What are the different output options available in Logstash?

Logstash offers several output options including Elasticsearch, Kafka, and file outputs. What specific use case do you have in mind?

I'm interested in sending logs to Elasticsearch. How do I configure that?

To send logs to Elasticsearch, you can use the elasticsearch output plugin. You'll need to specify the hosts and index name in your configuration file.

Can you provide an example configuration for that?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["http://localhost:9200"]
    index => "logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  }
}

What if I want to send logs to multiple Elasticsearch clusters?

You can specify multiple hosts in the hosts array, or use the load_balance option to distribute logs across clusters.
