Logstash Logs

Site24x7 AppLogs actively monitors Logstash logs with its split up of log data into fields such as date & time, log level, method, and message. AppLogs provides default support of Logstash and other applications, and also allows the user to collect and view log data. Learn more about log management with Site24x7.

Getting started

  1. Log in to your Site24x7 account.
  2. Download and install the Site24x7 Server Monitoring agent (Windows | Linux). 
  3. Go to Admin > AppLogs > Log Profile and Add Log Profile.

Logs file path 

Each application writes logs in different folders and files. By default Logstash logs are sourced from the below mentioned folder path for the respective Operating System. If you have logs in a different folder, you can mention it under the File Path to source them from that particular folder while creating a log profile.

Linux icon
:
/var/log/logstash/logstash*.log

C:\logstash*\logs\logstash*.log
