rabbitmq

Pull events from a RabbitMQ queue.

The default settings will create an entirely transient queue and listen for all messages by default. If you need durability or any other advanced settings, please set the appropriate options

This plugin uses the March Hare library for interacting with the RabbitMQ server. Most configuration options map directly to standard RabbitMQ and AMQP concepts. The AMQP 0-9-1 reference guide and other parts of the RabbitMQ documentation are useful for deeper understanding.

The properties of messages received will be stored in the [@metadata][rabbitmq_properties] field if the @metadata_enabled setting is checked. Note that storing metadata may degrade performance. The following properties may be available (in most cases dependent on whether they were set by the sender):

app-id
cluster-id
consumer-tag
content-encoding
content-type
correlation-id
delivery-mode
exchange
expiration
message-id
priority
redeliver
reply-to
routing-key
timestamp
type
user-id

For example, to get the RabbitMQ message’s timestamp property into the Logstash event’s @timestamp field, use the date filter to parse the [@metadata][rabbitmq_properties][timestamp] field:

   filter {
     if [@metadata][rabbitmq_properties][timestamp] {
       date {
         match => ["[@metadata][rabbitmq_properties][timestamp]", "UNIX"]
       }
     }
   }

Additionally, any message headers will be saved in the [@metadata][rabbitmq_headers] field.

Details

edit

`ack`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is true

Enable message acknowledgements. With acknowledgements messages fetched by Logstash but not yet sent into the Logstash pipeline will be requeued by the server if Logstash shuts down. Acknowledgements will however hurt the message throughput.

This will only send an ack back every prefetch_count messages. Working in batches provides a performance boost here.

`add_field`

edit

Value type is hash
Default value is {}

Add a field to an event

`arguments`

edit

Value type is array
Default value is {}

Extra queue arguments as an array. To make a RabbitMQ queue mirrored, use: {"x-ha-policy" => "all"}

`auto_delete`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

Should the queue be deleted on the broker when the last consumer disconnects? Set this option to false if you want the queue to remain on the broker, queueing up messages until a consumer comes along to consume them.

`automatic_recovery`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is true

Set this to automatically recover from a broken connection. You almost certainly don’t want to override this!!!

`codec`

edit

Value type is codec
Default value is "json"

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.

`connect_retry_interval`

edit

Value type is number
Default value is 1

Time in seconds to wait before retrying a connection

`connection_timeout`

edit

Value type is number
There is no default value for this setting.

The default connection timeout in milliseconds. If not specified the timeout is infinite.

`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

Enable or disable logging

`durable`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

Is this queue durable? (aka; Should it survive a broker restart?)

`exchange`

edit

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

The name of the exchange to bind the queue to.

`exclusive`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

Is the queue exclusive? Exclusive queues can only be used by the connection that declared them and will be deleted when it is closed (e.g. due to a Logstash restart).

`heartbeat`

edit

Value type is number
There is no default value for this setting.

Heartbeat delay in seconds. If unspecified no heartbeats will be sent

`host`

edit

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

RabbitMQ server address

`key`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is "logstash"

The routing key to use when binding a queue to the exchange. This is only relevant for direct or topic exchanges.

Routing keys are ignored on fanout exchanges.
Wildcards are not valid on direct exchanges.

`metadata_enabled`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

Enable the storage of message headers and properties in @metadata. This may impact performance

`passive`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

If true the queue will be passively declared, meaning it must already exist on the server. To have Logstash create the queue if necessary leave this option as false. If actively declaring a queue that already exists, the queue options for this plugin (durable etc) must match those of the existing queue.

`password`

edit

Value type is password
Default value is "guest"

RabbitMQ password

`port`

edit

Value type is number
Default value is 5672

RabbitMQ port to connect on

`prefetch_count`

edit

Value type is number
Default value is 256

Prefetch count. If acknowledgements are enabled with the ack option, specifies the number of outstanding unacknowledged

`queue`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is ""

The name of the queue Logstash will consume events from. If left empty, a transient queue with an randomly chosen name will be created.

`ssl`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

Enable or disable SSL

`subscription_retry_interval_seconds`

edit

This is a required setting.
Value type is number
Default value is 5

Amount of time in seconds to wait after a failed subscription request before retrying. Subscribes can fail if the server goes away and then comes back

`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.

`threads`

edit

Value type is number
Default value is 1

`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.

`user`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is "guest"

RabbitMQ username

`verify_ssl`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

Validate SSL certificate

`vhost`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is "/"

The vhost to use. If you don’t know what this is, leave the default.
