<h3>Milestone: <a href="../plugin-milestones">3</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Read events from standard input.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>By default, each event is assumed to be one line. If you
|
|
want to join lines, you'll want to use the multiline filter.</p>
|

<h3> Synopsis </h3>
|
|
|
|
This is what it might look like in your config file:
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>input {
|
|
stdin {
|
|
<a href="#add_field">add_field</a> => ... # hash (optional), default: {}
|
|
<a href="#codec">codec</a> => ... # codec (optional), default: "plain"
|
|
<a href="#debug">debug</a> => ... # boolean (optional), default: false
|
|
<a href="#tags">tags</a> => ... # array (optional)
|
|
<a href="#type">type</a> => ... # string (optional)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>

<p>Add a 'type' field to all events handled by this input.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Types are used mainly for filter activation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you create an input with type "foobar", then only filters
|
|
which also have type "foobar" will act on them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The type is also stored as part of the event itself, so you
|
|
can also use the type to search for in the web interface.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you try to set a type on an event that already has one (for
|
|
example when you send an event from a shipper to an indexer) then
|
|
a new input will not override the existing type. A type set at
|
|
the shipper stays with that event for its life even
|
|
when sent to another LogStash server.</p>
