How to set up Loggly on Elastic Beanstalk? - amazon-web-services

I'd like to set up Loggly to run on AWS Elastic Beanstalk, but can't find any information on how to do this. Is there any guide anywhere, or some general guidance on how to start?

This is how I do it, for papertrailapp.com (which I prefer instead of loggly). In your /ebextensions folder (see more info) you create logs.config, where specify:
container_commands:
01-set-correct-hostname:
command: hostname www.example.com
02-forward-rsyslog-to-papertrail:
# https://papertrailapp.com/systems/setup
command: echo "*.* #logs.papertrailapp.com:55555" >> /etc/rsyslog.conf
03-enable-remote-logging:
command: echo -e "\$ModLoad imudp\n\$UDPServerRun 514\n\$ModLoad imtcp\n\$InputTCPServerRun 514\n\$EscapeControlCharactersOnReceive off" >> /etc/rsyslog.conf
04-restart-syslog:
command: service rsyslog restart
55555 should be replaced with the UDP port number provided by papertrailapp.com. Every time after new instance bootstrap this config will be applied. Then, in your log4j.properties:
log4j.rootLogger=WARN, SYSLOG
log4j.appender.SYSLOG=org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender
log4j.appender.SYSLOG.facility=local1
log4j.appender.SYSLOG.header=true
log4j.appender.SYSLOG.syslogHost=localhost
log4j.appender.SYSLOG.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.SYSLOG.layout.ConversionPattern=[%p] %t %c: %m%n
I'm not sure whether it's an optimal solution. Read more about this mechanism in jcabi-beanstalk-maven-plugin

You can also use the installation script from loggly itself.
The setup below follows the instructions for the legacy setup on https://www.loggly.com/docs/configure-syslog-script/ with minor changes (no confirmation prompts, sudo command replaced since no tty is available)
(edit: updated link, seems to be an outdated solution now in loggly docs)
Place the following script in .ebextensions/loggly.config
Replace TOKEN and ACCOUNT with your own.
#
# Install loggly.com on AWS Elastic Beanstalk
# Tested with node.js environment
# Save this file as .ebextensions/loggly.config
# Deploy per normal scripts or aws.push. To help debug the push, ssh & tail /var/log/cfn-init.log
# See Also /var/log/eb-tools.log
#
commands:
01_loggly_dl:
command: wget -q -O /tmp/loggly.py https://www.loggly.com/install/configure-syslog.py
02_loggly_config:
command: su --session-command="python /tmp/loggly.py setup --auth TOKEN --account ACCOUNT --yes"

Here is a link to loggly support site for using syslogd with loggly:
http://wiki.loggly.com/loggingconfiguration
or using the loggly api with your own app:
http://wiki.loggly.com/apidocumention

Here is an elasticbeanstalk config for Loggly that I've just started using thanks to pointers from this thread and the logging SaaS vendors setup instructions. [Loggly Config Mgmt, Papertrail rsyslog ]
Save the file as loggly.config in the .ebextensions directory and make sure to check the YAML formatting conventions (no tabs, etc). Substitute your Loggly TCP port number, username, password and domain name into the angle brackets as required.
Note that for AWS ruby versions of elasticbeanstalk, there may be differences in the EC2 /etc/rsyslog setup. For example, if /etc/rsyslog.d already exists, and there is already an "$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf" directive, then command "01-forward-rsyslog-to-loggly:" can be removed.
Deploy per normal scripts or aws.push. To help debug the push, ssh & tail /var/log/cfn-init.log

Typically, /etc/rsyslog.config will have a "$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf" at the end - so you can simply introduce your own configuration file using the "files:" portion of your .ebextensions file. This works whether you are deploying to fresh servers or not.
For a ruby production.log, you might have something like this in a .ebextensions/01loggly.config file. Note this picks up your beanstalk environment name too as a loggly tag.

This config is working for me - though I haven't yet determined how to get multi-line entries coming into a single entry in Loggly yet.

