<p>When <a href="https://www.elastic.co/products/stack/security">security features</a> are enabled in Elasticsearch, it is possible to enable an audit log as well. This log contains events that occur in the Elasticsearch node that might be interesting from a security perspective. To analyze these events easily, they can be indexed back into Elasticsearch, preferably into a separate cluster from the one that's generating the events. This blog post explains how this indexing feature has changed in recent times.
</p><p>Until version 6.7.0 of Elasticsearch, the recommended way of indexing audit logs back into Elasticsearch for easy analysis was to use the <code>index</code> output type when configuring the audit log settings. This output type was deprecated in version 6.7.0. In the same version, we introduced the <code>audit</code> fileset of the <code>elasticsearch</code> module in <a href="https://www.elastic.co/products/filebeat">Filebeat</a>, which performs the same role as the <code>index</code> output type of the Elasticsearch audit log.
</p><p>In version 7.0.0 of Elasticsearch, we removed the <code>index</code> output of the Elasticsearch audit log completely. Configuring Filebeat is henceforth the only alternative for easy analysis of the audit log.
</p><h2>Why has the <code>index</code> output type been retired?</h2><p>Although using the <code>index</code> output type was convenient from a configuration standpoint, there are strong technical reasons why this option is not suitable in production environments and so it has been retired. The main drawback is that the audit event throughput is related to the node’s request load. Nodes with higher traffic generate more audit events. The indexing throughput, however, is limited by the destination cluster’s capacity. If the destination cluster can’t keep up with the volume, then we eventually need to drop some of the audit events or selectively drop client requests. Moreover, the queueing buffer for audit events was in-memory with no disk persistence, because disk persistence was assured by the other dedicated logging output type <code>logfile</code>. All this can lead to audit data loss in a multitude of complex failure scenarios.
</p><p>In short, this functionality was hard to maintain and provided little gains. Instead, by “outsourcing” the indexing task to Filebeat, Elasticsearch’s audit trail only has to focus on one task: storing events on the persistent storage and with no queueing. The audit capacity eats at a resource (disk I/O) that the administrators already have to plan for. Filebeat, being a separate process that runs alongside the Elasticsearch node, can take the indexing load off the Elasticsearch node's shoulders. And since Filebeat works off the audit log files generated by the Elasticsearch node, these files act as a natural queue. If the Elasticsearch cluster receiving the audit log documents for indexing is under load, Filebeat will wait until the load lessens and then continue indexing from the last entry it ingested from the audit log file.
</p><p>Finally, using Filebeat provides you with additional options that weren’t available with the old <code>index</code> output, such as event filter (see examples below) or sending events to Logstash for enrichment or to Kafka for queueing before further routing.
</p><h2>Using Filebeat to ingest Elasticsearch audit logs</h2><p>Let's see what steps are involved in using Filebeat to ingest Elasticsearch audit logs into an Elasticsearch cluster.
</p><p>On every node in your Elasticsearch cluster, do the following:
</p><ol>
	<li>Enable the audit log for that node by setting <code>xpack.security.audit.enabled: true</code> inside the <code>elasticsearch.yml</code> config file. See <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/7.0/auditing.html">Auditing Security Events</a> for more details.</li>
	<li>Start the Elasticsearch node.</li>
	<li><a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-installation.html">Install Filebeat</a> alongside the Elasticsearch node. This could mean installing Filebeat on the same host or VM as the Elasticsearch node or in a sidecar container.</li>
	<li>Filebeat ships with a variety of modules, each catering to a well-known source of log files. In this case, we want to use the Elasticsearch module, so <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-module-elasticsearch.html#running-elasticsearch-modules">enable it.</a></li>
	<li>Once the Elasticsearch Filebeat module is enabled, it will look in well-known paths for Elasticsearch log files and it will naturally follow them as they are rotated. If you want to customize these paths, edit the <code>elasticsearch.yml</code> file under the <code>modules.d</code> folder and make the necessary configuration changes. The <code>modules.d</code> folder is located in the same folder that contains <code>filebeat.yml</code>, which is the main Filebeat configuration file.</li>
	<li>To specify which Elasticsearch cluster you want to index your audit log events into, as well as other settings related to the Elasticsearch output (e.g., authentication settings), <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/elasticsearch-output.html">edit the <code>output.elasticsearch</code> section</a> in <code>filebeat.yml</code>.</li>
