![]() ![]() Sudo firewall-cmd -add-port=2055/udp -permanent Third, make sure the port is open on the firewall. Sudo vi /etc/filebeat/modules.d/netflow.ymlĪlso check to make sure there are no comments where they shouldn’t be. This will allow Filebeat to listen on all interfaces on port 2055, if you have multiple interfaces and want to specify the IP address to listen on that is fine as well. Now open up your newly enabled file and change “netflow_host” from “localhost” to “0.0.0.0”. Sudo mv /etc/filebeat/modules.d/ /etc/filebeat/modules.d/netflow.yml You can do so by using the “mv” command like so Secondly, you’ll want to rename the file “/etc/filebeat/modules.d/” and remove the “disabled” at the end of the file. While still in the filebeat.yml file go down to the “Outputs” section and ensure “output.elasticsearch” and “hosts” are uncommented, and hosts is set to your Elasticsearch instance. You can also uncomment “reload” options, that will make it easier to change the configs and not have to restart Filebeat. Check to make sure the parent and “path” variable are uncommented (In YML configs ,like Filebeat’s, comments are “#”). It’s located in the “/etc/filebeat” directory using your favorite text editor.įilebeat has a prebuilt module for Netflow, but first we have to ensure that Filebeat’s modules are enabled! To check this go to the section called “Filebeat modules”, in my config it starts on line 66. Once Filebeat is installed configuration is about as easy as softflowd.įirst, edit the filebeat.yml file. You can also download from the Filebeat download page, but it will not be as easy to update. If you’ve enabled the Elastic repos all you have to do is run This is a lot easier if you’ve added Elasticsearch repos to your servers like I have recommended in the past. To do so enterĪnd you’re done! On to Filebeat! Filebeat Install and Config Third, you must start softflow and set it to start on reboot. Feel free to play with the other settings as well. Second, edit the line with “option host_port” to the IP of the Filebeat collector and port number (2055 is default for Netflow).Īlso if “option enabled” is set to 0 set it to 1. Then open up the file “/etc/config/softflowd” in your favorite text editor (that’s on OpenWRT anyway). But it’s easy enough.įirst connect to OpenWRT in a shell if you haven’t already. Unfortunately softflowd does not have a luci panel, so all configuration must be done through the shell. To update the list of available packages. Hit install and you’re done! ShellĬonnect to your OpenWRT device whichever way you like. If everything has worked correctly you should see softflowd in the results. Usually I have to hit “Update lists” to see the available packages, after that enter “softflowd” in the “Filter:” text field. To install softflowd on OpenWRT you can use the GUI, or the shell. Source: Logstash module Installing Softflowd on OpenWRT I know it’s a little strange to send your network stuff to Filebeat instead of Logstash or Packetbeat, but that’s how Elastic wants it. So if you’re looking to export Netflow logs from OpenWRT to Elasticsearch, read on.įor this guide I’ll be using softflowd as the netflow exporter on OpenWRT and Filebeat as the log ingester. I have been meaning to add this log source into my home network for some time, and finally got the motivation after some recent network issues. If you aren’t logging Netflow yet, you are missing out on the best “bang for your buck” logging metrics around. ![]()
