mrecco/pglog-collector repository overview

⁠Postgres query log collector

This is little app for collect logs from postgres csv logs to json. This is implement like pipeline-to-pipeline formatter. Logs ready for inject to graylog (via fluent, by example).

⁠Docker

See images here:

mrecco/logrotate:v1.0.0
mrecco/pglog-collector:v1.1.0
mrecco/fluentd:v1.3.3

⁠Configuration

⁠Postgres

We must enable csvlog behavior and disable integrated rotation (because we use logrotate for this). All changes on postgresql.conf file.

1. Add 'csvlog' to log_destination.
2. Set logging_collector to on. This is required for logging to CSV format.
3. Define log_directory and log_filename. You must know where you store logs. Set filename without any dynamic parameters.
4. Set log_file_mode to 600.
5. Set log_rotation_size and log_rotation_age to 0.
6. Set log_truncate_on_rotation to off

See example.postgresql.conf: this contain compliant log-related parameters.

⁠Logrotate

See volumes/logrotate/logrotate.conf.

You can use in without docker:

sudo -u postgres logrotate -f /path/to/postgresql-logrotate.conf

⁠Fluentd

All configured and ready to send to graylog. See volumes/fluentd directory.

⁠Solution (why this way and dont otherwise)

My code just convert ugly CSV format to JSON. JSON can be pushed to graylog by other applications and I satisfied how fluentd work for this.
