Descriptionedit

This output lets you index&store your logs in Solr. If you want to get started quickly you should use version 4.4 or above in schemaless mode, which will try and guess your fields automatically. To turn that on, you can use the example included in the Solr archive:

    tar zxf solr-4.4.0.tgz
    cd example
    mv solr solr_ #back up the existing sample conf
    cp -r example-schemaless/solr/ .  #put the schemaless conf in place
    java -jar start.jar   #start Solr

You can learn more at the Solr home page

idle_flush_timeedit

Common Optionsedit

The following configuration options are supported by all output plugins:

Setting Input type Required

enable_metric

boolean

No

id

string

No

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 configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one. It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful when you have two or more plugins of the same type. For example, if you have 2 solr_http outputs. Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.

output {
  solr_http {
    id => "my_plugin_id"
  }
}

Variable substitution in the id field only supports environment variables and does not support the use of values from the secret store.
