Http_poller input plugin

Username to use with HTTP authentication for ALL requests. Note that you can also set this per-URL. If you set this you must also set the password option.

Password to be used in conjunction with the username for HTTP authentication.

How many times should the client retry a failing URL. We highly recommend NOT setting this value to zero if keepalive is enabled. Some servers incorrectly end keepalives early requiring a retry! Note: if retry_non_idempotent is set only GET, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, and TRACE requests will be retried.

If you need to use a custom X.509 CA (.pem certs) specify the path to that here

If you’d like to use a client certificate (note, most people don’t want this) set the path to the x509 cert here

If you’re using a client certificate specify the path to the encryption key here

Timeout (in seconds) to wait for a connection to be established. Default is 10s

Enable cookie support. With this enabled the client will persist cookies across requests as a normal web browser would. Enabled by default

Should redirects be followed? Defaults to true

How often (in seconds) the urls will be called DEPRECATED. Use schedule option instead. If both interval and schedule options are specified, interval option takes higher precedence

Turn this on to enable HTTP keepalive support. We highly recommend setting automatic_retries to at least one with this to fix interactions with broken keepalive implementations.

If you need to use a custom keystore (.jks) specify that here. This does not work with .pem keys!

Specify the keystore password here. Note, most .jks files created with keytool require a password!

Specify the keystore type here. One of JKS or PKCS12. Default is JKS

If you’d like to work with the request/response metadata. Set this value to the name of the field you’d like to store a nested hash of metadata.

Max number of concurrent connections. Defaults to 50

Max number of concurrent connections to a single host. Defaults to 25

If you’d like to use an HTTP proxy . This supports multiple configuration syntaxes:

This module makes it easy to add a very fully configured HTTP client to logstash based on [Manticore](https://github.com/cheald/manticore). For an example of its usage see https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-http_poller Timeout (in seconds) for the entire request

If automatic_retries is enabled this will cause non-idempotent HTTP verbs (such as POST) to be retried.

Schedule of when to periodically poll from the urls Format: A hash with + key: "cron" | "every" | "in" | "at" + value: string Examples: a) { "every" ⇒ "1h" } b) { "cron" ⇒ "* * * * * UTC" } See: rufus/scheduler for details about different schedule options and value string format

Timeout (in seconds) to wait for data on the socket. Default is 10s

Set this to false to disable SSL/TLS certificate validation Note: setting this to false is generally considered insecure!

Define the target field for placing the received data. If this setting is omitted, the data will be stored at the root (top level) of the event.

If you need to use a custom truststore (.jks) specify that here. This does not work with .pem certs!

Specify the truststore password here. Note, most .jks files created with keytool require a password!

Specify the truststore type here. One of JKS or PKCS12. Default is JKS

A Hash of urls in this format : "name" => "url". The name and the url will be passed in the outputed event

How long to wait before checking if the connection is stale before executing a request on a connection using keepalive. # You may want to set this lower, possibly to 0 if you get connection errors regularly Quoting the Apache commons docs (this client is based Apache Commmons): Defines period of inactivity in milliseconds after which persistent connections must be re-validated prior to being leased to the consumer. Non-positive value passed to this method disables connection validation. This check helps detect connections that have become stale (half-closed) while kept inactive in the pool. See these docs for more info

Add a field to an event

The codec used for input data. Input codecs are a convenient method for decoding your data before it enters the input, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

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.

Add a unique ID to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one. It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful when you have two or more plugins of the same type, for example, if you have 2 grok filters. Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.

output {
 stdout {
   id => "my_plugin_id"
 }
}

Add any number of arbitrary tags to your event.

This can help with processing later.

This is the base class for Logstash inputs. Add a type field to all events handled by this input.

Types are used mainly for filter activation.

The type is stored as part of the event itself, so you can also use the type to search for it in Kibana.

If you try to set a type on an event that already has one (for example when you send an event from a shipper to an indexer) then a new input will not override the existing type. A type set at the shipper stays with that event for its life even when sent to another Logstash server.
