Description

Read events from a Jms Broker. Supports both Jms Queues and Topics.

For more information about Jms, see http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/bncdq.htmlFor more information about the Ruby Gem used, see http://github.com/reidmorrison/jruby-jmsHere is a config example to pull from a queue: jms { include_header ⇒ false include_properties ⇒ false include_body ⇒ true use_jms_timestamp ⇒ false interval ⇒ 10 destination ⇒ "myqueue" pub-sub ⇒ false yaml_file ⇒ "~/jms.yml" yaml_section ⇒ "mybroker" }

Details

 

add_field

  • Value type is hash
  • Default value is {}

Add a field to an event

codec

  • Value type is codec
  • Default value is "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.

enable_metric

  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is true

Disable 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.

id

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

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 jms inputs.Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.

input {  jms {    id => "my_plugin_id"  }}

tags

  • Value type is array
  • There is no default value for this setting.

Add any number of arbitrary tags to your event.

This can help with processing later.

type

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

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.
