This is containerised way to do monitoring of web application using ELK. This does monitoring of web application using ELK, all running in containers.
Build containers for elk and web application using command docker-compose up . Images being used are : sebp\elk and nginx-filebeat
This will bring ELK listening at ports: 5601, 9200, 5044 and Nginx at 8080
Logs being monitored by ELK on Nginx are :
/var/log/niginx/*.log
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/auth.log
You might see follwing error while bringin ELK up:
max virtual memory areas has low memory
This can be fixed by, if using ubuntu:
sudo sysctl -w vm/max_map_count=262144
Tools I would use for conatiner deployment :
- Terraform ( To automate Infrastructure creation )
- AWS ECS ( Container management srevice by AWS )
- Jenkins ( Test image and deploy on ECS )
- Docker Hub / AWS ECR ( As container Registery )
