An IntelliJ plugin to ship logs to LogStash

Logshipper

A plugin for JetBrains IDEs to ship logs to a remote logstash service.

This plugin adds a custom java.util.logging Handler to the root Logger of IntelliJ, allowing all logs to be shipped to a logstash server.

Configuration

Users are able to configure the logstash:

• hostname
• port
• reconnect delay

Additionally, users are able to:

• include location information from the LogRecord.
• generate sample log messages for testing / debugging purposes.
  • Note: this may fill up your log, as the test log messages happen once every 2 seconds.

Demo

For ease, this repo also includes the necessary docker-compose files to setup the ELK stack.

Use the ./elk_stack.sh bash script to init / start / stop / restart / status / purge ELK stack.
