Logstash

Logstash is an open source server-side data processing pipeline that ingests log data from a multitude of sources, transforms it, and then sends it to your favorite “stash.”

Thanks to Logstash’s flexible plugin architecture, you can send a copy of all the traffic that Logstash is processing to Honeycomb.

How it works

Logs can be an incredibly powerful, high-level view of your system—especially when enriched with custom, application-specific information about each request.

Use Logstash filters to structure your logs and add additional context that will be useful in Honeycomb. Then, use Logstash’s HTTP output plugin to craft HTTP requests to the Honeycomb API.