	<li>Finally, <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-module-elasticsearch.html#running-elasticsearch-modules">start Filebeat</a>. Your Elasticsearch audit logs will be indexed into <code>filebeat-*</code> indices (by default) on the Elasticsearch cluster you configured in the previous step.</li>
</ol><h2>Common considerations</h2><h3>Indexing a subset of audit log events</h3><p>By default every event that appears in the audit log file will be picked up by Filebeat and indexed into Elasticsearch. However, you may want to index only certain audit log events. This can be achieved by using Filebeat's <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/drop-event.html"><code>drop_event</code> processor</a> with the appropriate <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/defining-processors.html#conditions">conditions</a>.
</p><p>For instance, you may want to only index audit log events involving the <code>elastic</code> user. To achieve this, edit the <code>modules.d/elasticsearch.yml</code> file and under the <code>audit</code> fileset section, add the following:
</p><pre class="prettyprint">input:
  processors:
    - decode_json_fields:
        fields: [ "message" ]
        target: temp
    - drop_event:
        when:
          not:
            contains:
              temp.user.name: elastic
    - drop_fields:
        fields: [ "temp" ]
</pre><p>You can view the list of available <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/7.0/audit-event-types.html#audit-event-attributes">audit event fields</a> in the documentation.
</p><h3>Indexing audit log events in multiple Elasticsearch clusters</h3><p>A single Filebeat instance can only send events to a single Elasticsearch cluster. This means that if you would like to send your audit log events to multiple Elasticsearch clusters that you have a couple of options:
</p><ol>
	<li><strong>Run multiple Filebeat instances.</strong> Configure the <code>output.elasticsearch</code> section, particularly the <code>hosts</code> setting, of each instance to send to a different Elasticsearch cluster.<br><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt2c69bcf91c87d84e/5cd3b32126b60d975bc8bb1f/audit-logs-filebeat-1.png" data-sys-asset-uid="blt2c69bcf91c87d84e" alt="Run multiple Filebeat instances" style="display: block; margin: auto;"></li>
	<li><strong>Run a single Filebeat instance and send your audit logs to Logstash by configuring the <code>output.logstash</code> section in your <code>filebeat.yml</code>.</strong> Then configure your Logstash pipeline to with multiple <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/7.0/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html"><code>elasticsearch</code> outputs</a> to send to multiple Elasticsearch clusters.<br><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt150a8864c4e92de5/5cd3b338a2ceb62a594890f4/audit-logs-filebeat-2.png" data-sys-asset-uid="blt150a8864c4e92de5" alt="Run a single Filebeat instance and send your audit logs to Logstash" style="display: block; margin: auto;"></li>
	<li><strong>Run a single Filebeat instance and send your audit logs to one Elasticsearch cluster.</strong> Then use <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/current/xpack-ccr.html">cross-cluster replication</a> to replicate the audit logs index over to another Elasticsearch cluster.<br><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt3cc9f3bd5b4c4b9b/5cd3b35008e4032f59d1a656/audit-logs-filebeat-3.png" data-sys-asset-uid="blt3cc9f3bd5b4c4b9b" alt="Run a single Filebeat instance and send your audit logs to one Elasticsearch cluster" style="display: block; margin: auto;"></li>
</ol><h2>Analyzing audit logs in Elasticsearch</h2><p>Once your audit logs have been indexed into <code>filebeat-*</code> indices, you can start running queries against them and creating visualizations in Kibana.
</p><p>For instance, here's a sample query to count the different types of Elasticsearch transport-level actions that were performed every hour:
</p><pre class="prettyprint">POST filebeat-*/_search
{
  "size": 0, 
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "filter": {
        "term": {
          "event.dataset": "elasticsearch.audit"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "aggs": {
    "by_hour": {
      "date_histogram": {
        "field": "@timestamp",
        "interval": "1h"
      },
      "aggs": {
        "by_event_type": {
          "terms": {
            "field": "elasticsearch.audit.action"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
</pre><h2>But wait, there's more!</h2><p>Not only can Filebeat ingest Elasticsearch audit logs but it can also ingest other types of Elasticsearch logs —&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-module-elasticsearch.html#_literal_server_literal_log_fileset_settings">main server log</a>, <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-module-elasticsearch.html#_literal_gc_literal_log_fileset_settings">GC log</a>, <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-module-elasticsearch.html#_literal_slowlog_literal_log_fileset_settings">slow log</a> and <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/filebeat-module-elasticsearch.html#_literal_deprecation_literal_log_fileset_settings">deprecation log</a>.

