Tailing Logstash?

0xgeert opened this issue · comments

I've got a Logging setup going that pumps data to Logstash -> Elasticsearch -> Kibana.

Instead of having to connect Logster to the raw log sources, it would imho make sense/be great (?) to be able to tail Logstash instead.

Has someone attempted this, or am I completely missing the point?

Hey!

Logstash itself offers some similar capabilities to logster in its output configuration: http://logstash.net/docs/1.4.2/

If that lets you achieve your desired outcome, I'd suggest that would be a more sensible approach.

Ahh great. Looking into that cheers!
