7. To Re-deploy pod to take configmap, Go to Rancher Console > Cluster -> Default -> Resources -> Workloads Click fluent-bit Click Redeploy

7. Install Issuer

1. create letsencrypt-prod-graylog.yaml

vi letsencrypt-prod-graylog.yaml

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1alpha2
kind: Issuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt-prod
  namespace: graylog
spec:
  acme:
    # The ACME server URL
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    # Email address used for ACME registration
    email: kubernetio@gmail.com
    # Name of a secret used to store the ACME account private key
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: letsencrypt-prod
    # Enable the HTTP-01 challenge provider
    solvers:
    - http01:
       ingress:
         class: nginx

kubectl apply -f letsencrypt-prod-graylog.yaml

2. To check Issuer status

kubectl get issuer -n graylog

8. DNS Records ADD

1. To get ingress External IP

kubectl get svc -n nginx-ingress

2. Add A record on DNS controller

Ex:
graylog.kubelancer.net A 35.184.146.232

9. Create Ingress for graylog

1. create graylog-ingress.yaml

vi graylog-ingress.yaml

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: graylog-ingress-tls
  namespace: graylog
  annotations:
    fluentbit.io/parser: "k8s-nginx-ingress"
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
    cert-manager.io/issuer: letsencrypt-prod
spec:
  tls:
  - secretName: graylog-ingress-tls
    hosts:
    - graylog.kubelancer.net
  rules:
  - host: graylog.kubelancer.net
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        backend:
          serviceName: graylog-web
          servicePort: 9000

2. Create ingress for Graylog

kubectl apply -f graylog-ingress.yaml

3. To check certs status

kubectl get certs -n graylog

10. Access graylog web ui

https://graylog.kubelancer.net

Credentials: user: admin password:

To get password, run below command

kubectl get secret/graylog -n graylog -o yaml | grep graylog-password-secret: | awk {'print $2'} | base64 -d ; echo

11. Configure Graylog input

1. Goto graylog Console -> system/inputs -> inputs
2. Select GELF TCP -> Launch new input
3. Select Global
4. Title GELF TCP
5. Click Save

12. Deploy sample application (nginx web server)

1. create deployment file nginx.yaml

vi nginx.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  namespace: graylog
  creationTimestamp: null
  labels:
    app: nginx
  name: nginx
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 80
  selector:
    app: nginx
status:
  loadBalancer: {}
---
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  namespace: graylog
  creationTimestamp: null
  labels:
    app: nginx
  name: nginx
  annotations:
    fluentbit.io/parser: nginx
spec:
  containers:
  - image: nginx
    name: nginx
    ports:
    - containerPort: 80
    resources: {}
  dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
  restartPolicy: Never
status: {}

2. Apply the deployment

kubectl apply -f nginx.yaml

3. Create DNS record. web1.kubelancer.net A 35.225.208.53

4. create ingress for web application

vi  web1-ingress.yaml

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: web1-ingress-tls
  namespace: graylog
  annotations:
    fluentbit.io/parser: "k8s-nginx-ingress"
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
    cert-manager.io/issuer: letsencrypt-prod
spec:
  tls:
  - secretName: web1-ingress-tls
    hosts:
    - web1.kubelancer.net
  rules:
  - host: web1.kubelancer.net
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        backend:
          serviceName: nginx
          servicePort: 80

5. Apply the web Ingress

kubectl apply -f web1-ingress.yaml

13. Validate graylog messages/metrics

1. Goto graylog Console -> Search

Now Messages will stream
