The following configuration options are supported by all output plugins:
"plain"The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.
trueDisable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance.By 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 irc outputs.Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.
output { irc { id => "my_plugin_id" }}
