Adding New Logstash plugins

Post by pmisur »

Hello,

What is Nagios' position on adding new Logstash plugins to the system?
I currently have a need to consume Azure Event-Hub messages. I see there is now a logstash plugin which allows this: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstas ... _hubs.html.

I am concerned that the version of logstash which ships with NLS may not support it but I will need to test further.

Or is there another method that Nagios Log Server can use to consume Azure Event-Hub Messages?

Thanks,
Pat Misur

We'll support the plugins found in the list at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstas ... ugins.html and while you can import other third party plugins, our ability to support those is limited and untested. The version of Logstash on NLS is 2.4 and unfortunately the plugin you've found is not available on this version.

I don't have an Azure environment to test with but if you're able to export the logs to another system, you should be able to use syslog or nxlog to send the logs to the default inputs of NLS.
