NXLog with Logstash using custom TAGS

Tags: nxlog | Filebeat | logstash | TAG
#1 NXlog_monitoring

Hi, I'm trying to send messages from NXLog into Logstash with a custom TAG. Logstash would filter those messages and then send them into specific topics in Kafka. For example my current Logstash + Filebeats works like that:

filebeat.yml has:

paths: - /var/log/*.log

tags: ["EXAMPLE_1"]

Logstash.yml has :

output { if "EXAMPLE_1" in [tags]{ kafka { bootstrap_servers => "example_dns:9092" topic_id => "example_1_topic_kafka" } } }

Is it possible to recreate such simple config with NXLog?

Please check out [the manual](https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide#elasticsearch_logstash) for examples on Logstash config. Example nxlog.conf : Module im_file File "/var/log/*.log" Module om_tcp Host 10.1.1.1 Port 3515 Exec to_json();
