Building log analysis platform

Logs record key events in the system and contain crucial information such as the events' subject, time, location, and content. To meet the diverse needs of observability in operations, network security monitoring, and business analysis, enterprises might need to collect scattered logs for centralized storage, querying, and analysis to extract valuable content from the log data further.

In this scenario, Apache Doris provides a corresponding solution. With the characteristics of log scenarios in mind, Apache Doris added inverted-index and ultra-fast full-text search capabilities, optimizing write performance and storage space to the extreme. This allows users to build an open, high-performance, cost-effective, and unified log storage and analysis platform based on Apache Doris.

Focused on this solution, this chapter contains the following 3 sections:

  • Overall architecture: This section explains the core components and architecture of the log storage and analysis platform built on Apache Doris.

  • Features and advantages: This section explains the features and advantages of the log storage and analysis platform built on Apache Doris.

  • Operational guide: This section explains how to build a log storage and analysis platform based on Apache Doris.

Overall architecture​

The following figure illustrates the architecture of the log storage and analysis platform built on Apache Doris:

Overall architecture

The architecture contains the following 3 parts:

  • Log collection and preprocessing: Various log collection tools can write log data into Apache Doris through HTTP APIs.

  • Log storage and analysis engine: Apache Doris provides high-performance, low-cost unified log storage, offering rich retrieval and analysis capabilities through SQL interfaces.

  • Log analysis and alert interface: Various log retrieval and analysis tools can query Apache Doris through standard SQL interfaces, providing users with a simple and user-friendly interface.

Features and advantages​

The following figure illustrates the architecture of the log storage and analysis platform built on Apache Doris::

  • High throughput, low latency log writing: Supports stable writing of log data at the level of hundreds of TBs and GB/s per day, while maintaining latency within 1 second.

  • Cost-effective storage of massive log data: Supports petabyte-scale storage, saving 60% to 80% in storage costs compared to Elasticsearch, and further reducing storage costs by 50% by storing cold data in S3/HDFS.

  • High-performance log full-text search and analysis: Supports inverted indexes and full-text search, providing second-level response times for common log queries (keyword searches, trend analysis, etc.).

  • Open and user-friendly upstream and downstream ecosystem: Upstream integration with common log collection systems and data sources such as Logstash, Filebeat, Fluentbit, and Kafka through Stream Load's universal HTTP APIs, and downstream integration with various visual analytics UIs using standard MySQL protocol and syntax, such as observability platform Grafana, BI analytics Superset, and log retrieval Doris WebUI similar to Kibana.

Cost-effective performance​

After Benchmark testing and production validation, the log storage and analysis platform built on Apache Doris has a 5 to 10 times cost-performance advantage over Elasticsearch. Apache Doris's performance benefits are mainly due to its globally leading high-performance storage and query engine, as well as specialized optimizations for log scenarios:

  • Improved write throughput: Elasticsearch's write performance bottleneck lies in CPU consumption for parsing data and building inverted indexes. In comparison, Apache Doris has optimized writes in two aspects: using SIMD and other CPU vector instructions to improve JSON data parsing speed and index-building performance and simplifying the inverted index structure for log scenarios by removing unnecessary data structures like forward indexes, effectively reducing index build complexity. With the same resources, Apache Doris's write performance is 3 to 5 times higher than Elasticsearch.

  • Reduced Storage Costs: The storage bottleneck in Elasticsearch lies in the multiple storage formats for forward indexes, inverted indexes, and Docvalue columns, as well as the relatively low compression ratio of its general compression algorithms. In contrast, Apache Doris has made the following optimizations in storage: it removes the forward index, reducing the index data size by 30%; it uses columnar storage and the Zstandard compression algorithm, achieving a compression ratio of 5 to 10 times, which is significantly higher than Elasticsearch's 1.5 times; in log data, cold data is accessed very infrequently, and Apache Doris's hot and cold data tiering feature can automatically store logs that exceed a defined time period into lower-cost object storage, reducing the storage cost of cold data by more than 70%. For the same raw data, Doris's storage costs are only about 20% of those of Elasticsearch.

Strong analytical capabilities​

Apache Doris supports standard SQL and is compatible with MySQL protocol and syntax. Therefore, log systems built on Apache Doris can use SQL for log analysis, giving the following advantages to log systems:

  • Easy to use: Engineers and data analysts are very familiar with SQL, their expertise can be reused, no need to learn new technology stacks to quickly get started.

