CoreDNS moduleedit
This is a filebeat module for CoreDNS. It supports both standalone CoreDNS deployment and CoreDNS deployment in Kubernetes.
Read the quick start to learn how to configure and run modules.
Compatibilityedit
Although this module has been developed against Kubernetes v1.13.x, it is expected to work with other versions of Kubernetes.
Configure the moduleedit
You can further refine the behavior of the coredns
module by specifying
variable settings in the
modules.d/coredns.yml
file, or overriding settings at the command line.
You must enable at least one fileset in the module. Filesets are disabled by default.
Variable settingsedit
Each fileset has separate variable settings for configuring the behavior of the
module. If you don’t specify variable settings, the coredns
module uses
the defaults.
For advanced use cases, you can also override input settings. See Override input settings.
When you specify a setting at the command line, remember to prefix the
setting with the module name, for example, coredns.log.var.paths
instead of log.var.paths
.
log
fileset settingsedit
Example config:
- module: coredns log: enabled: true var.paths: ["/var/log/coredns.log"] var.tags: ["coredns", "staging"]
-
var.paths
-
An array of glob-based paths that specify where to look for the log files. All
patterns supported by Go Glob
are also supported here. For example, you can use wildcards to fetch all files
from a predefined level of subdirectories:
/path/to/log/*/*.log
. This fetches all.log
files from the subfolders of/path/to/log
. It does not fetch log files from the/path/to/log
folder itself. If this setting is left empty, Filebeat will choose log paths based on your operating system. -
var.tags
- An array of tags describing the monitored CoreDNS setup.
Example dashboardedit
This module comes with a sample dashboard.
