=== Generating plugins
|
|
|
|
You can create your own Logstash plugin in seconds! The generate subcommand of `bin/logstash-plugin` creates the foundation
|
|
for a new Logstash plugin with templatized files.
|
|
It creates the correct directory structure, gemspec files, and dependencies so you can start adding custom code to process data with Logstash.
|
|
|
|
**Example Usage**
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
bin/logstash-plugin generate --type input --name xkcd --path ~/ws/elastic/plugins
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* `--type`: Type of plugin - input, filter, output, or codec
|
|
* `--name`: Name for the new plugin
|
|
* `--path`: Directory path where the new plugin structure will be created.
|
|
If you don't specify a directory, the plugin is created in the current directory.
