Configuring Data Collection Connection from BI.ZONE EDR

Legend:

${LS_HOME} - Logstash home directory, typically /app/logstash

General Description​

Configuration for collecting data from the BI.ZONE EDR server is performed by setting up Smart Monitor Data Collector configurations.

Generating BI.ZONE EDR API Token​

  1. Log in to the BI.ZONE EDR web interface BI.ZONE EDR web interface

  2. Go to the My Profile - API Tokens section My Profile interface

  3. Create an API token and copy it for further use API Token interface

Please note!

After creation, the API token will not be visible for viewing. Save it during the module installation.

Adding Variables to the Keystore​

To implement data collection, variables with identification and authentication data for BI.ZONE EDR must be added to the Smart Monitor Data Collector keystore.

Execute the following commands sequentially:

sudo -u logstash ${LS_HOME}/bin/logstash-keystore add bizone_token
sudo -u logstash ${LS_HOME}/bin/logstash-keystore add bizone_user
sudo -u logstash ${LS_HOME}/bin/logstash-keystore add bizone_password

Installing Smart Monitor Data Collector Configurations​

Configuration files (pipelines) are supplied with the module and require additional editing in accordance with the addressing of your Smart Monitor and BI.ZONE EDR installations.

In the .conf configuration files, edit the following parameters:

  • "BIZONE_HOST" in the input section - replace with the actual address of the BI.ZONE EDR server
  • "HOST_OS_DATA" in the output section - replace with the actual address of the Smart Monitor Data Storage node
  • "KAFKA_SERVERS" in the input section - replace with the actual address of the BI.ZONE EDR Kafka server

In configuration files using Kafka as a data source, topic names are specified. Change them if your BI.ZONE EDR installation uses topics with different names for writing.

To install the configuration files, perform the following actions:

  1. Go to the Smart Monitor Data Collector host
  2. Place the .conf pipeline files and the bizone folder containing scripts in the ${LS_HOME}/config/conf.d directory
  3. Add the pipelines to the pipelines.yml file. More details can be found in the corresponding section in the Typical Pipeline Creation Guide
  4. Restart the Smart Monitor Data Collector node using the following command:
systemctl restart logstash
