Hi
I get the following error when running the container:
tcp.go:26: WARN DNS lookup failure "'logstash.foo": lookup 'logstash.foo: invalid domain name
My yaml file looks like:
- name: LOGSTASH_HOSTS
value: "'logstash.foo:5959'"
The container works correctly if I pass logstash.foo:5959
in filebeat.yml
e.g.
hosts: ["logstash.foo:5959"]
Any ideas?
My filebeat DaemonSet was not able to read any container log files using the provided yaml. I kept getting error: stat (logfile-path.log) no such file or directory.
To fix the issue I had to also mount the /var/log/pods directory into the container.
I wasn't able to track down the exact change log, but I believe this is due to changes with how the log files are mounted in kubernetes 1.6.
My working daemonset:

PS. Thanks for putthing this project together, it saved my quite a bit of time.
For k8s-1.6 you need to add:
tolerations:
- key: node-role.kubernetes.io/master
effect: NoSchedule
to get it running on the masters since they are launched with taints.
In my container, the variables in /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml wouldn't replaced, how does the process works?
Today it shows the pod name as host.
The FluentD daemonset (https://github.com/fluent/fluentd-kubernetes-daemonset) follows a better practice, it shows the physical name of the node the log is coming from.
I'm thinking that the physical name would be more helpful in a troubleshooting situation. Patterns pointing to node failure would be easier to identify. Plus showing the pod name is kinda redundant. It's showing up in other fields as well.
Hello, I started using the container recently, its working great so far. However, its an env variable to add the cluster_name is your are running multiple clusters. However, I'm unable to see that field after shipping our logs through our logging pipeline. We are using shipping to logstash 5.2.2
. This is not a big deal for us at the moment, but wanted to bring this to your attention.
Hi,
I'm also trying to use filebeat + ELK instead of a default fluentd solution to collect k8s logs, and this repository is really helpful. Thank you!
Could I just ask you why you're mounting the original log stored location /var/lib/docker/containers, not only /var/log/containers with readonly permission? Is it necessary to run this container?
Should probably use ConfigMaps to customize filebeat.yml
Seems the Filebeat config only ships the pod logs from /var/log/containers/*.log
I'm running Kubernetes in Rancher where Kubernetes itself is containerized and logs to the standard /var/lib/docker/containers folder. Now these files are not as nicely named as the symlinked ones in /var/log/containers, but they hold very important information, like the kubelet log.
Is this shipper aiming to solve this problem?
