Moonshine Logstash and Grok¶ ↑

---

logstash is a tool for managing events and logs. You can use it to collect logs, parse them, and store them for later use (like, for searching). Speaking of searching, logstash comes with a web interface for searching and drilling into all of your logs.

It is fully free and fully open source. The license is Apache 2.0, meaning you are pretty much free to use it however you want in whatever way.

A plugin for Moonshine¶ ↑

This Moonshine plugin allows you to easily integrate Logstash into your server ecosystem. This is intended to be used with redis as the transport.

This plugin uses openjdk-6-jdk as the java base. You can specify your java package by using :logstash:

:java_runtime:
  - openjdk-6-jdk
:config:
  :redis_password: password
  :redis_username: username
  :redis_host server_name_or_ip
  :redis_key: my_key
  :log_path: #this will take an array if you don't want to use wildcdards
   - /home/rails/apps/*/current/log/*.log
  :redis_debug: false

Make sure you include

• recipe :redis Redis
