Logstash moduleedit

The logstash module collects metrics about Logstash.

Compatibilityedit

The logstash module works with Logstash 7.3.0 and later.

Usage for Stack Monitoringedit

The logstash module can be used to collect metrics shown in our Stack Monitoring UI in Kibana. To enable this usage, set xpack.enabled: true and remove any metricsets from the module’s configuration. Alternatively, run metricbeat modules disable logstash and metricbeat modules enable logstash-xpack.

When this module is used for Elastic Stack Monitoring, it sends metrics to the monitoring index instead of the default index typically used by Metricbeat. For more details about the monitoring index, see Configuring indices for monitoring.

Example configurationedit

The Logstash module supports the standard configuration options that are described in Modules. Here is an example configuration:

metricbeat.modules:
- module: logstash
  metricsets: ["node", "node_stats"]
  enabled: true
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["localhost:9600"]

This module supports TLS connections when using ssl config field, as described in SSL. It also supports the options described in Standard HTTP config options.
