Logstash is a powerful open source data processing pipeline that makes it easy to collect, transform, and load data from a variety of sources. In this tutorial, we will walk through the installation process of Logstash on Fedora CoreOS latest.
Before starting with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to download and extract the Logstash binaries from the official website. You can download the latest version of Logstash from the following link:
https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash
Open a terminal and run the following commands:
cd /tmp
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/logstash/logstash-7.14.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xzf logstash-7.14.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Next, we need to configure Logstash. The configuration file is located in the conf directory of the extracted Logstash archive. By default, Logstash has a simple configuration that listens for input on port 5044.
You can modify the configuration file to suit your requirements. For example, if you want to collect data from a file, you can add the following input section to the configuration file:
input {
file {
path => "/path/to/your/file.log"
start_position => "beginning"
}
}
Once you have configured Logstash, you can start it by running the following command:
cd logstash-7.14.0/
bin/logstash -f conf/logstash.conf
This will start Logstash and load the configuration file. Logstash will start listening for input data as per the configuration specified.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Logstash on Fedora CoreOS latest. Now you can use Logstash to collect, transform, and load data from a variety of sources.\
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!
