Chapter 15. Using the logging system role

As a system administrator, you can use the logging system role to configure a Red Hat Enterprise Linux host as a logging server to collect logs from many client systems.

15.1. Filtering local log messages by using the logging RHEL system role

You can use the property-based filter of the logging RHEL system role to filter your local log messages based on various conditions. As a result, you can achieve for example:

  • Log clarity: In a high-traffic environment, logs can grow rapidly. The focus on specific messages, like errors, can help to identify problems faster.
  • Optimized system performance: Excessive amount of logs is usually connected with system performance degradation. Selective logging for only the important events can prevent resource depletion, which enables your systems to run more efficiently.
  • Enhanced security: Efficient filtering through security messages, like system errors and failed logins, helps to capture only the relevant logs. This is important for detecting breaches and meeting compliance standards.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Create a playbook file, for example ~/playbook.yml, with the following content: 

    ---
- name: Deploy the logging solution
  hosts: managed-node-01.example.com
  tasks:
    - name: Filter logs based on a specific value they contain
      ansible.builtin.include_role:
        name: rhel-system-roles.logging
      vars:
        logging_inputs:
          - name: files_input
            type: basics
        logging_outputs:
          - name: files_output0
            type: files
            property: msg
            property_op: contains
            property_value: error
            path: /var/log/errors.log
          - name: files_output1
            type: files
            property: msg
            property_op: "!contains"
            property_value: error
            path: /var/log/others.log
        logging_flows:
          - name: flow0
            inputs: [files_input]
            outputs: [files_output0, files_output1]

    The settings specified in the example playbook include the following:

    logging_inputs
    Defines a list of logging input dictionaries. The type: basics option covers inputs from systemd journal or Unix socket.
    logging_outputs
    Defines a list of logging output dictionaries. The type: files option supports storing logs in the local files, usually in the /var/log/ directory. The property: msg; property: contains; and property_value: error options specify that all logs that contain the error string are stored in the /var/log/errors.log file. The property: msg; property: !contains; and property_value: error options specify that all other logs are put in the /var/log/others.log file. You can replace the error value with the string by which you want to filter.
    logging_flows
    Defines a list of logging flow dictionaries to specify relationships between logging_inputs and logging_outputs. The inputs: [files_input] option specifies a list of inputs, from which processing of logs starts. The outputs: [files_output0, files_output1] option specifies a list of outputs, to which the logs are sent.

    For details about all variables used in the playbook, see the /usr/share/ansible/roles/rhel-system-roles.logging/README.md file on the control node.

  2. Validate the playbook syntax: 

    $ ansible-playbook --syntax-check ~/playbook.yml

    Note that this command only validates the syntax and does not protect against a wrong but valid configuration.

  3. Run the playbook: 

    $ ansible-playbook ~/playbook.yml

Verification

  1. On the managed node, test the syntax of the /etc/rsyslog.conf file: 

    # rsyslogd -N 1
rsyslogd: version 8.1911.0-6.el8, config validation run...
rsyslogd: End of config validation run. Bye.

  2. On the managed node, verify that the system sends messages that contain the error string to the log:

    1. Send a test message: 

      # logger error

    2. View the /var/log/errors.log log, for example: 

      # cat /var/log/errors.log
Aug  5 13:48:31 hostname root[6778]: error

      Where hostname is the host name of the client system. Note that the log contains the user name of the user that entered the logger command, in this case root.

15.2. Applying a remote logging solution by using the logging RHEL system role

You can use the logging RHEL system role to configure a remote logging solution, where one or more clients take logs from the systemd-journal service and forward them to a remote server. The server receives remote input from the remote_rsyslog and remote_files configurations, and outputs the logs to local files in directories named by remote host names.

As a result, you can cover use cases where you need for example:

  • Centralized log management: Collecting, accessing, and managing log messages of multiple machines from a single storage point simplifies day-to-day monitoring and troubleshooting tasks. Also, this use case reduces the need to log into individual machines to check the log messages.
  • Enhanced security: Storing log messages in one central place increases chances they are in a secure and tamper-proof environment. Such an environment makes it easier to detect and respond to security incidents more effectively and to meet audit requirements.
  • Improved efficiency in log analysis: Correlating log messages from multiple systems is important for fast troubleshooting of complex problems that span multiple machines or services. That way you can quickly analyze and cross-reference events from different sources.

15.3. Using the logging RHEL system role with TLS

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol designed to allow secure communication over the computer network.

You can use the logging RHEL system role to configure a secure transfer of log messages, where one or more clients take logs from the systemd-journal service and transfer them to a remote server while using TLS.

