Failed loading the Index Template in Elasticsearch


I am trying to install ELK for logs centralization. I am following steps described in digital ocean website: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04

I fail to download the filebeat index template using curl from this link: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/thisismitch/3429023e8438cc25b86c/raw/d8c479e2a1adcea8b1fe86570e42abab0f10f364/filebeat-index-template.json

Can someone give me another source to get it ?


Solution

  • Here is the content of that link:

    {
      "mappings": {
        "_default_": {
          "_all": {
            "enabled": true,
            "norms": {
              "enabled": false
            }
          },
          "dynamic_templates": [
            {
              "template1": {
                "mapping": {
                  "doc_values": true,
                  "ignore_above": 1024,
                  "index": "not_analyzed",
                  "type": "{dynamic_type}"
                },
                "match": "*"
              }
            }
          ],
          "properties": {
            "@timestamp": {
              "type": "date"
            },
            "message": {
              "type": "string",
              "index": "analyzed"
            },
            "offset": {
              "type": "long",
              "doc_values": "true"
            },
            "geoip"  : {
              "type" : "object",
              "dynamic": true,
              "properties" : {
                "location" : { "type" : "geo_point" }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      },
      "settings": {
        "index.refresh_interval": "5s"
      },
      "template": "filebeat-*"
    }
    

    Just make a file called filebeat-index-template.json with this command:

    touch filebeat-index-template.json
    

    Then open the file in an editor like this:

    nano filebeat-index-template.json
    

    Then copy and paste the contents from the link above and save the file (ctrl + x).

    After that you should be able to continue through the digital ocean walkthrough at the "load the template" part.
