About the Logstash plugins

[bennspectrum]

Dear all,

Is it any way to install all the NLS version 1.4.1 Logstash plugins. I want to install all the Logstash plugins of NLS supports once and for all.

Thanks a lot.

What are you looking for the plugins to do? We've included the ones for a lot of the things you will need. Anything not included has not been tested by us and can not officially be supported. Is there functionality missing you're looking for?

Once you go off the beaten path provided by Nagios, you are on your own. Having said that, you can install any plugin you'd like, as you have complete access to logstash on the filesystem. We installed the IMAP input, for instance, because we wanted to look at email in our support mailbox.

I would caution against installing everything; only install what you need and are willing to configure.

And congratulations, @hsmith, for getting here before me.

@bennspectrum - let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks you all,

I want to use the input plugin http_poller in https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstas ... oller.html, but NLS tell me

Couldn't find any input plugin named 'http_poller'.

the screenshot shown as following,



How could I do?

You can't just use the input filter without the plugin installed. Since this is likely beyond the scope of Nagios's support, and you'll end up with an unsupported installation, you'll want to read https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstas ... ugins.html

@eloyd is correct here, you will need to install that new plugin but I would exercise caution in doing so since, as has been mentioned, we have not tested all plugins to make sure they will be stable. This is "at your own risk" territory.
