Logstash Exporter

The Logstash exporter (logstash) is an OpenTelemetry Collector exporter that wraps the Beats Logstash output and sends log data to Logstash using the lumberjack protocol over TCP.

[!NOTE] This component is only expected to work correctly with data from the Beat receivers: Filebeat receiver, Metricbeat receiver. Using it with data coming from other components is not recommended and may result in unexpected behavior.

Configuration options

The exporter accepts the same configuration options as the Beats Logstash output. At minimum, hosts is required.

See the Logstash output documentation for the full list of options and their defaults.
