Logstash: Data Ingestion and Processing
Master Logstash for collecting, parsing, and transforming data from various sources. Explore common filters and outputs for robust data pipelines.
Logstash: The Data Pipeline
Welcome to Logstash! In the ELK Stack, Logstash is your powerful, open-source data processing pipeline.
It's designed to ingest data from various sources, transform it, and then send it to various destinations, most commonly Elasticsearch.
Logstash's Core Architecture
Logstash operates on a simple, yet powerful, pipeline concept:
- Inputs: Where data enters Logstash.
- Filters: Where data is processed and transformed.
- Outputs: Where processed data is sent.
Think of it as an assembly line for your logs!
