SNS to GELF Client

This program will run as a simple HTTP server allowing SNS to push messages into Graylog via the standardised GELF format

To install / run locally:

npm install

To run on beanstalk:

Zip up package.json and any required files
Upload ZIP to beanstalk and it will be deployed!
Be sure to set configuration options as environment variables in beanstalk, you will need to run direct as a service and not proxy-pass via Nginx.

To use:

Setup SNS to point to the HTTP URL of your service, the service will auto-confirm any new SNS registration topics!

Configuration options (passed as environment variables):

// Configuration Options / Environment Variables:
//
//      HTTP_LISTEN_PORT    (Integer, port to run webserver on, defaults to 9000)
//      CONSOLE_DEBUG       (String, true/false - provides verbose debugging)
//      GELF_SERVER         (String, provide hostname or IP)
//      GELF_SERVER_PORT    (Integer, defaults to: 12201)
//      GELF_CHUNK_SIZE     (Integer, defaults to: 1420)
//      GELF_TRANSPORT_TYPE (String, either 'wan' or 'lan', defaults to 'wan')

Installing as a service (not required if running via Beanstalk):

mkdir -p /opt && cd /opt
git clone https://git.itoc.com.au/itoc_internal/sns-to-gelf-graylog-client.git

cd sns-to-gelf-graylog-client && npm install

cp additional/itoc-sns-gelf-client.initd /etc/init.d/itoc-sns-gelf-client
chmod +x /etc/init.d/itoc-sns-gelf-client
chkconfig --add itoc-sns-gelf-client

npm install forever -g
mkdir -p /var/run/forever && chmod 777 /var/run/forever

Be sure to set any changes to your environment in set_env.sh located in the 'additional' directory.

Useful information:

Will parse any JSON objects received in the SNS messages as Graylog fields.
- When parsing JSON object, if the object contains: 'Event_Message' this will be defaulted as the 'message' field in Graylog... If you want to set a custom message you need to include 'Event_Message' in your JSON object.
Currently does not support proxy passing via server such as Nginx.