  • Rich ecosystem: The MySQL ecosystem is the most widely used language in the database field, seamlessly integrating with and applying to the MySQL ecosystem. Doris can leverage MySQL command line and various GUI tools, BI tools, and other big data ecosystem tools for more complex and diverse data processing and analysis needs.

  • Strong analytical capabilities: SQL has become the de facto standard for database and big data analysis, with powerful expressive capabilities and functions supporting retrieval, aggregation, multi-table JOIN, subqueries, UDFs, logical views, materialized views, and various data analysis capabilities.

Flexible Schema​

Here is a typical example of a semi-structured log in JSON format. The top-level fields are some fixed fields, such as timestamp, source, node, component, level, clientRequestID, message, and properties, which are present in every log entry. The nested fields of the properties , such as properties.size and properties.format are more dynamic, and the fields of each log may vary.

{  
  "timestamp": "2014-03-08T00:50:03.8432810Z",
  "source": "ADOPTIONCUSTOMERS81",
  "node": "Engine000000000405",
  "level": "Information",
  "component": "DOWNLOADER",
  "clientRequestId": "671db15d-abad-94f6-dd93-b3a2e6000672",
  "message": "Downloading file path: benchmark/2014/ADOPTIONCUSTOMERS81_94_0.parquet.gz",
  "properties": {
    "size": 1495636750,
    "format": "parquet",
    "rowCount": 855138,
    "downloadDuration": "00:01:58.3520561"
  }
}

Apache Doris provides several aspects of support for Flexible Schema log data:

  • For changes to top-level fields, Light Schema Change can be used to add or remove columns and to add or remove indexes, enabling schema changes to be completed in seconds. When planning a log platform, users only need to consider which fields need to be indexed.

Operational guide​

Step 1: Estimate resources​

Before deploying the cluster, you need to estimate the hardware resources required for the servers. Follow the steps below:

  1. Estimate the resources for data writing by the following calculation formulas:

  • Average write throughput = Daily data increment / 86400 s

  • Peak write throughput = Average write throughput \* Ratio of the peak write throughput to the average write throughput

  • Number of CPU cores for the peak write throughput = Peak write throughput / Write throughput of a single-core CPU

  1. Estimate the resources for data storage by the calculation formula: Storage space = Daily data increment / Data compression ratio * Number of data copies * Data storage duration.

  2. Estimate the resources for data querying. The resources for data querying depend on the query volume and complexity. It is recommended to reserve 50% of CPU resources for data query initially and then adjust according to the actual test results.

  3. Integrate the calculation results as follows:

    1. Divide the number of CPU cores calculated in Step 1 and Step 3 by the number of CPU cores of a BE server, and you can get the number of BE servers.

    2. Based on the number of BE servers and the calculation result of Step 2, estimate the storage space required for each BE server.

    3. Allocate the storage space required for each BE server to 4 to 12 data disks, and you can get the storage capacity required for a single data disk.

For example, suppose that the daily data increment is 100 TB, the data compression ratio is 5, the number of data copies is 1, the storage duration of hot data is 3 days, the storage duration of cold data is 30 days, the ratio of the peak write throughput to the average write throughput is 200%, the write throughput of a single-core CUP is 10 MB/s, and 50% of CPU resources are reserved for data querying, one can estimate that:

  • 3 FE servers are required, each configured with a 16-core CPU, 64 GB memory, and an 1 100 GB SSD disk.

  • 15 BE servers are required, each configured with a 32-core CPU, 256 GB memory, and 10 600 GB SSD disks.

  • S3 object storage space 600 TB

Refer to the following table to learn about the values of indicators in the example above and how they are calculated.

Peak write throughput (MB/s)2427Calculation formula: Average write throughput * Ratio of the peak write throughput to the average write throughput
Number of CPU cores for the peak write throughput242.7Calculation formula: Peak write throughput / Write throughput of a single-core CPU
Percent of CPU resources reserved for data querying50%Specify the value according to your actual needs. The default value is 50%.
Estimated number of BE servers15.2Calculation formula: Number of CPU cores for the peak write throughput / Number of CPU cores of a BE server /(1 - Percent of CPU resources reserved for data querying)
Rounded number of BE servers15Calculation formula: MAX (Number of data copies, Estimated number of BE servers)
Estimated data storage space for each BE server (TB)5.7Calculation formula: Estimated storage space for hot data / Estimated number of BE servers /(1 - 30%), where 30% represents the percent of reserved storage space.

It is recommended to mount 4 to 12 data disks on each BE server to enhance I/O capabilities.

Step 2: Deploy the cluster​

After estimating the resources, you need to deploy the cluster. It is recommended to deploy in both physical and virtual environments manually. For manual deployment, refer to Manual Deployment.

