Description
editThe Logstash Integration Plugin provides integrated plugins for sending events from one Logstash to another:
High-level concepts
editYou can configure a logstash output to send events to a logstash input in another pipeline that is running in a different process or on a different host.
To do so, you should first configure the downstream pipeline with a logstash input plugin, bound to an available port so that it can listen for inbound connections.
Security is enabled by default, so you will need to either provide identity material or disable SSL.
You will need a TCP route from the upstream pipeline to the interface that the downstream pipeline is bound to.
input {
logstash {
port => 9800
# SSL IDENTITY
ssl_keystore_path => "/path/to/identity.p12"
ssl_keystore_password => "${SSL_IDENTITY_PASSWORD}"
}
}
|
Identity material typically should include identity claims about the hostnames and ip addresses that will be used by upstream output plugins. |
Once the downstream pipeline is configured and running, you may send events from any number of upstream pipelines by adding a logstash output plugin that points to the downstream input.
You may need to configure SSL to trust the certificates presented by the downstream input plugin.
Single host endpoint is supported for hosts. Multi-host support is coming soon.
output {
logstash {
hosts => "10.0.0.123:9800"
# SSL TRUST
ssl_truststore_path => "/path/to/truststore.p12"
ssl_truststore_password => "${SSL_TRUST_PASSWORD}"
}
}
