Elastic Log Shipper

Lambda function to ship logs from various AWS sources into a elastic search instance of your choosing.

Usage

This package exposes a Lambda Function that can be used in a CDK stack that can be used to configure logs to be automatically shipped into an elastic search of your choosing

./src/config.mjs

export const Config = {
  name: 'default',
  accounts: [{
    id: '1234567890',
    elastic: '/es-shipper-config/elastic-default',
    name: 'linz',
    tags: ['hello'],
    prefix: 'account-prefix',
    logGroups: [{
      filter: '**',
      prefix: 'lg-prefix',
    }]
  }],
}

./src/index.mjs

import {Config} from './config.js'
import {logHandler, LogShipper} from '@linzjs/cdk-elastic-shipper';
LogShipper.configure(Config)

export const handler = logHandler;

export class YourStack extends cdk.Stack {

  public constructor(scope: cdk.Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
    const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, 'Vpc');

    const cfg = validateConfig(Config)
    // Validate all the connection references are valid
    const allParameters: ssm.IStringParameter[] = [];
    for (const elasticId of elasticIds) {
      allParameters.push(ssm.StringParameter.fromStringParameterName(this, 'ElasticConfig' + elasticId, elasticId));
    }

    this.lambda = new NodejsFunction(this, 'Shipper', {
        runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_16_X,
        memorySize: 256,
        timeout: Duration.seconds(30),
        handler: 'handler',
        entry: './src/index.mjs',
        environment: {
          // Deploy with a known hash and version
          [Env.GitHash]: execFileSync('git', ['rev-parse', 'HEAD']).toString().trim(),
          [Env.GitVersion]: execFileSync('git', ['describe', '--tags', '--always', '--match', 'v*']).toString().trim(),
        },
        logRetention: RetentionDays.ONE_MONTH,
    });

    for (const param of allParameters) param.grantRead(this.lambda);


    /** Register a listener on a bucket, so when files are added they are to submitted to the log shipper */
    const logBucket = new Bucket.fromName(this, 'LogBucket');
    bucket.addEventNotification(s3.EventType.OBJECT_CREATED, new LambdaDestination(this.lambda));
    bucket.grantRead(this.lambda);
  }
}

The elastic connection strings need to be stored inside of SSM before running the deployment, there are three options for elasticsearch connections

1. AWS

{ url: 'https://node-name.eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com' }

2. ElasticCloud

{
  id: 'cloud:abc123',
  username: 'foo',
  password: 'bar'
}

3. Http

{
  url: 'https://fake.com'
  username: 'foo'
  password: 'bar'
}