Step 3: Optimize FE and BE configurations​

After completing the cluster deployment, it is necessary to optimize the configuration parameters for both the front-end and back-end separately, so as to better suit the scenario of log storage and analysis.

Optimize FE configurations

You can find FE configuration fields in fe/conf/fe.conf. Refer to the following table to optimize FE configurations.

Configuration fields to be optimizedDescription
max_running_txn_num_per_db = 10000Increase the parameter value to adapt to high-concurrency import transactions.
streaming_label_keep_max_second = 3600 label_keep_max_second = 7200Increase the retention time to handle high-frequency import transactions with high memory usage.

tablet_rebalancer_type = partitionWhen balancing Tablets, use a strategy to evenly distribute within each partition.
autobucket_min_buckets = 10Increase the minimum number of automatically bucketed buckets from 1 to 10 to avoid insufficient buckets when the log volume increases.
max_backend_heartbeat_failure_tolerance_count = 10In log scenarios, the BE server may experience high pressure, leading to short-term timeouts, so increase the tolerance count from 1 to 10.

For more information, refer to FE Configuration.

Optimize BE configurations

You can find BE configuration fields in be/conf/be.conf. Refer to the following table to optimize BE configurations.

ModuleConfiguration fields to be optimizedDescription
Storagestorage_root_path = /path/to/dir1;/path/to/dir2;...;/path/to/dir12Configure the storage path for hot data on disk directories.

For more information, refer to BE Configuration.

Step 4: Create tables​

Due to the distinct characteristics of both writing and querying log data, it is recommended to configure tables with targeted settings to enhance performance.

Configure data partitioning and bucketing

  • For data partitioning:

    • Enable range partitioning (PARTITION BY RANGE(ts)) with dynamic partitions ("dynamic_partition.enable" = "true") managed automatically by day.

    • Use a field in the DATETIME type as the key (DUPLICATE KEY(ts)) for accelerated retrieval of the latest N log entries.

  • For data bucketing:

    • Configure the number of buckets to be roughly three times the total number of disks in the cluster, with each bucket containing approximately 5GB of data after compression.

    • Use the Random strategy (DISTRIBUTED BY RANDOM BUCKETS 60) to optimize batch writing efficiency when paired with single tablet imports.

For more information, refer to Data Partitioning.

Configure compression parameters

Use the zstd compression algorithm ("compression" = "zstd") to improve data compression efficiency.

Configure compaction parameters

Configure compaction fields as follows:

  • Use the time_series strategy ("compaction_policy" = "time_series") to reduce write amplification, which is crucial for high-throughput log writes.

Configure index parameters

Configuring index fields as follows:

  • Create indexes for fields that are frequently queried (USING INVERTED).

  • For fields that require full-text search, specify the parser field as unicode, which satisfies most requirements. If there is a need to support phrase queries, set the support_phrase field to true; if not needed, set it to false to reduce storage space.

Configure storage parameters

Configure storage policies as follows:

  • For storage of hot data, if using cloud storage, configure the number of data copies as 1; if using physical disks, configure the number of data copies as at least 2 ("replication_num" = "2").

  • Configure the storage location for log_s3 (CREATE RESOURCE "log_s3") and set the log_policy_3day policy (CREATE STORAGE POLICY log_policy_3day), where the data is cooled and moved to the specified storage location of log_s3 after 3 days. Refer to the code below.

CREATE DATABASE log_db;
USE log_db;

CREATE RESOURCE "log_s3"
PROPERTIES
(
    "type" = "s3",
    "s3.endpoint" = "your_endpoint_url",
    "s3.region" = "your_region",
    "s3.bucket" = "your_bucket",
    "s3.root.path" = "your_path",
    "s3.access_key" = "your_ak",
    "s3.secret_key" = "your_sk"
);

CREATE STORAGE POLICY log_policy_3day
PROPERTIES(
    "storage_resource" = "log_s3",
    "cooldown_ttl" = "259200"
);

