Configuration Table

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
listen_port*int2255Port to listen on.
listen_ipstring"0.0.0.0"IP Address to listen on.
log_typestringlogstashArbitrary for attribute 'log_type'. Useful for filtering between many logstash sources.
parse_formatenumnoneMethod to use when parsing. Valid values are none, json, and regex. When regex is selected, 'Regex Pattern' must be set.
regex_patternstringThe regex pattern used when parsing log entries.
multiline_line_start_patternstringRegex pattern that matches the beginning of a log entry, for handling multiline logs.
multiline_line_end_patternstringRegex pattern that matches the end of a log entry, useful for terminating parsing of multiline logs.
parse_timestampboolfalseWhether to parse the timestamp from the log entry.
timestamp_fieldstringtimestampThe field containing the timestamp in the log entry.
