Logstash is an open source data processing pipeline tool that allows you to collect, process and ingest data from different sources. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Logstash on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we begin, you need to have the following:
To install Logstash on Elementary OS Latest, we need to add the Elastic repository to our system. Run the following command to add the Elastic source list:
$ sudo wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/oss-7.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-7.x.list
Now that we have added the Elastic repository, update the package list and install Logstash. Run the following commands:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install logstash-oss
After installing Logstash, start and enable the Logstash service using the following commands:
$ sudo systemctl start logstash.service
$ sudo systemctl enable logstash.service
That's it. You have successfully installed Logstash on Elementary OS Latest. You can now start using Logstash to process and analyze your data.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
