Azure Diagnostics + Logstash

Question

Does anyone have a good solution for moving Azure Diagnostics, primarily with Azure Websites magazines, through Logstash to Elasticsearch?

If Logstash does not support it, is there another tool that does this work? Without too much customization.

Answer 1

As with logstash -> elasticsearch anyway, this will depend on the format the logs are in. I assume that you were able to handle logging in logstash using something like nxlog, do you just need to filter them to get them in to elasticsearch?

Without seeing an example or series of examples of journal entries and knowing that you want to get out of the magazines, it’s hard for you to give advice other than the documentation you read, find out what you want to get from the magazines, and then write your own filters. If you are stuck, #logstash is always present on freenode, we are pretty active there.
