LogStash Installation
There are a few ways to install logstash:
- standalone runnable jar file (monolithic)
- gem install logstash
'standalone runnable jar'
This jar is a runnable jar with elasticsearch and most other dependencies included. To use it, do the following:
web interface
java -jar logstash-%VERSION%-monolithic.jar web
agent
java -jar logstash-%VERSION%-monolithic.jar agent -f youragent.conf
Combined
You can run both the agent and web interface (or any number of separate agents) in the same java process. Just use '--' indicate the start of a new command line:
java -jar logstash-%VERSION%-monolithic.jar agent -f myagent.conf -- web
'gem install logstash'
Using this method to download logstash will install all ruby dependencies.
- You must have JRuby already
- If you use elasticsearch, you'll have to add that to the java classpath. (See below for web interface notes)
- If you use grok, you'll need libgrok installed.
web interface
-
You have elasticsearch already
-
You'll need to know the path to your elasticsearch lib directory.
% CLASSPATH=$(ls /opt/elasticsearch/lib/*.jar | tr '\n' ':') logstash-web Thin web server (v1.2.7 codename No Hup) Maximum connections set to 1024 Listening on 0.0.0.0:9292, CTRL+C to stop
For the above, replace '/opt/elasticsearch/lib' with wherever you downloaded and unpacked elasticsearch.
agent
% logstash -f youragent.conf
# Or if you need elasticsearch:
% CLASSPATH=$(ls /opt/elasticsearch/lib/*.jar | tr '\n' ':') logstash -f youragent.conf