This Week in Elasticsearch and Apache Lucene - Cluster Cloning in Hosted Elasticsearch

<p>One of the new features in Kibana 4.1 that we are <em>really</em>&nbsp;excited about is field formatters. Field formatters allow you to display your data in Kibana the way you prefer to <em>see</em>&nbsp;it, regardless of how it is actually <em>stored</em>&nbsp;in Elasticsearch. For instance, if you are storing date&nbsp;values in Elasticsearch and&nbsp;would like them to be displayed in&nbsp;mm/dd/yyyy format, you can easily&nbsp;do that now, courtesy of field formatters!
</p>
<p><span></span>Here's how you can start formatting your fields in Kibana :
</p>
<ol>
	<li>Go to the Settings tab.</li>
	<li><span></span>In the left column, click on the index pattern that contains the field you want to format.</li>
	<li><span></span>In the list of fields that shows up, find the field you want to format and click the pencil icon to its right.</li>
	<li><span></span>Choose the format for the field and fill out the form that shows up below.</li>
</ol>
<p>Watch the following short screencast as it walks through the steps listed above. In this example, a field with a raw number value representing bytes of some data is being formatted using the Bytes field formatter:<br>
</p>
<div class="video embed-container" style="height: 319.725px;">
	<img style="width: 100%; margin: auto; display: block;" class="vidyard-player-embed" src="https://play.vidyard.com/BAY6XEY7hu5uHGnwb9VLUB.jpg" data-uuid="BAY6XEY7hu5uHGnwb9VLUB" data-v="4" data-type="inline">
</div>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>But field formatters can be used for more than formatting bytes values. You can create links, insert images (see screenshot below), and much more.<br><br>Here is an example of using&nbsp;http status cats to represent the HTTP status codes from the log files:<br>
</p>
<p><a href="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4c8243e9adc538713933/download?uid=bltb735fbc36c76a187?uid=bltb735fbc36c76a187" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4c8243e9adc538713933/download?uid=bltb735fbc36c76a187?uid=bltb735fbc36c76a187" data-sys-asset-uid="blte6dd3c3f9e91b05a" alt="" style="width: 707px; height: 275px;"></a>
</p>
<p>And here's what it ends up looking like:<br>
</p>
<p><a href="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4c839985d58976376889/download?uid=blt7dcd8dbe3aff8868?uid=blt7dcd8dbe3aff8868" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4c839985d58976376889/download?uid=blt7dcd8dbe3aff8868?uid=blt7dcd8dbe3aff8868" data-sys-asset-uid="bltf6f22967e17a5f50" alt="" style="width: 707px; height: 536.231833910035px;"></a>
</p>
<p>Go ahead.&nbsp;Give it a whirl.

Field Formatters in Kibana 4.1

<html><head></head><body><p><img src="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4c740342dfd738262c95/download?uid=blt717ba7f6313c4218?uid=blt717ba7f6313c4218" data-sys-asset-uid="blt6704c5b4843bee8c" style="float:right; margin:4px 5px;"><em>UPDATE September 21, 2015: This blog post was updated to reflect the new settings in elasticsearch.yml. These settings were supported starting with Elasticsearch 1.5 and the old settings were deprecated at that time. Starting with Elasticsearch 2.0, only the new settings will be supported.</em></p><p>In cloud environments like Azure, multicast is often (always?) forbidden. So you need to provide a list of nodes to help Elasticsearch to discover the nodes of the cluster. Starting new instances could be then tricky as you have to maintain a minimal list of nodes.
</p><p>And what happens when a virtual machine goes down? When it comes back up, it could have a new IP address. So you need to edit unicast settings for each node, right?
</p><p>We are pleased to announce the first release of <a href="https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-azure/">Azure cloud plugin for elasticsearch</a>. This first release uses the Azure API for the unicast discovery mechanism and simplifies your cluster growth management a lot.
</p><h1>Azure Virtual Machine Discovery</h1><p>Azure plugin uses <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460799.aspx">Azure REST API</a> to perform automatic discovery, which is similar to multicast discovery in multicast-friendly environments. You just have to:
</p><ul>
	<li>Create Azure instances (VMs)</li>
	<li>Install Elasticsearch</li>
	<li>Install Azure cloud plugin</li>
	<li>Modify <code>elasticsearch.yml</code> file and define Azure cloud settings (Azure API key, subscription ID and service name)</li>
	<li>Start Elasticsearch</li>
</ul><p>And&#x2026; You&apos;re done!
</p><h1>Want More Details?</h1><p>Suppose that you want to build an Ubuntu 13 virtual machine running Elasticsearch.  Let&apos;s say that you already have an <a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/">Azure account</a> with your <a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/linux/how-to-guides/ssh-into-linux/">ssh keys</a> already defined and uploaded to Azure, that you have installed <a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/how-to-guides/command-line-tools/">Windows Azure Command-Line Tool</a>, that you have a <a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/blob-storage/#create-account">storage account</a> ready to use.

</p><p>We plan to add a blog post on how to use it with Microsoft Windows virtual machines.
</p><p>Also, Elasticsearch 1.0 comes with the great <a href="/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/modules-snapshots.html">Snapshot and Restore</a> feature.
