Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place.

Description

Unit tests Build Status
Integration tests Build Status

This Chef cookbook installs and configures the Graylog log management system.

It is using the official installation packages provided by Graylog, Inc.. It needs as requirement an installation of Java, Elasticsearch and MongoDB.

Usage

Quickstart

To give this cookbook a try simply use the Kitchen test suite.

kitchen setup oracle-ubuntu-1404
open http://localhost:9000
Login with admin/admin

Recipes

The cookbook contains several recipes for different installation setups. Pick only the recipes
you need for your environment.

Recipe Description
default Setup the Graylog package repository
server Install Graylog server
authbind Give the Graylog user access to privileged ports like 514 (only on Ubuntu/Debian)
collector_sidecar Install Graylog's collector sidecar

In a minimal setup you need at least the default and server recipes. Combined with
MongoDB and Elasticsearch, a run list might look like this:

run_list "recipe[java]",
         "recipe[elasticsearch]",
         "recipe[mongodb]",
         "recipe[graylog2]",
         "recipe[graylog2::server]"

Keep in mind that Graylog needs Elasticsearch 2.x, what can be installed with the Elasticsearch cookbook version < 3.0.0

Attributes

Graylog runs currently with Java 8. To install the correct version set this attribute:

Oracle

  "java": {
    "jdk_version": "8",
    "install_flavor": "oracle",
    "oracle": {
      "accept_oracle_download_terms": true
    }
  }

OpenJDK

  "java": {
    "jdk_version": "8",
    "install_flavor": "openjdk"
  }

OpenJDK and Oracle JDK are both fine for Graylog. Note that you must accept
Oracle's download terms if you select the oracle install flavor.

On some platforms you need to accept terms to install OpenJDK too. See the java
cookbook's README
for more
information.

You have to use a certain version of Elasticsearch for every Graylog Version, currently
this is 2.2.0. The cluster name should be 'graylog':

  "elasticsearch": {
    "version": "2.2.0",
    "cluster": {
      "name": "graylog"
    }
  }

Graylog itself needs a secret for encryption and a hashed password for the root user. By default this user is called admin.

You can create the secret with this shell command pwgen -s 96 1.

The password can be generated with echo -n yourpassword | shasum -a 256 | awk '{print $1}'

  "graylog2": {
    "password_secret": "ZxUahiN48EFVJgzRTzGO2olFRmjmsvzybSf4YwBvn5x1asLUBPe8GHbOQTZ0jzuAB7dzrNPk3wCEH57PCZm23MHAET0G653G",
    "root_password_sha2": "e3c652f0ba0b4801205814f8b6bc49672c4c74e25b497770bb89b22cdeb4e951",
    "server": {
      "java_opts": "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
    }
  }

Alternatively you can create an encrypted data bag and store the secrets there. The data should be called
'secrets' with an item 'graylog'.

knife data bag create --secret-file ~/.chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret secrets graylog

{
  "id": "graylog",
  "server": {
    "root_password_sha2": "<root password as sha256>",
    "password_secret": "<random string as encryption salt>"
  }
}

You can take a look into the attributes file under attributes/default.rb to get an idea
what can be configured for Graylog.

Remote Elasticsearch hosts

In order to connect Graylog to a remote Elasticsearch node you have to make it listen on the public network interface:
ruby
'graylog2'=> {
'elasticsearch' => {
'network_host'=> '0.0.0.0'
}
}

Node discovery

The cookbook is able to use Chef's search to find Elasticsearch and other Graylog nodes. To configure
a dynamic cluster set the following attributes:

Elasticsearch discovery

'graylog2'=> {
  'elasticsearch' => {
    'unicast_search_query' => 'role:elasticsearch',
    'search_node_attribute' => 'ipaddress'
  }
}

If you have multiple server one need to be set as a master, use this attribute to do so

default.graylog2[:ip_of_master] = node.ipaddress

Authbind

Ubuntu/Debian systems allow a user to bind a proccess to a certain privileged port below 1024.
This is called authbind and is supported by this cookbook. So it is possible to let Graylog listen on port 514 and act like a normal syslog server.
To enable this feature include the authbind cookbook to your run list and also the recipe
recipe[graylog2::authbind] from this cookbook.
By default the recipe will give the Graylog user permission to bind to port 514 if you need more than that you can
set the attribute default.graylog2[:authorized_ports] to an array of allowed ports.

Development and testing

The cookbook comes with unit and integration tests for Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS. You can run them by using Rake and Test Kitchen.

Unit tests:

  $ bundle exec rake spec

Integration tests:

  $ kitchen list
  $ kitchen converge oracle-ubuntu-1404
  $ kitchen verify oracle-ubuntu-1404

Additionally you can verify the coding style by running RoboCop and Foodcritic.

Verify Ruby syntax with RuboCop:

  $ bundle exec rake style:ruby

Verify Chef syntax with Foodcritic:

  $ bundle exec rake style:chef
