Now you can write your own Java plugin for use with Logstash.We have provided instructions and GitHub examples to giveyou a head start.
Native support for Java plugins in Logstash consists of several componentsincluding:
- Extensions to the Java execution engine to support running Java plugins inLogstash pipelines
- APIs for developing Java plugins.The APIs are in the
co.elastic.logstash.apipackage.A Java plugin might break if it references classes or specific concreteimplementations of API interfaces outside that package. The implementation ofclasses outside of the API package may change at any time. - Coming in a future release: Tooling to automate the packaging and deployment ofJava plugins in Logstash. (Currently, this process is manual.)
