Logstash写入Elasticsearch发生的metadata通配异常问题

说明

本文描述问题及解决方法同样适用于 腾讯云 Elasticsearch Service（ES）。

另外使用到：腾讯云 Logstash（Logstash，LS）。

系统环境说明

Linux环境：CentOS Linux release 7.2 (Final)

Elasticsearch：7.10.1

Logstash：7.10.2

Java：1.8.0_181

背景

我们在做Elasticsearch数据迁移的时候，往往因为数据量太多，有大量索引需要迁移，所以在logstash里配置的索引名多为模糊匹配，但是在实际使用中，却会遇到一些问题。

问题及解决方案

问题一：不允许使用通配符

解决方案

这个报错是因为output段index => 不允许为*，这里需要将output段里的index修改为

index => "%{[@metadata][_index]}"

问题二：目标集群自动创建出名称为@metadata的索引

这个问题是因为input段没有显式指定docinfo为true，其含义是开启文档信息，其中包含了索引名称、类型、文档id这些信息。如果没有显式指定为true，那这个值默认false，会导致output段拿不到metadata的相关值，直接导致%{[@metadata][_index]}等变量的异常。

解决方案

正确demo示范：

input {
   elasticsearch {
       hosts => "1.1.1.1:9200"
       index => "*"
       docinfo => true
       size => 5000
       scroll => "5m"
     }
}
output {
   elasticsearch {
       hosts => ["http://2.2.2.2:9200"]
       user => "elastic"
       password => "your_password"
       index => "%{[@metadata][_index]}"
       document_type => "%{[@metadata][_type]}"
       document_id => "%{[@metadata][_id]}"
   }
}

问题三：未知索引名称导致logstash写入报不允许通配的问题

在另一种场景中，我们没有使用metadata的docinfo信息，但是还是会拿到不允许通配的报错：

[2021-01-04T16:09:46,517][INFO ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch][main][15029ec90b014722fb1e21a3d9bea5122d0776b75db4d73c2b75c774c6d36eef] retrying failed action with response code: 403 ({"type"=>"security_exception", "reason"=>"action [indices:admin/create] is unauthorized for user [elastic]", "caused_by"=>{"type"=>"illegal_state_exception", "reason"=>"There are no external requests known to support wildcards that don't support replacing their indices"}})

[2021-01-04T16:10:47,124][INFO ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch][main][15029ec90b014722fb1e21a3d9bea5122d0776b75db4d73c2b75c774c6d36eef] retrying failed action with response code: 403 ({"type"=>"security_exception", "reason"=>"action [indices:admin/create] is unauthorized for user [elastic]", "caused_by"=>{"type"=>"illegal_state_exception", "reason"=>"There are no external requests known to support wildcards that don't support replacing their indices"}})
[2021-01-04T16:10:47,125][INFO ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch][main][15029ec90b014722fb1e21a3d9bea5122d0776b75db4d73c2b75c774c6d36eef] Retrying individual bulk actions that failed or were rejected by the previous bulk request. {:count=>1}

解决方案

遇到的问题很奇怪，经过一番检查，我们在logstash配置的output段发现了端倪：

output {
    	stdout {codec => rubydebug}
	if [rtype] {
        	elasticsearch {
                	#index => "%{rtype}_%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
                	index => "%{rtype}_%{date_index}"
                	hosts => ["http://2.2.2.2:9200"]
                	user => "elastic"
                	password => "your_password"
        	}
	}
}

这里可以明确地看到，if判断条件过于简单，只要字段存在就进行写入，并且还以条件为索引名。这个显然不合理，这种情况去查看索引列表，一定可以发现很多不符合预期的索引名称，包括通配符的存在，所以这里就需要进行优化。
