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.

collection

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

The collection to use. This value can use %{foo} values to dynamically select a collection based on data in the event.

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

edit
  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is false

If true, store the @timestamp field in mongodb as an ISODate type instead of an ISO8601 string. For more information about this, see http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Dates

edit
  • Value type is number
  • Default value is 3
