Nginx 错误日志是运维人员最常见但又极其容易忽略的日志类型之一。Nginx 错误日志即没有统一明确的分隔符，也没有特别方便的正则模式，但通过 logstash 不同插件的组合，还是可以轻松做到数据处理。

值得注意的是，Nginx 错误日志中，有一类数据是接收过大请求体时的报错，默认信息会把请求体的具体字节数记录下来。每次请求的字节数基本都是在变化的，这意味着常用的 topN 等聚合函数对该字段都没有明显效果。所以，对此需要做一下特殊处理。

最后形成的 logstash 配置如下所示：

filter {
    grok {
        match => { "message" => "(?<datetime>dddd/dd/dd dd:dd:dd) [(?<errtype>w+)] S+: *d+ (?<errmsg>[^,]+), (?<errinfo>.*)$" }
    }
    mutate {
        rename => [ "host", "fromhost" ]
        gsub => [ "errmsg", "too large body: d+ bytes", "too large body" ]
    }
    if [errinfo]
    {
        ruby {
            code => "
                new_event = LogStash::Event.new(Hash[event.get('errinfo').split(', ').map{|l| l.split(': ')}])
                new_event.remove('@timestamp')
                event.append(new_event)
            "
        }
    }
    grok {
        match => { "request" => '"%{WORD:verb} %{URIPATH:urlpath}(?:?%{NGX_URIPARAM:urlparam})?(?: HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion})"' }
        patterns_dir => ["/etc/logstash/patterns"]
        remove_field => [ "message", "errinfo", "request" ]
    }
}

经过这段 logstash 配置的 Nginx 错误日志生成的事件如下所示：

{
    "@version": "1",
    "@timestamp": "2015-07-02T01:26:40.000Z",
    "type": "nginx-error",
    "errtype": "error",
    "errmsg": "client intended to send too large body",

}
