Python logging to ElasticSearch via Logstash

Current ELK-Stack Version: 7.17.5

Setup for python logger

• Copy app_logger and utils modules to your python project folder
• cd pythonModules
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• Set the ip and port of your logstash instance in logger.py. (Setup for port 5000, and whichever is the IP of the machine that will host ELK)
• See main.py for an example usage.

Setup for Elastic Stack

• System Requirements (For Ubuntu 20.04 in VirtualBox, I utilized 6GB RAM and 2 CPU Cores)

• DO NOT USE initialize_docker_workspace.sh IF YOU DON'T WANT ALL YOUR DOCKER-STUFF TO BE DELETED !

• If you only experiment with this repo, run sh initialize_docker_workspace.sh to 'default' docker.

• docker-compose up --build -d

• Let it cook for ~4 minutes in 180C, and it's ready.

• Access your Kibana instance from 'YOUR-VM-IP:5601' (YOUR-VM-IP is also the ip address that needs to be set in logger.py)

• It is set up to login without credentials, and without X-Pack.
