Elastic Beats Input Plugin for Graylog

Required Graylog version: 2.2.0 and later

This plugin provides an input for the Elastic Beats (formerly Lumberjack) protocol in Graylog which can be used to receive data by log shippers from the logstash-forwards and the Beats family, like Filebeat, Metricbeat, Packetbeat, or Winlogbeat.

Installation

Download the plugin and place the JAR file in your Graylog plugin directory. By default the plugin directory is the plugins/ directory relative to your Graylog installation directory and can be configured in your graylog.conf file.

Restart Graylog and you are done.

This project is using Maven and requires Java 8 or higher.

You can build the plugin (JAR) with mvn package.

DEB and RPM packages can be build with mvn jdeb:jdeb and mvn rpm:rpm respectively.

I can see my dedicated input is receiving messages, but when I click on "See Messages" for that input, it does not find any. Any ideas why?

@alpha-centauri: "logstash" is the correct output for Filebeat. The plugin simply didn't index the "count" and "offset" fields, but that has been fixed in version 1.0.3.

Please file a bug report on GitHub if you find any other issues: https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog-plugin-beats/issues

Very useful plugin! What is the recommended Beats output? When using "logstash" output in filebeat.yml, Graylog does not receive the standard fields Logstash would receive, in particular the field "offset" Filebeat usually sends.
