Details

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"}

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 "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.

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 true

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

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.

exchange

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

The name of the exchange

exchange_type

edit
  • This is a required setting.
  • Value can be any of: fanout, direct, topic, x-consistent-hash, x-modulus-hash
  • There is no default value for this setting.

The exchange type (fanout, topic, direct)

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.

Common functionality for the rabbitmq input/output RabbitMQ server address(es) host can either be a single host, or a list of hosts i.e. host ⇒ "localhost" or host ⇒ ["host01", "host02]

if multiple hosts are provided on the initial connection and any subsequent recovery attempts of the hosts is chosen at random and connected to. Note that only one host connection is active at a time.

  • 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"
 }
}

key

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

The default codec for this plugin is JSON. You can override this to suit your particular needs however. Key to route to by default. Defaults to logstash

  • Routing keys are ignored on fanout exchanges.

passive

edit
  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is false

Passive queue creation? Useful for checking queue existance without modifying server state

password

edit
  • Value type is password
  • Default value is "guest"

RabbitMQ password

persistent

edit
  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is true

Should RabbitMQ persist messages to disk?

port

edit
  • Value type is number
  • Default value is 5672

RabbitMQ port to connect on

ssl

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