NXLog with Logstash using custom TAGS

#1 NXlog_monitoring 6 years ago

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?

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 for examples on Logstash config.

Example nxlog.conf :

<Input file>
    Module      im_file
    File        "/var/log/*.log"
</Input>
<Output out>
    Module  om_tcp
    Host    10.1.1.1
    Port    3515
    Exec    to_json();
</Output>
