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.

host

edit
  • Value type is string
  • Default value is "localhost"

The address of the opentsdb server.

  • 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.

metrics

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

The metric(s) to use. This supports dynamic strings like %{source_host} for metric names and also for values. This is an array field with key of the metric name, value of the metric value, and multiple tag,values . Example:

    [
      "%{host}/uptime",
      %{uptime_1m} " ,
      "hostname" ,
      "%{host}
      "anotherhostname" ,
      "%{host}
    ]

The value will be coerced to a floating point value. Values which cannot be coerced will zero (0)

port

edit
  • Value type is number
  • Default value is 4242

The port to connect on your graphite server.

workers

edit
  • Value type is string
  • Default value is 1

TODO remove this in Logstash 6.0 when we no longer support the :legacy type This is hacky, but it can only be herne
