Details

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.

collection

edit
  • This is a required setting.
  • Value type is string
  • There is no default value for this setting.

The collection to use. This value can use %{foo} values to dynamically select a collection based on data in the event.

database

edit
  • This is a required setting.
  • Value type is string
  • There is no default value for this setting.

The database to use

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.

generateId

edit
  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is false

If true, an "_id" field will be added to the document before insertion. The "_id" field will use the timestamp of the event and overwrite an existing "_id" field in the event.

  • Value type is string
  • There is no default value for this setting.

Add a unique ID to the plugin instance, this ID is used for tracking information for a specific configuration of the plugin.

output {
 stdout {
   id => "ABC"
 }
}

If you don’t explicitely set this variable Logstash will generate a unique name.

isodate

edit
  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is false

If true, store the @timestamp field in mongodb as an ISODate type instead of an ISO8601 string. For more information about this, see http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Dates

edit
  • Value type is number
  • Default value is 3

Number of seconds to wait after failure before retrying
