Outputting Events from Logstash
In the previous chapters we've seen some of the output plugins available in Logstash: for example Syslog and ElasticSearch. But in our project we've primarily focussed on moving events from agents to our central server and from our central server to ElasticSearch. Now, at this stage of the project, we want to start using some of the other available output plugins to send events or generate actions from events. We've identified a list of the top outputs we need to create:
- Send alerts for events via email.
- Send alerts for events via instant messaging.
- Send alerts through to a monitoring system.
- Collect and deliver metrics through a metrics engine.
Let's get started with developing our first output.
