Logstash Input Plugin

This plugin gathers metrics from a Logstash endpoint using the Monitoring API.

This plugin supports Logstash 5+.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.12.0 Tags: server OS support: all

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Read metrics exposed by Logstash
[[inputs.logstash]]
  ## The URL of the exposed Logstash API endpoint.
  url = "http://127.0.0.1:9600"

  ## Use Logstash 5 single pipeline API, set to true when monitoring
  ## Logstash 5.
  # single_pipeline = false

  ## Enable optional collection components.  Can contain
  ## "pipelines", "process", and "jvm".
  # collect = ["pipelines", "process", "jvm"]

  ## Timeout for HTTP requests.
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## Optional HTTP Basic Auth credentials.
  # username = "username"
  # password = "pa$$word"

  ## Optional TLS Config.
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"

  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification.
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

  ## If 'use_system_proxy' is set to true, Telegraf will check env vars such as
  ## HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY (or their lowercase counterparts).
  ## If 'use_system_proxy' is set to false (default) and 'http_proxy_url' is
  ## provided, Telegraf will use the specified URL as HTTP proxy.
  # use_system_proxy = false
  # http_proxy_url = "http://localhost:8888"

  ## Optional HTTP headers.
  # [inputs.logstash.headers]
  #   "X-Special-Header" = "Special-Value"
