bec_log_ingestor-1.7.1 is not a library.

bec_log_ingestor

Small service to pull BEC logs and metrics from Redis and push them to Loki and Mimir.

Configuration

There is an example config file in ./install/example_config.toml. Logging or metrics can be temporarily disabled individually with enable_logging = false or enable_logging = false at the top level. The config still needs to be syntactically valid for the disabled component, but the service will not try to connect to it.

Metric intervals

Builtin metrics can have their polling frequency defined in the config file, under [metrics.intervals], for example:

[metrics.intervals]
cpu_usage_percent = { Secondly = 15 }
ram_usage_bytes = { Daily = 1 }

Options for time periods are Millis, Secondly, Minutely, Hourly, Daily, and Weekly. { Hourly = 2 } corresponds to every two hours, not twice an hour.

Dynamically defined metrics

The config can be updated to look for metric values at specific keys in Redis without redeploying. These can be PubSub or polling key-value entries. For example:

[metrics.dynamic]
dynamic_metric = { read_type = { Poll = { Minutely = 15 } }, key = "/user/dynamicmetrics/1", dtype = "Float" }
dynamic_pubsub_metric = { read_type = "PubSub", key = "/user/dynamicmetrics/2", dtype = "Float" }

The dtype parameter represents how to parse the information obtained from Redis.

Deployment

To use the systemd service as-is, a config should be created at /etc/bec_log_ingestor.toml, following the example in install/example_config.toml. For SLS deployments this is managed in puppet already.
