Supported Docker and Linux Kernel versions:
ECE requires Docker version 1.11. While it may work with other Docker versions, it is known to break with certain combinations of Docker and kernel version, and has not been thoroughly
tested with any Docker version other than 1.11.
ECE requires Linux kernel version 3.10 or higher.
ECE requires kernel memory accounting to be disabled for all memory cgroups. Disable it by passing `cgroup.memory=nokmem` to the kernel at boot time.
**Zip/tar.gz archives only. RPM installation is not supported on SLES 11.

Supported Logstash Plugins

The plugins listed below are maintained and supported by Elastic. Plugin versions that are installable on an Elastic supported Logstash release are considered supported.

The full list of all plugins in the Logstash ecosystem can be found in the product documentation:

• Input plugins
• Codec plugins
• Filter plugins
• Output plugins

Tier 1 Plugins

Definition: These incorporate Logstash plugins that Elastic have published directly and plugins that Elastic has a high degree of experience with. Elastic will provide support to new Support Requests at point of entry for all Severity Levels (1 through 3) but retain the right to downgrade Support Requests to Severity 3 should the root cause be isolated to an external system, service, or library.

Input Plugins beats elasticsearch file generator heartbeat http http_poller jdbc kafka rabbitmq redis s3 stdin syslog tcp udp

Codec plugins avro cef es_bulk json json_lines line multiline plain rubydebug

Filter plugins csv date dissect dns drop elasticsearch fingerprint geoip grok jdbc_static jdbc_streaming json kv mutate ruby sleep split syslog_pri translate truncate urldecode useragent uuid xml

Output plugins elasticsearch email file http kafka rabbitmq redis s3 stdout tcp udp

Tier 2 Plugins

Definition: These incorporate Logstash plugins where Elastic has a more limited focus, such that Elastic's ability to effect a solution could be impaired. Elastic will provide support under Severity 3 only.

Input Plugins couchdb_changes gelf graphite sqs twitter
