Details

edit

`channels`

edit

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

Channels to broadcast to.

These should be full channel names including the # symbol, such as "#logstash".

`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.

`enable_metric`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is true

Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance by default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.

`format`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is "%{message}"

Message format to send, event tokens are usable here

`host`

edit

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

Address of the host to connect to

`id`

edit

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

Add a unique ID to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one. It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful when you have two or more plugins of the same type, for example, if you have 2 grok filters. Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.

output {
 stdout {
   id => "my_plugin_id"
 }
}
