Simplified log ingestion
editSimplified log ingestion
editThere is a simplified option for ingesting log files with Elastic Agent.
The simplest input configuration to ingest the file
/var/log/my-application/log-file.log is:
|
The input type must be |
|
|
A unique ID for the input. |
|
|
An array containing all log file paths. |
For other custom options to configure the input, refer to the filestream input in the Filebeat documentation.
