About:
Logstash is a server-side data processing pipeline that ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a 'stash' like Elasticsearch. It is a core component of the Elastic Stack (ELK), enabling users to enrich, parse, and index logs and event data for powerful analysis and visualization.
Key Features:
  • Extensible plugin architecture for inputs, filters, and outputs
  • Supports a wide variety of data sources and formats
  • Powerful parsing and transformation capabilities (e.g., grok)
  • Native integration with Elasticsearch and Kibana
Use Cases:
  • Centralized logging and log aggregation from distributed systems
  • Parsing and structuring unstructured log data for analysis
  • Real-time application and infrastructure monitoring
Alternatives:
  • Fluentd – Fluentd is a CNCF project with a lighter resource footprint, while Logstash offers more powerful built-in filtering at the cost of higher memory usage.
  • Vector – Vector is a high-performance, memory-efficient alternative written in Rust, often used for similar observability data pipelines.