CREATE TABLE log_table
(
  `ts` DATETIME,
  `host` TEXT,
  `path` TEXT,
  `message` TEXT,
  INDEX idx_host (`host`) USING INVERTED,
  INDEX idx_path (`path`) USING INVERTED,
  INDEX idx_message (`message`) USING INVERTED PROPERTIES("parser" = "unicode", "support_phrase" = "true")
)
ENGINE = OLAP
DUPLICATE KEY(`ts`)
PARTITION BY RANGE(`ts`) ()
DISTRIBUTED BY RANDOM BUCKETS 60
PROPERTIES (
  "compression" = "zstd",
  "compaction_policy" = "time_series",
  "dynamic_partition.enable" = "true",
  "dynamic_partition.create_history_partition" = "true",
  "dynamic_partition.time_unit" = "DAY",
  "dynamic_partition.start" = "-30",
  "dynamic_partition.end" = "1",
  "dynamic_partition.prefix" = "p",
  "dynamic_partition.buckets" = "60",
  "dynamic_partition.replication_num" = "2", -- unneccessary for the compute-storage coupled mode
  "replication_num" = "2", -- unneccessary for the compute-storage coupled mode
  "storage_policy" = "log_policy_3day" -- unneccessary for the compute-storage coupled mode
);

Step 5: Collect logs​

After completing table creation, you can proceed with log collection.

Apache Doris provides open and versatile Stream HTTP APIs, through which you can connect with popular log collectors such as Logstash, Filebeat, Kafka, and others to carry out log collection work. This section explains how to integrate these log collectors using the Stream HTTP APIs.

Integrating Logstash

Follow these steps:

  1. Download and install the Logstash Doris Output plugin. You can choose one of the following two methods:

    • Click to download and install.

    • Compile from the source code and run the following command to install:

./bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-doris-1.0.0.gem
  1. Configure Logstash. Specify the following fields:
  • logstash.yml: Used to configure Logstash batch processing log sizes and timings for improved data writing performance.
pipeline.batch.size: 1000000  
pipeline.batch.delay: 10000
  • logstash_demo.conf: Used to configure the specific input path of the collected logs and the settings for output to Apache Doris.
input {  
    file {  
    path => "/path/to/your/log"  
  }  
}  

output {  
  doris {  
    http_hosts => [ "<http://fehost1:http_port>", "<http://fehost2:http_port>", "<http://fehost3:http_port">]  
    user => "your_username"  
    password => "your_password"  
    db => "your_db"  
    table => "your_table"  
    
    # doris stream load http headers  
    headers => {  
    "format" => "json"  
    "read_json_by_line" => "true"  
    "load_to_single_tablet" => "true"  
    }  
    
    # field mapping: doris fileld name => logstash field name  
    # %{} to get a logstash field, [] for nested field such as [host][name] for host.name  
    mapping => {  
    "ts" => "%{@timestamp}"  
    "host" => "%{[host][name]}"  
    "path" => "%{[log][file][path]}"  
    "message" => "%{message}"  
    }  
    log_request => true  
    log_speed_interval => 10  
  }  
}
    ```

