jsonedit

  • Version: 3.0.2
  • Released on: 2016-07-14
  • Changelog
  • Compatible: 5.1.1.1, 5.0.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.0, 2.3.4

This codec may be used to decode (via inputs) and encode (via outputs) full JSON messages. If the data being sent is a JSON array at its root multiple events will be created (one per element).

If you are streaming JSON messages delimited by \n then see the json_lines codec.

Encoding will result in a compact JSON representation (no line terminators or indentation)

If this codec recieves a payload from an input that is not valid JSON, then it will fall back to plain text and add a tag _jsonparsefailure. Upon a JSON failure, the payload will be stored in the message field.

  • Default value is "UTF-8"

The character encoding used in this codec. Examples include "UTF-8" and "CP1252".

JSON requires valid UTF-8 strings, but in some cases, software that emits JSON does so in another encoding (nxlog, for example). In weird cases like this, you can set the charset setting to the actual encoding of the text and Logstash will convert it for you.

For nxlog users, you may to set this to "CP1252".

enable_metricedit

  • 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.

idedit

  • 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.
