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!
