This plugin supports the following configuration options plus the Common Options described later.
Also see Common Options for a list of options supported by allinput plugins.
8649The port to listen on. Remember that ports less than 1024 (privilegedports) may require root to use.
The following configuration options are supported by all input plugins:
"plain"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.
trueDisable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instanceby default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collectionfor 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 usefulwhen you have two or more plugins of the same type, for example, if you have 2 ganglia inputs.Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.
input { ganglia { id => "my_plugin_id" }}
Add any number of arbitrary tags to your event.
This can help with processing later.
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 canalso use the type to search for it in Kibana.
If you try to set a type on an event that already has one (forexample when you send an event from a shipper to an indexer) thena new input will not override the existing type. A type set atthe shipper stays with that event for its life evenwhen sent to another Logstash server.
