This codec reads and produces MessagePack encoded content.

Msgpack Codec configuration options

edit

Setting	Input type	Required
`format`	string	No
`target`	string	No

`format`

edit

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

`target`

edit

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

Define the target field for placing the decoded values. If this setting is not set, data will be stored at the root (top level) of the event.

For example, if you want data to be put under the document field:

    input {
      tcp {
        port => 4242
        codec => msgpack {
          target => "[document]"
        }
      }
    }
