY_ID: YOUR_COMPANY_ID
  APP_NAME: "APP_NAME"
  SUB_SYSTEM: "SUB_NAME"

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------

ttl: 60s
ssl.certificate_authorities: ["<path to folder with certificates>\\ca.crt"]