Typically, TLS for transferring logs in a remote logging solution is used when sending sensitive data over less trusted or public networks, such as the Internet. Also, by using certificates in TLS you can ensure that the client is forwarding logs to the correct and trusted server. This prevents attacks like "man-in-the-middle".

15.3.1. Configuring client logging with TLS

You can use the logging RHEL system role to configure logging on RHEL clients and transfer logs to a remote logging system using TLS encryption.

This procedure creates a private key and a certificate. Next, it configures TLS on all hosts in the clients group in the Ansible inventory. The TLS protocol encrypts the message transmission for secure transfer of logs over the network.

Note

You do not have to call the certificate RHEL system role in the playbook to create the certificate. The logging RHEL system role calls it automatically when the logging_certificates variable is set.

In order for the CA to be able to sign the created certificate, the managed nodes must be enrolled in an IdM domain.

Prerequisites

  • You have prepared the control node and the managed nodes
  • You are logged in to the control node as a user who can run playbooks on the managed nodes.
  • The account you use to connect to the managed nodes has sudo permissions on them.
  • The managed nodes are enrolled in an IdM domain.
  • If the logging server you want to configure on the manage node runs RHEL 9.2 or later and the FIPS mode is enabled, clients must either support the Extended Master Secret (EMS) extension or use TLS 1.3. TLS 1.2 connections without EMS fail. For more information, see the TLS extension "Extended Master Secret" enforced Knowledgebase article.

Procedure

  1. Create a playbook file, for example ~/playbook.yml, with the following content: 

    ---
- name: Configure remote logging solution using TLS for secure transfer of logs
  hosts: managed-node-01.example.com
  tasks:
    - name: Deploying files input and forwards output with certs

            pki_authmode: x509/name
            permitted_server: 'server.example.com'
        logging_flows:
          - name: flow_name
            inputs: [input_name]
            outputs: [output_name]

    The settings specified in the example playbook include the following:

    logging_certificates
    The value of this parameter is passed on to certificate_requests in the certificate RHEL system role and used to create a private key and certificate.
    logging_pki_files

    Using this parameter, you can configure the paths and other settings that logging uses to find the CA, certificate, and key files used for TLS, specified with one or more of the following sub-parameters: ca_cert, ca_cert_src, cert, cert_src, private_key, private_key_src, and tls.

    Note

    If you are using logging_certificates to create the files on the managed node, do not use ca_cert_src, cert_src, and private_key_src, which are used to copy files not created by logging_certificates.

15.4. Using the logging RHEL system roles with RELP

Reliable Event Logging Protocol (RELP) is a networking protocol for data and message logging over the TCP network. It ensures reliable delivery of event messages and you can use it in environments that do not tolerate any message loss.

The RELP sender transfers log entries in the form of commands and the receiver acknowledges them once they are processed. To ensure consistency, RELP stores the transaction number to each transferred command for any kind of message recovery.

You can consider a remote logging system in between the RELP Client and RELP Server. The RELP Client transfers the logs to the remote logging system and the RELP Server receives all the logs sent by the remote logging system. To achieve that use case, you can use the logging RHEL system role to configure the logging system to reliably send and receive log entries.

15.4.1. Configuring client logging with RELP

You can use the logging RHEL system role to configure a transfer of log messages stored locally to the remote logging system with RELP.

This procedure configures RELP on all hosts in the clients group in the Ansible inventory. The RELP configuration uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt the message transmission for secure transfer of logs over the network.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Create a playbook file, for example ~/playbook.yml, with the following content: 

    ---
- name: Configure client-side of the remote logging solution using RELP
  hosts: managed-node-01.example.com
  tasks:
    - name: Deploy basic input and RELP output
      ansible.builtin.include_role:
        name: rhel-system-roles.logging
      vars:
        logging_inputs:
          - name: basic_input
            type: basics
        logging_outputs:
          - name: relp_client
            type: relp
            target: logging.server.com
            port: 20514
            tls: true
            ca_cert: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.pem
            cert: /etc/pki/tls/certs/client-cert.pem
            private_key: /etc/pki/tls/private/client-key.pem
            pki_authmode: name
            permitted_servers:
              - '*.server.example.com'
        logging_flows:
          - name: example_flow
            inputs: [basic_input]
            outputs: [relp_client]

    The settings specified in the example playbook include the following:

    target
    This is a required parameter that specifies the host name where the remote logging system is running.
    port
    Port number the remote logging system is listening.
    tls

    Ensures secure transfer of logs over the network. If you do not want a secure wrapper you can set the tls variable to false. By default tls parameter is set to true while working with RELP and requires key/certificates and triplets {ca_cert, cert, private_key} and/or {ca_cert_src, cert_src, private_key_src}.

