So logstash V5, is that a rewrite in go? I say this because it seems all their other tooling is now written in go, and also, logstash agent and server are very resource intensive in jruby.
If theres a v5 alpha, which isnt on github, is it not open source?
- gerhardhaering 11y agoApparently all they've announced is that they'll release all their products in lockstep with a unified version number from now on. I myself have hoped for a Go rewrite of Logstash for a long time, but there are apparently no plans for this. They are creating lightweight forwarders with their *beats, though. But they are only for forwarding to ElasticSearch, not a general log pipeline processor like Logstash. FWIW there is a thing that's like Logstash in Go, it's Heka by Mozilla. I am very fond of it, but for some reason not many people seem to be aware of it or deploy it.
- LeoHexspoor 11y agoThey have a couple of outputs from *beats though, not only ElasticSearch. Besides ElasticSearch there are outputs to console, file, Logstash and a deprecated Redis output.
