redis插件的完整配置

input {
redis {
batch_count => 1 #返回的事件数量,此属性仅在list模式下起作用。
data_type => "list" #logstash redis插件工作方式
key => "logstash-test-list" #监听的键值
host => "127.0.0.1" #redis地址
port => 6379 #redis端口号
password => "123qwe" #如果有安全认证,此项为密码
db => 0 #redis数据库的编号
threads => 1 #启用线程数量
}
}
output {
stdout{}
}

工作流程

[Logstash-input-redis] 使用详解-LMLPHP

图不够专业,但是大致就如上图所示:

  • logstash启动redis插件
  • redis插件获取参数,进行校验工作
  • 判断监听模式(list,channel,pattern_channel等),根据不同的监听模式创建监听任务
  • 创建redis实例,绑定EVAL脚本;通过指定的redis模式,发送请求,监听数据
  • redis返回指定内容的数(可能是列表list,也可能是某个特定的频道中的数据)
  • 得到的数据,进行处理,返回给logstash
  • 如果发送了停止信号,则根据不同的模式,发送不同的命令退出redis。

源码剖析

首先是程序的自定义,这里设置了redis插件需要的参数,默认值,以及校验等。

[Logstash-input-redis] 使用详解-LMLPHP

然后注册Redis实例需要的信息,比如key的名字或者url等,可以看到默认的data_type是list模式。

[Logstash-input-redis] 使用详解-LMLPHP

程序运行的主要入口,根据不同的data_type,传递不同的实现方法,然后调用listener_loop执行循环监听

[Logstash-input-redis] 使用详解-LMLPHP

Listner_loop方法传递了两个参数,一个是监听器实现的方法,一个是处理的数据队列。循环是每秒钟执行一次,如果循环标识被设置,则退出。

[Logstash-input-redis] 使用详解-LMLPHP

上面的循环方法可以看到,是通过一个参数shutdown_requested来判断是否继续循环。该参数通过tear_down方法设置为true,然后根据不同的模式,指定不同的退出方式。

如果是list模式,则直接退出;如果是channel模式,则发送redis的unsubsribe命令退出;如果是pattern_channel,则发送punsubscribe退出。

[Logstash-input-redis] 使用详解-LMLPHP

在循环内部,判断是否已经创建了redis实例,如果没有创建,则调用connect方法创建;否则直接执行。

[Logstash-input-redis] 使用详解-LMLPHP

这里前一段是调用Redis的new方法,初始化一个redis实例。紧接着判断batch_count是否大于1,如果等于1,就什么也不做,然后返回redis。

如果batch_count大于1,那么就调用load_batch_script方法,加载Lua脚本,存储到redis中的lua脚本字典中,供后面使用。代码如下:

[Logstash-input-redis] 使用详解-LMLPHP

上面的代码应该是这个插件最难理解的部分了。为了弄清楚这段代码的工作,需要了解下面几个知识点:

  • lua脚本基本概念
  • Redis中的EVAL命令如何使用
  • 理解上面脚本的工作

首先,要想运行上面的脚本,必须是Redis2.6+的版本,才支持EVAL,否则会报错!EVAL命令与js中的差不多,就是可以把某一个字符串当做命令解析,其中字符串就包括lua脚本。这样有什么好处呢?

说白了,就是能一次性进行多个操作。比如我们可以在脚本中写入一连串的操作,这些操作会以原子模式,一次性在服务器执行完,在返回回来。

Lua脚本

关于lua脚本,其实没有详细研究的必要,但是一定要知道一个local和table的概念。local是创建本地的变量,这样就不会污染redis的数据。table是lua的一种数据结构,有点类似于json,可以存储数据。

EVAL命令

另外还要知道EVAL命令的使用方法,看下面这个命令,就好理解了!

EVAL "return KEYS[1] KEYS[2] ARGV[1] ARGV[2];" 2 name:xing age:13

就会返回:

name
age
xing
13

这段代码没有经过真正的操作,但是有助于理解就好!也就是说,EVAL后面跟着一段脚本,脚本后面跟着的就是参数,可以通过KEYS和ARGV数组获得,但是下标从1开始。

再来说说EVAL命令,它的执行过程如下:

  • 解析字符串脚本,根据校验和生成lua的方法
  • 把校验和和函数放入一个lua_script字典里面,之后就可以通过EVALSHA命令直接使用校验和执行函数。

有了这些理论基础以后,就可以看看上面的代码都做了什么了!

首先是获取参数,这个参数赋值给i;然后创建了一个对象res;紧接着调用llen命令,获得指定list的长度;如果list的长度大于i,则什么也不做;如果小于i,那么i就等于lenth;然后执行命令lpop,取出list中的元素,一共取i次,放入res中,最后返回。

说得通俗点,就是比较一下list元素个数与设置batch_count的值。如果batch_count为5,列表list中有5条以上的数据,那么直接取5条,一次性返回;否则取length条返回。

可以看到这段脚本的作用,就是让logstash一次请求,最多获得batch_count条事件,减小了服务器处理请求的压力。

讲完这段代码,可以看看不同的工作模式的实现代码了:

首先是list的代码,其实就是执行BLPOP命令,获取数据。如果在list模式中,还会去判断batch_count的值,如果是1直接退出;如果大于1,则使用evalsha命令调用之前保存的脚本方法。

[Logstash-input-redis] 使用详解-LMLPHP

至于channel和pattern_channel,就没啥解释的了,就是分别调用subscribe和psubsribe命令而已。

其实最难理解的,就是中间那段lua脚本~明白它的用处,redis插件也就不难理解了。