3. Run Logstash according to the command below, collect logs, and output to Apache Doris.

```shell  
./bin/logstash -f logstash_demo.conf

For more information about the Logstash Doris Output plugin, see Logstash Doris Output Plugin.

Integrating Filebeat

Follow these steps:

  1. Obtain the Filebeat binary file that supports output to Apache Doris. You can click to download or compile it from the Apache Doris source code.

  2. Configure Filebeat. Specify the filebeat_demo.yml field that is used to configure the specific input path of the collected logs and the settings for output to Apache Doris.

# input
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
enabled: true
paths:
    - /path/to/your/log
multiline:
    type: pattern
    pattern: '^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}'
    negate: true
    match: after
    skip_newline: true

processors:
- script:
    lang: javascript
    source: >
        function process(event) {
            var msg = event.Get("message");
            msg = msg.replace(/\t/g, "  ");
            event.Put("message", msg);
        }
- dissect:
    # 2024-06-08 18:26:25,481 INFO (report-thread|199) [ReportHandler.cpuReport():617] begin to handle
    tokenizer: "%{day} %{time} %{log_level} (%{thread}) [%{position}] %{content}"
    target_prefix: ""
    ignore_failure: true
    overwrite_keys: true

# queue and batch
queue.mem:
events: 1000000
flush.min_events: 100000
flush.timeout: 10s

# output
output.doris:
fenodes: [ "http://fehost1:http_port", "http://fehost2:http_port", "http://fehost3:http_port" ]
user: "your_username"
password: "your_password"
database: "your_db"
table: "your_table"
# output string format
codec_format_string: '{"ts": "%{[day]} %{[time]}", "host": "%{[agent][hostname]}", "path": "%{[log][file][path]}", "message": "%{[message]}"}'
headers:
    format: "json"
    read_json_by_line: "true"
    load_to_single_tablet: "true"

  1. Run Filebeat according to the command below, collect logs, and output to Apache Doris.

    chmod +x filebeat-doris-1.0.0  
    ./filebeat-doris-1.0.0 -c filebeat_demo.yml

For more information about Filebeat, refer to Beats Doris Output Plugin.

Integrating Kafka

Write JSON formatted logs to Kafka's message queue, create a Kafka Routine Load, and allow Apache Doris to actively pull data from Kafka.

You can refer to the example below, where property.* represents Librdkafka client-related configurations and needs to be adjusted according to the actual Kafka cluster situation.

CREATE ROUTINE LOAD load_log_kafka ON log_db.log_table  
COLUMNS(ts, clientip, request, status, size)  
PROPERTIES (  
"max_batch_interval" = "10",  
"max_batch_rows" = "1000000",  
"max_batch_size" = "109715200",  
"load_to_single_tablet" = "true",  
"timeout" = "600",  
"strict_mode" = "false",  
"format" = "json"  
)  
FROM KAFKA (  
"kafka_broker_list" = "host:port",  
"kafka_topic" = "log__topic_",  
"property.group.id" = "your_group_id",  
"property.security.protocol"="SASL_PLAINTEXT",  
"property.sasl.mechanism"="GSSAPI",  
"property.sasl.kerberos.service.name"="kafka",  
"property.sasl.kerberos.keytab"="/path/to/xxx.keytab",  
"property.sasl.kerberos.principal"="<xxx@yyy.com>"  
);  
<br />SHOW ROUTINE LOAD;

For more information about Kafka, see Routine Load.

Using customized programs to collect logs

In addition to integrating common log collectors, you can also customize programs to import log data into Apache Doris using the Stream Load HTTP API. Refer to the following code:

curl   
--location-trusted   
-u username:password   
-H "format:json"   
-H "read_json_by_line:true"   
-H "load_to_single_tablet:true"   
-H "timeout:600"   
-T logfile.json   
http://fe_host:fe_http_port/api/log_db/log_table/_stream_load

When using custom programs, pay attention to the following key points:

  • Use Basic Auth for HTTP authentication, calculate using the command echo -n 'username:password' | base64.

  • Set HTTP header "format:json" to specify the data format as JSON.

  • Set HTTP header "read_json_by_line:true" to specify one JSON per line.

  • Set HTTP header "load_to_single_tablet:true" to import data into one bucket at a time to reduce small file imports.

  • It is recommended to write batches whose sizes are between 100MB to 1GB on the client side. For Apache Doris version 2.1 and higher, you need to reduce batch sizes on the client side through the Group Commit function.

Step 6: Query and analyze logs​

Query logs

Apache Doris supports standard SQL, so you can connect to the cluster through MySQL client or JDBC to execute SQL for log queries.

mysql -h fe_host -P fe_mysql_port -u your_username -Dyour_db_name

Here are 5 common SQL query commands for reference:

  • View the latest 10 log entries
SELECT * FROM your_table_name ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 10;
  • Query the latest 10 log entries with the host as 8.8.8.8
SELECT * FROM your_table_name WHERE host = '8.8.8.8' ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 10;
  • Retrieve the latest 10 log entries with error or 404 in the request field. In the command below, MATCH_ANY is a full-text search SQL syntax used by Apache Doris for matching any keyword in the fields.
SELECT * FROM your_table_name WHERE message **MATCH_ANY** 'error 404'  
ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 10;
  • Retrieve the latest 10 log entries with image and faq in the request field. In the command below, MATCH_ALL is a full-text search SQL syntax used by Apache Doris for matching all keywords in the fields.
SELECT * FROM your_table_name WHERE message **MATCH_ALL** 'image faq'  
ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 10;
  • Retrieve the latest 10 entries with image and faq in the request field. In the following command, MATCH_PHRASE is a full-text search SQL syntax used by Apache Doris for matching all keywords in the fields and requiring consistent order. In the example below, a image faq b can match, but a faq image b cannot match because the order of image and faq does not match the syntax.
SELECT * FROM your_table_name WHERE message **MATCH_PHRASE** 'image faq'  
ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 10;

Analyze logs visually

Some third-party vendors offer visual log analysis development platforms based on Apache Doris, which include a log search and analysis interface similar to Kibana Discover. These platforms provide an intuitive and user-friendly exploratory log analysis interaction.

WebUI

  • Support for full-text search and SQL modes

  • Support for selecting query log timeframes with time boxes and histograms

  • Display of detailed log information, expandable into JSON or tables

  • Interactive clicking to add and remove filter conditions in the log data context

  • Display of top field values in search results for finding anomalies and further drilling down for analysis
