Copy link. Discussion Item Does it make sense to store these files uncompressed instead of gzip-compressed? This will positively affect users - especially users with small clusters - as well as our own integration tests we can probably reduce the heap size of our integration test clusters. As a corollary, I expect that we reduce GC pressure a bit as well. We also have the choice to decide whether we load data on-heap or off-heap when we use a file instead of an input stream.

This means that we can provide an expert setting if we want to if certain users still prefer to have the data on-heap. Negative Consequences Loading the files is not free: The data are memory-mapped instead and take up native memory. The size of the config directory on disk increases from Investigate startup times Member Author.

I also think that it would be wise to double-check but on the Creative Commons site it says: You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially. An alternative, or possibly in conjunction with this idea, I think we should pursue both, but let's not make the immediate gains depend on the longer term goal of improving encoding.

Reduce heap-memory usage of ingest-geoip plugin …. Loyalsoldier Chore: prune dependencies. Chore: prune dependencies. Git stats 57 commits. Failed to load latest commit information. Chore: output all entries in plaintext CIDR format by default. Sep 10, Feat: remove unused replace action. Oct 4, This plugin bundles Creative Commons CC license databases. Logstash checks for database updates every day. It downloads the latest and can replace the old database while the plugin is running. If the database has never been updated successfully, as in air-gapped environments, Logstash can use CC license databases indefinitely.

After Logstash has switched to a EULA licensed database, the geoip filter will stop enriching events in order to maintain compliance if Logstash fails to check for database updates for 30 days.

When possible, allow Logstash to access the internet to download databases so that they are always up-to-date. You can then specify the proxy endpoint URL in the xpack. Use a custom endpoint air-gapped environments. Serve the static database files from your directory. For example, you can use Docker to serve the files from nginx server:. A [geoip][location] field is created if the GeoIP lookup returns a latitude and longitude. Versions 4.

Versions prior to 4. This plugin supports the following configuration options plus the Common Options described later. Also see Common Options for a list of options supported by all filter plugins. GeoIP lookup is surprisingly expensive. This filter uses an cache to take advantage of the fact that IPs agents are often found adjacent to one another in log files and rarely have a random distribution.

The higher you set this the more likely an item is to be in the cache and the faster this filter will run. However, if you set this too high you can use more memory than desired. Since the Geoip API upgraded to v2, there is not any eviction policy so far, if cache is full, no more record can be added.

Experiment with different values for this option to find the best performance for your dataset. There is really no reason to not want this behavior, the overhead is minimal and the speed gains are large. You signed in with another tab or window.
