Logstash Plugin

This is a plugin for Logstash.

It is fully free and fully open source. The license is Apache 2.0, meaning you are pretty much free to use it however you want in whatever way.

Documentation

This filter rearranges key-value-pairs from the following structure

"awesome_list" => [ { "key" => "animal", "value" => "horse"} , {"key" => "food", "value" => "bacon"} ]

into separate logstash event fields:

"animal" => "horse"
"food" => "bacon"

Configuration

• source : name of the field which contains the list of key value pairs (required). In the example above, this would be "awesome_list".
• key : name of the key for the key field in the list of key value pairs. Headache? Example: If this is your incoming data: "awesome_list" => [ { "name" => "animal", "content" => "horse"} , => "food", "content" => "bacon" ] then the key would be "name". Optional, defaults to "key".
• value : name of the key for the value field in the list of key value pairs. In the above example, this would be "content". Optional, defaults to "value".
• prefix : string to prepend to the new fields that will be added to the logstash event. Optional, defaults to empty.

Contributing

All contributions are welcome: ideas, patches, documentation, bug reports, complaints, and even something you drew up on a napkin.

Programming is not a required skill. Whatever you've seen about open source and maintainers or community members saying "send patches or die" - you will not see that here.

It is more important to the community that you are able to contribute.

For more information about contributing, see the CONTRIBUTING file.