I know this is question is fairly old but I found that the answers really didnt answer the question or just plain didnt work correctly when implemented. I found that this works (file .ebextenstions/02loggly.config):
container_commands:
01-transform-rsyslog.conf:
command: sed "s/NODE_ENV/$NODE_ENV/g" scripts/22-loggly.conf.temp > scripts/22-loggly.conf
02-setup-rsyslog.conf:
command: cp scripts/22-loggly.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/22-loggly.conf
03-restart:
command: /sbin/service rsyslog restart
the "01-transform-rsyslog.conf" step is optional; I use that to set a tag by NODE_ENV in the file. "22-loggly.conf.temp" is a modified version of the "22-loggly.conf" file that gets created at "/etc/rsyslog.d/" when you run the linux source setup script (https://www.loggly.com/install/configure-syslog.py). I just installed it on a ec2 instance and copied the file.
Note I had to prepend '/sbin' to my service command because it was failing for me without it. Also, this restarts syslog on every deploy, which should be fine.
Now you just have to make sure your app logs to syslog. For Java it is going to be log4j or similar. For Node.js (which is what I'm using), rconsole works (https://github.com/tblobaum/rconsole).

None of the things I tried seemed to work, and the loggly documentation is very confusing!
I hope that this will help someone, this is how I got it to work.
Paste the following in .ebextensions/loggly.config
files:
"/etc/rsyslog.conf" :
mode: "000644"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
$ModLoad imfile

#Add a tag for events from this file
$template LogglyFormatsocial_php,"<%pri%>%protocol-version% %timestamp:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %app-name% %procid% %msgid% [TOKEN#41058 tag=\"php_log\"] %msg%\n"
if $programname == 'social_php' then ##logs.loggly.com:37146;LogglyFormatsocial_php
if $programname == 'social_php' then ~
*.* ##logs.loggly.com:37146
commands:
01-restart-syslog:
command: service rsyslog restart
Replace all instances of social_php with the tag that makes sense for your application.
Replace /var/app/current/PATH_TO_YOUR_LOG_FILE with your log file location

Heyo, I ran into this issue when setting up with the argo helm chart on kind. The problem is that you have to disable tls verification for the executor (the thing that executes the workflow) using the ARGO_KUBELET_INSECURE env var. Here are the docs https://argoproj.github.io/argo-workflows/environment-variables/#executor
Sorry I don't have the exact code change you need for your setup, but I'm sure you can figure that out now that you know what the problem is ;).
Here's what my helm values.yaml file looks like in case that helps anyone else:
server:
serviceType: LoadBalancer
extraArgs:
- --auth-mode=server
controller:
containerRuntimeExecutor: k8sapi
executor:
env:

AWS cloud-config not setting dns-nameservers

Here is the cloud.cfg on my instance (I had tampered it manually when provisioning the ami from which I launched the instance)

# Network configuration for ami
manage_resolv_conf: true

However this is never taken into account given that:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 10.17.0.2
search eu-west-1.compute.internal
I have tried with and without creating the following file
# cat /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg
network: {config: disabled}
I managed to make my instance obtain my custom dns-nameserver as follows
- name: pre_tasks --> Add my custom dns-nameserver
lineinfile:
path: /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
regexp: '^#prepend domain-name-servers'
line: 'prepend domain-name-servers 10.11.4.1;'

not accepting my answer until / unless I address this;
edit_1: adding this to my cloud-config.yml which I am setting as user data did not help much:

Environment Variables in newest AWS EC2 instance

I am trying to get ENVIRONMENT Variables into the EC2 instance (trying to run a django app on Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03.0 (HVM), SSD Volume Type ami-0ff8a91507f77f867 ). How do you get them in the newest version of amazon's linux, or get the logging so it can be traced.

