relpedit

This is a community-maintained plugin! It does not ship with Logstash by default, but it is easy to install by running bin/plugin install logstash-input-relp.

Read RELP events over a TCP socket.

For more information about RELP, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imrelp.html

This protocol implements application-level acknowledgements to help protect against message loss.

Message acks only function as far as messages being put into the queue for filters; anything lost after that point will not be retransmitted

Detailsedit

 

add_fieldedit

  • Value type is hash
  • Default value is {}

Add a field to an event

codecedit

  • Value type is codec
  • Default value is "plain"

The codec used for input data. Input codecs are a convenient method for decoding your data before it enters the input, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

hostedit

  • Value type is string
  • Default value is "0.0.0.0"

The address to listen on.

portedit

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

The port to listen on.

ssl_cacertedit

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

The SSL CA certificate, chainfile or CA path. The system CA path is automatically included.

ssl_certedit

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

SSL certificate path

ssl_enableedit

  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is false

Enable SSL (must be set for other ssl_ options to take effect).

ssl_keyedit

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

SSL key path

ssl_key_passphraseedit

  • Value type is password
  • Default value is nil

SSL key passphrase

ssl_verifyedit

  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is true

Verify the identity of the other end of the SSL connection against the CA. For input, sets the field sslsubject to that of the client certificate.

tagsedit

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

Add any number of arbitrary tags to your event.

This can help with processing later.

typeedit

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

Add a type field to all events handled by this input.

Types are used mainly for filter activation.

The type is stored as part of the event itself, so you can also use the type to search for it in Kibana.

If you try to set a type on an event that already has one (for example when you send an event from a shipper to an indexer) then a new input will not override the existing type. A type set at the shipper stays with that event for its life even when sent to another Logstash server.
