Java Filter For Logstash

You know how there is a Ruby filter for Logstash which enables me to write code in Ruby and it is usually included in the config file as follows

filter {
      ruby {
           code => "...."
      }
}

Now I have two Jar files that I would like to include in my filter so that the input I have can be processed according to the operations I have in these Jar files. However, I cannot (apparently) include the Jar file in the ruby code. I've been looking for a solution.

Solution

  • So to answer this, I found this wonderful tutorial from Elastc.co:

    Shows the steps to create a new gem and use it as a filter for Logstash later on.
