editHere are the breaking changes for 6.0.
Changes in Logstash Core
editThese changes can affect any instance of Logstash that uses impacted features. Changes to Logstash Core are plugin agnostic.
Application Settings
edit-
The setting
config.reload.interval
has been changed to use time value strings such as5m
,10s
etc. Previously, users had to convert this to a millisecond time value themselves. Note that the unit qualifier (s
) is required.
RPM/Deb package changes
edit-
For
rpm
anddeb
release artifacts, config files that match the*.conf
glob pattern must be in the conf.d folder, or the files will not be loaded.
Command Line Interface behavior
edit-
The
-e
and-f
CLI options are now mutually exclusive. This also applies to the corresponding long form optionsconfig.string
andpath.config
. This means any configurations provided via-e
will no longer be appended to the configurations provided via-f
. -
Configurations provided with
-f
orconfig.path
will not be appended withstdin
input andstdout
output automatically.
