org.apache.flume.sink.elasticsearch
Class ElasticSearchLogStashEventSerializer

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.flume.sink.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchLogStashEventSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, ConfigurableComponent, ElasticSearchEventSerializer

public class ElasticSearchLogStashEventSerializer
extends Object
implements ElasticSearchEventSerializer

Serialize flume events into the same format LogStash uses

This can be used to send events to ElasticSearch and use clients such as Kabana which expect Logstash formated indexes

 {
    "@timestamp": "2010-12-21T21:48:33.309258Z",
    "@tags": [ "array", "of", "tags" ],
    "@type": "string",
    "@source": "source of the event, usually a URL."
    "@source_host": ""
    "@source_path": ""
    "@fields":{
       # a set of fields for this event
       "user": "jordan",
       "command": "shutdown -r":
     }
     "@message": "the original plain-text message"
   }
 

If the following headers are present, they will map to the above logstash output as long as the logstash fields are not already present.

  timestamp: long -> @timestamp:Date
  host: String -> @source_host: String
  src_path: String -> @source_path: String
  type: String -> @type: String
  source: String -> @source: String
