:modulename: logstash
:has-dashboards: true
== Logstash module
The +{modulename}+ module parse logstash regular logs and the slow log, it will support the plain text format
and the JSON format (--log.format json). The default is the plain text format.
include::../include/what-happens.asciidoc[]
The +{modulename}+ module has two filesets:
* The `log` fileset collects and parses the logs that Logstash writes to disk.
* The `slowlog` fileset parses the logstash slowlog.
For the `slowlog` fileset, make sure to configure the
{logstashdoc}/logging.html#_slowlog[Logstash slowlog option].

=== Compatibility
The Logstash `log` fileset was tested with logs from Logstash 5.6 and 6.0.

The following example shows how to set paths in the +modules.d/{modulename}.yml+
file to override the default paths for Logstash logs and set the format to json
["source","yaml",subs="attributes"]
-----
- module: logstash
log:
enabled: true
var.paths: ["/path/to/log/logstash.log*"]
format: json
slowlog:
enabled: true
var.paths: ["/path/to/log/logstash-slowlog.log*"]
format: json
-----
To specify the same settings at the command line, you use:
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
-----
-M "logstash.log.var.paths=[/path/to/log/logstash/logstash-server.log*]" -M "logstash.slowlog.var.paths=[/path/to/log/logstash/logstash-slowlog.log*]"
