Logstash and Filebeat in 5 minutes

What/Why?

• Filebeat is a log shipper, capture files and send to Logstash for processing and eventual indexing in Elasticsearch
• Logstash is a heavy swiss army knife when it comes to log capture/processing
• Centralized logging, necessarily for deployments with > 1 server
• Super-easy to get setup, a little trickier to configure
• Captured data is easy to visualize with Kibana
• Wny not just Logstash (ELK is so hot right now)?

# In order open a file relative to the executing script path (vs relative to the working directory of the python interpreter)
# use:

import os

path = 'a/relative/file/path/to/this/script/file.txt'

with open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), path), 'r') as input_file:
    content = input_file.read()

tmux 101 - the terminal multiplexer

Why tmux?

• Why use a terminal multiplexer?
  • Keeps your hands on the keyboard
  • Keep multiple terminals in eyeshot
  • Detach/re-attach remote session (eg. for long-running processes)
• Like screen, but better

Hosting live dev site reviews using SSH reverse tunnels

Why

• Allows for end-users to be able to interact with your dev site directly, using their own browser and their own tools from their own computer
• Easier for manual cross-browser testing (eg. use IE on Windows VM to test your dev site w/o having to deploy the site to a server)

How

These instructions assume the public server is Ubuntu-based and the dev machine has an SSH client
