mtail - extract whitebox monitoring data from application logs for collection into a timeseries database

mtail is a tool for extracting metrics from application logs to be exported into a timeseries database or timeseries calculator for alerting and dashboarding.

It fills a monitoring niche by being the glue between applications that do not export their own internal state (other than via logs) and existing monitoring systems, such that system operators do not need to patch those applications to instrument them or writing custom extraction code for every such application.

The extraction is controlled by mtail programs which define patterns and actions:

# simple line countercounter line_count/$/ { line_count++}

Metrics are exported for scraping by a collector as JSON or Prometheus format over HTTP, or can be periodically sent to a collectd, StatsD, or Graphite collector socket.

Installation

There are various ways of installing mtail.

Precompiled binaries

Precompiled binaries for released versions are available in the Releases page on Github. Using the latest production release binary is the recommended way of installing mtail.

Windows, OSX and Linux binaries are available.

Building from source

To build mtail from the source code yourself you need to have a working Go environment with version 1.9 or greater installed. mtail is go getable and go installable from this repository but is best if you use the Makefile to build it.

go get -u github.com/google/mtailcd $GOPATH/src/github.com/google/mtailmake install

If you develop the compiler you will need some additional tools like goyacc to be able to rebuild the parser.

See the Build instructions for more details.

A Dockerfile is included in this repository for local development as an alternative to installing Go in your environment, and takes care of all the build dependency installation, if you don't care for that.

Deployment

mtail works best when it paired with a timeseries-based calculator and alerting tool, like Prometheus.

So what you do is you take the metrics from the log files and you bring them down to the monitoring system?

It deals with the instrumentation so the engineers don't have to! It has the extraction skills! It is good at dealing with log files!!
