Details

account_id

edit
  • This is a required setting.
  • Value type is string
  • There is no default value for this setting.

This output lets you send metrics, annotations and alerts to Librato based on Logstash events

This is VERY experimental and inefficient right now. Your Librato account usually an email address

annotation

edit
  • Value type is hash
  • Default value is {}

Annotations Registers an annotation with Librato The only required field is title and name. start_time and end_time will be set to event["@timestamp"].to_i You can add any other optional annotation values as well. All values will be passed through event.sprintf

Example:

  {
      "title" => "Logstash event on %{host}"
      "name" => "logstash_stream"
  }
or
[source,ruby]
   {
      "title" => "Logstash event"
      "description" => "%{message}"
      "name" => "logstash_stream"
   }

api_token

edit
  • This is a required setting.
  • Value type is string
  • There is no default value for this setting.

batch_size

edit
  • Value type is string
  • Default value is "10"

Batch size Number of events to batch up before sending to Librato.

codec

edit
  • Value type is codec
  • Default value is "plain"

The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

counter

edit
  • Value type is hash
  • Default value is {}

Counters Send data to Librato as a counter

Example:

    {
        "value" => "1"
        "source" => "%{host}"
        "name" => "messages_received"
    }

Additionally, you can override the measure_time for the event. Must be a unix timestamp:

    {
        "value" => "1"
        "source" => "%{host}"
        "name" => "messages_received"
        "measure_time" => "%{my_unixtime_field}"
    }
Default is to use the event's timestamp

exclude_tags (DEPRECATED)

edit
  • DEPRECATED WARNING: This configuration item is deprecated and may not be available in future versions.
  • Value type is array
  • Default value is []

Only handle events without any of these tags. Optional.

gauge

  • Default value is {}

Gauges Send data to Librato as a gauge

Example:

    {
        "value" => "%{bytes_received}"

        "name" => "apache_bytes"
    }
Additionally, you can override the `measure_time` for the event. Must be a unix timestamp:
[source,ruby]
    {
        "value" => "%{bytes_received}"
        "source" => "%{host}"
        "name" => "apache_bytes"
        "measure_time" => "%{my_unixtime_field}
    }
