Developing

1. Plugin Developement and Testing

Code

• To get started, you'll need JRuby with the Bundler gem installed.

• Create a new plugin or clone and existing from the GitHub logstash-plugins organization. We also provide example plugins.

• Install dependencies

bundle install

Test

• Update your dependencies

bundle install

• Run tests

bundle exec rspec

2. Running your unpublished Plugin in Logstash

2.1 Run in a local Logstash clone

• Edit Logstash Gemfile and add the local plugin path, for example:

gem "logstash-filter-awesome", :path => "/your/local/logstash-filter-awesome"

• Install plugin

# Logstash 2.3 and higher
bin/logstash-plugin install --no-verify

# Prior to Logstash 2.3
bin/plugin install --no-verify

• Run Logstash with your plugin

bin/logstash -e 'filter {awesome {}}'

At this point any modifications to the plugin code will be applied to this local Logstash setup. After modifying the plugin, simply rerun Logstash.

2.2 Run in an installed Logstash

You can use the same 2.1 method to run your plugin in an installed Logstash by editing its Gemfile and pointing the :path to your local plugin development directory or you can build the gem and install it using:

• Build your plugin gem

gem build logstash-filter-awesome.gemspec

• Install the plugin from the Logstash home

# Logstash 2.3 and higher
bin/logstash-plugin install --no-verify

# Prior to Logstash 2.3
bin/plugin install --no-verify

• Start Logstash and proceed to test the plugin

Publish

# Build Gem 
gem build logstash-output-mongo.gemspec 

# Publish Gem
gem push logstash-output-mongo-1.0.1.gem

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.

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.
