Store Docker Logs in Elasticsearch with Filebeat…

Create a filebeat configuation file named “filebeat.yaml”

filebeat.config:
  modules:
    path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
    reload.enabled: false

filebeat.autodiscover:
  providers:
    - type: docker
      hints.enabled: true

processors:
- add_cloud_metadata: ~

setup.ilm:
  enabled: false

output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: '${ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS:elasticsearch:9200}'
  username: '${ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME:}'
  password: '${ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD:}'

Create a docker-compose.yaml file

version: '3.0'
services:
  elasticsearch:
    hostname: elasticsearch
    image: elasticsearch:7.5.0
    ports:
      - 9200:9200
      - 9300:9300
    volumes:
      - esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
    environment:
      - discovery.type=single-node
      - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
  kibana: 
    hostname: kibana
    image: kibana:7.5.0
    ports: 
      - 5601:5601
    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch        
    environment:
      - XPACK_MONITORING_ENABLED=false
      - LOGGING_QUIET=true
  filebeat:
    user: root
    hostname: filebeat
    image: docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:7.5.1
    command: filebeat -e -strict.perms=false
    volumes:
      - ./filebeat.yaml:/usr/share/filebeat/filebeat.yml
      - /var/lib/docker/containers:/var/lib/docker/containers:ro
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    environment:
      - output.elasticsearch.hosts=["elasticsearch:9200"]
    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch
volumes: 
  esdata:

Startup the docker containers

docker-compuse up -d

Then you can access the logs via Kibana in the browser: http://localhost:5601/

Clojure connected to WinCC OA…

Because Clojure is a JVM language, oa4j can be used to connect to WinCC Open Architecture.

(def manager (new JManager))

(defn callback [values]
  (let [v (reduce #(+ %1 %2) (map #(.getValueObject %) values))];
    (dpSet :ExampleDP_Trend1. v)))

(defn -main [& args]
  (.init manager (into-array args))
  (.start manager)
  (dpSet {:ExampleDP_Arg1. 2.0 :ExampleDP_Arg2. 3.0})
  (println (clojure.string/join "," 
    (dpGet [:ExampleDP_Arg1. :ExampleDP_Arg2.])))
  (let [c (dpConnect [:ExampleDP_Arg1. :ExampleDP_Arg2.] callback)]
    (Thread/sleep 180000)
    (.disconnect c))
  (.stop manager))

Matrix Multiplication in Clojure…

Clojure code for matrix multiplication (source: Rosetta Code) … short & smart…

(def mmul (fn [a b]
  (let [nested-for (fn [f x y] (map (fn [a] (map (fn [b] (f a b)) y)) x))
        transpose (fn [m] (apply map vector m))]
    (nested-for (fn [x y] (reduce + (map * x y))) a (transpose b)))))

(def ma [[1 2 3 4]
         [4 3 2 1]])

(def mb [[1]
         [2]
         [3]
         [4]])

(defn -main [& args]
  (println (mmul ma mb)))

Siemens IoT2000 and WinCC OA….

Got an IoT2040 from Siemens. It is Arduino compatible and runs on Yocto Linux. ETM managed to compile the SCADA System WinCC Open Architecture on it, additionally we used a MQTT server (mosquitto), Node-Red with MQTT, and a MQTT Driver for WinCC OA written in Java… runs well. Just connected a simple LED and a Button with Node-Red, those can now be controlled by WinCC OA. Because WinCC OA runs on it, it can be used to connect a wide range of different devices (a lot of drivers are available for WinCC OA).

Perfect as an Edge device to collect data from the field… Industrial IoT with Siemens!
