To make efficient calls to the lumberjack output we are buffering events locally.if the number of events exceed the number the declared flush_size
we willsend them to the logstash server.
list of addresses lumberjack can send to
1
The amount of time since last flush before a flush is forced.
This setting helps ensure slow event rates don’t get stuck in Logstash.For example, if your flush_size
is 100, and you have received 10 events,and it has been more than idle_flush_time
seconds since the last flush,Logstash will flush those 10 events automatically.
This helps keep both fast and slow log streams moving along innear-real-time.

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.
true
Disable 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 lumberjack outputs.Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.
output { lumberjack { id => "my_plugin_id" }}
