# Geoip2Influx

Docker Cloud Build Status

*** Adapted source: https://github.com/ratibor78/geostat ![](https://i.imgur.com/mh0IhYA.jpg) The script will parse the access log for IPs and and convert them into geo metrics for InfluxDB. It will also send log metrics if enabled. *** ## Usage ### Enviroment variables: These are the **default** values for all envs. Add the ones that differ on your system. | Environment Varialbe | Example Value | Description | | -------------------- | ------------- | ----------- | | NGINX_LOG_PATH | /config/log/nginx/access.log | Container path for Nginx logfile , defaults to the example. | | INFLUX_HOST | localhost | Host running InfluxDB. | | INFLUX_HOST_PORT | 8086 | Optional, defaults to 8086. | | INFLUX_DATABASE | geoip2influx | Optional, defaults to geoip2influx. | | INFLUX_USER | root | Optional, defaults to root. | | INFLUX_PASS | root | Optional, defaults to root. | | GEO_MEASUREMENT | geoip2influx | InfluxDB measurement name for geohashes. Optional, defaults to the example. | | LOG_MEASUREMENT | nginx_access_logs | InfluxDB measurement name for nginx logs. Optional, defaults to the example. | | SEND_NGINX_LOGS | true | Set to `false` to disable nginx logs. Optional, defaults to `true`. | | GEOIP2INFLUX_LOG_LEVEL | info | Sets the log level in geoip2influx.log. Use `debug` for verbose logging Optional, defaults to info. | | INFLUX_RETENTION | 30d | Sets the retention for the database. Optional, defaults to example.| | INFLUX_SHARD | 2d | Set the shard for the database. Optional, defaults to example. | | MAXMINDDB_LICENSE_KEY | xxxxxxx | Add your Maxmind licence key | ### MaxMind Geolite2 Default download location is `/config/geoip2db/GeoLite2-City.mmdb` Get your licence key here: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup ### InfluxDB The InfluxDB database will be created automatically with the name you choose. ``` -e INFLUX_DATABASE=geoip2influx ``` ### Docker ```bash docker create \ --name=geoip2influx \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e TZ=Europe/Oslo \ -e INFLUX_HOST= \ -e INFLUX_HOST_PORT= \ -e MAXMINDDB_LICENSE_KEY=\ -v /path/to/appdata/geoip2influx:/config \ -v /path/to/nginx/accesslog/:/config/log/nginx/ \ --restart unless-stopped \ gilbn/geoip2influx ``` ### Docker compose ```yaml version: "2.1" services: geoip2influx: image: gilbn/geoip2influx container_name: geoip2influx environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Europe/Oslo - INFLUX_HOST= - INFLUX_HOST_PORT= - MAXMINDDB_LICENSE_KEY= volumes: - /path/to/appdata/geoip2influx:/config - /path/to/nginx/accesslog/:/config/log/nginx/ restart: unless-stopped ``` *** ## Grafana dashboard: ### [Grafana Dashboard Link](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12268/) *** ## Sending Nginx log metrics 1. Add the following to the http block in your `nginx.conf` file: ```nginx geoip2 /config/geoip2db/GeoLite2-City.mmdb { auto_reload 5m; $geoip2_data_country_code country iso_code; $geoip2_data_city_name city names en; } log_format custom '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]' '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent' '"$http_referer" $host "$http_user_agent"' '"$request_time" "$upstream_connect_time"' '"$geoip2_data_city_name" "$geoip2_data_country_code"'; ``` 2. Set the access log use the `custom` log format. ```nginx access_log /config/log/nginx/access.log custom; ``` ### Multiple log files If you separate your nginx log files but want this script to parse all of them you can do the following: As nginx can have multiple `access log` directives in a block, just add another one in the server block. **Example** ```nginx access_log /config/log/nginx/technicalramblings/access.log custom; access_log /config/log/nginx/access.log custom; ``` This will log the same lines to both files. Then use the `/config/log/nginx/access.log` file in the `NGINX_LOG_PATH` variable. *** ## Updates **21.06.20** - Added $host(domain) to the nginx log metrics. This will break your nginx logs parsing, as you need to update the custom log format. **06.06.20** - Added influx retention policy to try and mitigate max-values-per-tag limit exceeded errors. * `-e INFLUX_RETENTION` Default 30d * `-e INFLUX_SHARD` Default 2d * It will only add the retention policy if the database doesn't exist. **30.05.20** - Added logging. Use `-e GEOIP2INFLUX_LOG_LEVEL` to set the log level. **15.05.20** - Removed `GEOIP2_KEY` and `GEOIP_DB_PATH`variables. With commit https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-letsencrypt/commit/75b9685fdb3ec6edda590300f289b0e75dd9efd0 the letsencrypt container now natively supports downloading and updating(weekly) the GeoLite2-City database!
