Details

`codec`

The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

Command line to launch and pipe to

`enable_metric`

Default value is true

Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance by default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.

`id`

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

Add a unique ID to the plugin instance, this ID is used for tracking information for a specific configuration of the plugin.

   id => "ABC"
 }
}

If you don’t explicitely set this variable Logstash will generate a unique name.

`message_format`

edit

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

The format to use when writing events to the pipe. This value supports any string and can include %{name} and other dynamic strings.

If this setting is omitted, the full json representation of the event will be written as a single line.
