Json_lines codec plugin
editJson_lines codec plugin
edit- Plugin version: v3.0.6
- Released on: 2018-03-22
- Changelog
For other versions, see the Versioned plugin docs.
Installation
editFor plugins not bundled by default, it is easy to install by running bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-codec-json_lines
. See Working with plugins for more details.
Getting Help
editFor questions about the plugin, open a topic in the Discuss forums. For bugs or feature requests, open an issue in Github. For the list of Elastic supported plugins, please consult the Elastic Support Matrix.
Description
editThis codec will decode streamed JSON that is newline delimited.
Encoding will emit a single JSON string ending in a @delimiter
NOTE: Do not use this codec if your source input is line-oriented JSON, for
example, redis or file inputs. Rather, use the json codec.
More info: This codec is expecting to receive a stream (string) of newline
terminated lines. The file input will produce a line string without a newline.
Therefore this codec cannot work with line oriented inputs.

Default value is
"UTF-8"
The character encoding used in this codec. Examples include UTF-8
and
CP1252
JSON requires valid UTF-8
strings, but in some cases, software that
emits JSON does so in another encoding (nxlog, for example). In
weird cases like this, you can set the charset setting to the
actual encoding of the text and logstash will convert it for you.
For nxlog users, you’ll want to set this to CP1252
