httpedit

  • Version: 3.0.3
  • Released on: 2016-07-14
  • Changelog
  • Compatible: 5.1.1.1, 5.0.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.0, 2.3.4

We keep the redefined method in a new http server class, this is because in other parts of logstash we might be using puma as webserver, for example in the sinatra part we need this method to actually return the REQUEST_PATH, so it can actually infer the right resource to use. Fixes https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-http/issues/51

  • Value type is hash
  • Default value is {}

Add a field to an event

additional_codecsedit

  • Value type is hash
  • Default value is {"application/json"=>"json"}

Apply specific codecs for specific content types. The default codec will be applied only after this list is checked and no codec for the request’s content-type is found

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.

Codec used to decode the incoming data. This codec will be used as a fall-back if the content-type is not found in the "additional_codecs" hash The host or ip to bind

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.

 stdout {
   id => "ABC"

}

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

The TCP port to bind to

response_headersedit

  • Default value is {"Content-Type"=>"text/plain"}

specify a custom set of response headers

SSL Configurations

tagsedit

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

Add any number of arbitrary tags to your event.

threadsedit

  • Value type is number
  • Default value is 4

Maximum number of threads to use

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.

useredit

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

Username for basic authorization

verify_modeedit

  • Value can be any of: none, peer, force_peer
  • Default value is "none"
