The character encoding used in this input. Examples include UTF-8
and cp1252
This setting is useful if your log files are in Latin-1 (aka cp1252)
or in another character set other than UTF-8.
This only affects plain format logs since json is UTF-8 already.
codec
edit- Value type is codec
-
Default value is
"plain"
The codec used for input data. Input codecs are a convenient method for decoding your data before it enters the input, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.
debug (DEPRECATED)
edit- DEPRECATED WARNING: This configuration item is deprecated and may not be available in future versions.
- Value type is boolean
-
Default value is
false
format (DEPRECATED)
edit- DEPRECATED WARNING: This configuration item is deprecated and may not be available in future versions.
-
Value can be any of:
plain,json,json_event,msgpack_event - There is no default value for this setting.
The format of input data (plain, json, json_event)
get_stats
edit- Value type is boolean
-
Default value is
false
Gather and send user counts for channels - this requires catch_all and will force it
host
edit- This is a required setting.
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
Host of the IRC Server to connect to.
message_format (DEPRECATED)
edit- DEPRECATED WARNING: This configuration item is deprecated and may not be available in future versions.
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
If format is json, an event sprintf string to build what
the display @message should be given (defaults to the raw JSON).
sprintf format strings look like %{fieldname}
If format is json_event, ALL fields except for @type
are expected to be present. Not receiving all fields
will cause unexpected results.
stats_interval
edit- Value type is number
-
Default value is
5
How often in minutes to get the user count stats
tags
edit- Value type is array
- There is no default value for this setting.
Add any number of arbitrary tags to your event.
This can help with processing later.
type
edit- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
Add a type field to all events handled by this input.
Types are used mainly for filter activation.
The type is stored as part of the event itself, so you can also use the type to search for it in Kibana.
If you try to set a type on an event that already has one (for example when you send an event from a shipper to an indexer) then a new input will not override the existing type. A type set at the shipper stays with that event for its life even when sent to another Logstash server.