Notes -
What i think i know but am unsure
the user-data script is only loaded when it is created, not when I stop and then start mentioned here (although it also says [i think outdated] that the output is logged to /var/log/cloud-init-output.log )
I may not be starting the instance correctly
I don't know where to store the bash script so that it can be executed
What I have verified
the user-data text is on the instance by ssh-ing in and curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data shows the current text (#!/bin/bash …)
What Ive tried
editing rc.local directly to export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='JEFEJEFEJEFEJEFE' … and the like
putting them in the AWS Parameter Store (and can see them via the correct call, I just can't trace getting them into the EC2 instance without logs or confirming if the user-data is getting run)
putting ENV variables in Tags and importing them as mentioned here:
tried outputting the logs to other files as suggested here (Not seeing any log files in the ssh instance or on the system log)
viewing the System Log on the aws webpage to see any errors/logs via selecting the instance -> 'Actions' -> 'Instance Settings' -> 'Get System Log' (not seeing any commands run or log statements [only 1 unrelated word of user])

How to configure OpenSMTPD with Amazon SES?

Amazon has instructions for postfix and sendmail, but not OpenSMTPD, so adding them here.
Tested with OpenBSD 5.8
Verify your domain and a sender in AWS SES console. Save your SMTP Settings.
Set up the SMTP authentication details in the mail secrets database (replacing $smtpUsername:$smtpPassword with the values from step 1)
# touch /etc/mail/secrets
# chmod 640 /etc/mail/secrets
# chown root:_smtpd /etc/mail/secrets
# echo "ses $smtpUsername:$smtpPassword" >> /etc/mail/secrets
# makemap /etc/mail/secrets
Configure OpenSMTPD:
# nano /etc/mail/smtpd.conf
listen on lo0
table aliases db:/etc/mail/aliases.db
table secrets db:/etc/mail/secrets.db
accept for local alias <aliases> deliver to mbox
accept from local for any relay via tls+auth://ses#email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com auth <secrets>
Restart OpenSMTPD:
# rcctl restart smtpd
Test it:
# sendmail -v -f verified-sender#verified-domain.com to#example.com
Subject: test subject
test body
^D
Errors?
watch your line-breaks in smtpd.conf
# smtpd -n to check for syntax errors in smtpd.conf
Try port 587 if your machine is blocking port 25 (add :587 to end of aws url in smtpd.conf)

Replace username/password authentication with keypair on an existing Linux AMI

I have a ami which need username/password for login via ssh. I want to create new amis from this, in which I can login from any newly created keypairs.
Any suggestions?
I'm not sure what AMI allows username/password login, but when you create an instance from an AMI, you need to specify a key pair.
That key will be ADDED to the authorized_keys for the default user (ec2-user for Amazon Linux, ubuntu for the Ubuntu AMI, etc).
Why you don't just add the users/password to the instance and then build your AMI from there? Then you can change your /etc/ssh/sshd_config and permit username passwords with this: PasswordAuthentication yes. Btw, Username/Password authentication is not recommended for servers in the cloud because of man in the middle attacks. (use it at your own risk)
Not sure if I understand the question fully, but if you want to change the behavior of the instance when it boots up I suggest you look at fuzzing with cloud-init. The configuration in the instance is under /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg. For example on on Ubuntu the default says something like this:
user: ubuntu
disable_root: 1
preserve_hostname: False
...
If you want to change the default user you can change it there
user: <myuser>
disable_root: 1
preserve_hostname: False
...
The simplest way is to do this is by adding the following snippet in to the /etc/rc.local or its equivalent.
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
if [ ! -d /root/.ssh ] ; then
mkdir -p /root/.ssh
chmod 0700 /root/.ssh
fi
# Fetch public key using HTTP
curl -f http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-keys/0/openssh-key > /tmp/aws-key 2>/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
cat /tmp/aws-key >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 0600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
fi
rm -f /tmp/aws-key
# or fetch public key using the file in the ephemeral store:
if [ -e /mnt/openssh_id.pub ] ; then
cat /mnt/openssh_id.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 0600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
fi
