Details

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.

exclude_metrics

edit
  • Value type is array
  • Default value is ["%{[^}]+}"]

Exclude regex matched metric names, by default exclude unresolved %{field} strings

fields_are_metrics

edit
  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is false

Indicate that the event @fields should be treated as metrics and will be sent as is to graphite

  • 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"
 }
}

include_metrics

edit
  • Value type is array
  • Default value is [".*"]

Include only regex matched metric names

metrics

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

The metric(s) to use. This supports dynamic strings like %{host} for metric names and also for values. This is a hash field with key of the metric name, value of the metric value. Example:

    [ "%{host}/uptime", "%{uptime_1m}" ]

The value will be coerced to a floating point value. Values which cannot be coerced will zero (0)

metrics_format

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

Defines format of the metric string. The placeholder * will be replaced with the name of the actual metric.

    metrics_format => "foo.bar.*.sum"

If no metrics_format is defined the name of the metric will be used as fallback.
