Java_sink output plugin
editJava_sink output plugin
editLogstash Core Plugin. The java_sink output plugin cannot be installed or uninstalled independently of Logstash.
Getting Help
editFor questions about the plugin, open a topic in the Discuss forums. For bugs or feature requests, open an issue in Github.
Description
editAn event sink that discards any events received. Generally useful for testing the performance of inputs and filters.
Java_sink Output Configuration Options
editThere are no special configuration options for this plugin, but it does support the Common Options.
Common Options
editThe following configuration options are supported by all output plugins:
codec
edit- Value type is codec
-
Default value is
"plain"
The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.
enable_metric
edit- Value type is boolean
-
Default value is
true
Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance. By default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.
id
edit- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
Add a unique ID
to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one.
It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful
when you have two or more plugins of the same type. For example, if you have 2 java_sink outputs.
Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.
output { java_sink { id => "my_plugin_id" } }
