editThis is a community-maintained plugin! It does not ship with Logstash by default, but it is easy to install by running bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-input-salesforce
.
This Logstash input plugin allows you to query Salesforce using SOQL and puts the results into Logstash, one row per event. You can configure it to pull entire sObjects or only specific fields.
This input plugin will stop after all the results of the query are processed and will need to be re-run to fetch new results. It does not utilize the streaming API.
In order to use this plugin, you will need to create a new SFDC Application using oauth. More details can be found here: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=connected_app_create.htm
You will also need a username, password, and security token for your salesforce instance. More details for generating a token can be found here: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=user_security_token.htm
In addition to specifying an sObject, you can also supply a list of API fields that will be used in the SOQL query.
Example
editThis example prints all the Salesforce Opportunities to standard out
input { salesforce { client_id => 'OAUTH CLIENT ID FROM YOUR SFDC APP' client_secret => 'OAUTH CLIENT SECRET FROM YOUR SFDC APP' username => 'email@example.com' password => 'super-secret' security_token => 'SECURITY TOKEN FOR THIS USER' sfdc_object_name => 'Opportunity' } } output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } }

The password used to login to sfdc
security_token

sfdc_filters
edit- Value type is string
-

These options will be added to the WHERE clause in the SOQL statement. Additional fields can be filtered on by adding field1 = value1 AND field2 = value2 AND…
sfdc_object_name
edit- This is a required setting.
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
The name of the salesforce object you are creating or updating
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.
to_underscores
edit- Value type is boolean
-
Default value is
false
Setting this to true will convert SFDC’s NamedFieldsc to named_fieldsc
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.
