Overview of Logstash plugins


Logstash has a rich collection of input, filter, codec, and output plugins. Plugins are available as self-contained packages called gems and hosted on RubyGems.org. By default, as part of the Logstash distribution many common plugins are available out of the box. One can verify the list of plugins that are part of the current installation by executing the following command:

D:\packt\logstash-6.0.0\bin>logstash-plugin list

D:\packt\logstash-6.0.0\bin>logstash-plugin list --group filter

D:\packt\logstash-6.0.0\bin>logstash-plugin list 'pager'