    • If the {ca_cert_src, cert_src, private_key_src} triplet is set, the default locations /etc/pki/tls/certs and /etc/pki/tls/private are used as the destination on the managed node to transfer files from control node. In this case, the file names are identical to the original ones in the triplet
    • If the {ca_cert, cert, private_key} triplet is set, files are expected to be on the default path before the logging configuration.
    • If both triplets are set, files are transferred from local path from control node to specific path of the managed node.
    ca_cert
    Represents the path to CA certificate. Default path is /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.pem and the file name is set by the user.

    Represents the path to private key. Default path is /etc/pki/tls/private/server-key.pem and the file name is set by the user.
    ca_cert_src
    Represents local CA certificate file path which is copied to the managed node. If ca_cert is specified, it is copied to the location.
    cert_src
    Represents the local certificate file path which is copied to the managed node. If cert is specified, it is copied to the location.
    private_key_src
    Represents the local key file path which is copied to the managed node. If private_key is specified, it is copied to the location.
    pki_authmode
    Accepts the authentication mode as name or fingerprint.
    permitted_servers
    List of servers that will be allowed by the logging client to connect and send logs over TLS.
    inputs
    List of logging input dictionary.
    outputs
    List of logging output dictionary.

    For details about all variables used in the playbook, see the /usr/share/ansible/roles/rhel-system-roles.logging/README.md file on the control node.

15.4.2. Configuring server logging with RELP

You can use the logging RHEL system role to configure a server for receiving log messages from the remote logging system with RELP.

This procedure configures RELP on all hosts in the server group in the Ansible inventory. The RELP configuration uses TLS to encrypt the message transmission for secure transfer of logs over the network.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Create a playbook file, for example ~/playbook.yml, with the following content: 

    ---
- name: Configure server-side of the remote logging solution using RELP
  hosts: managed-node-01.example.com
  tasks:
    - name: Deploying remote input and remote_files output
      ansible.builtin.include_role:
        name: rhel-system-roles.logging
      vars:
        logging_inputs:
          - name: relp_server
            type: relp
            port: 20514
            tls: true
            ca_cert: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.pem
            cert: /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-cert.pem
            private_key: /etc/pki/tls/private/server-key.pem
            pki_authmode: name
            permitted_clients:
              - '*example.client.com'
        logging_outputs:
          - name: remote_files_output
            type: remote_files
        logging_flows:
          - name: example_flow
            inputs: relp_server
            outputs: remote_files_output

    The settings specified in the example playbook include the following:

    port
    Port number the remote logging system is listening.
    tls

    Ensures secure transfer of logs over the network. If you do not want a secure wrapper you can set the tls variable to false. By default tls parameter is set to true while working with RELP and requires key/certificates and triplets {ca_cert, cert, private_key} and/or {ca_cert_src, cert_src, private_key_src}.

    • If the {ca_cert_src, cert_src, private_key_src} triplet is set, the default locations /etc/pki/tls/certs and /etc/pki/tls/private are used as the destination on the managed node to transfer files from control node. In this case, the file names are identical to the original ones in the triplet
    • If the {ca_cert, cert, private_key} triplet is set, files are expected to be on the default path before the logging configuration.
    • If both triplets are set, files are transferred from local path from control node to specific path of the managed node.
    ca_cert
    Represents the path to CA certificate. Default path is /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.pem and the file name is set by the user.
    cert
    Represents the path to the certificate. Default path is /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-cert.pem and the file name is set by the user.
    private_key
    Represents the path to private key. Default path is /etc/pki/tls/private/server-key.pem and the file name is set by the user.
    ca_cert_src
    Represents local CA certificate file path which is copied to the managed node. If ca_cert is specified, it is copied to the location.
    cert_src
    Represents the local certificate file path which is copied to the managed node. If cert is specified, it is copied to the location.
    private_key_src
    Represents the local key file path which is copied to the managed node. If private_key is specified, it is copied to the location.
    pki_authmode
    Accepts the authentication mode as name or fingerprint.
    permitted_clients
    List of clients that will be allowed by the logging server to connect and send logs over TLS.
    inputs
    List of logging input dictionary.
    outputs
    List of logging output dictionary.

    For details about all variables used in the playbook, see the /usr/share/ansible/roles/rhel-system-roles.logging/README.md file on the control node.

  2. Validate the playbook syntax: 

    $ ansible-playbook --syntax-check ~/playbook.yml

    Note that this command only validates the syntax and does not protect against a wrong but valid configuration.

  3. Run the playbook: 

    $ ansible-playbook ~/playbook.yml
