Logstash configuration about logstasher HOT 4 OPEN

You don't set the IP, PORT on logstaher. You use Logstash for that.

@nicolas-besnard What if logstash is running on a different box? How do I tell logstasher where that box is? logstash-logger makes it clear how to do that.

@shadabahmed: I think this issue can be closed.

@turboladen

LogStasher.logger = LogStashLogger.new ...

quite hacky, but works.

I've been implementing logstash since I've had occasional issues running out of disk space when our sever has been targeted. I wanted to do the same to prevent the need to write to a file at all and to write to logstash via UDP.

The answer above using LogStasher.logger = didn't seem to work for me in both an initializer and my .rb file since the LogStasher.logger gets overridden at somepoint after this.

The solution for me was to add this as part of the configuration hash as such:

config.logstasher.logger = LogStashLogger.new(port: 5228)

FYI: Another possibility for resolving the issue I have comes from #136:

config.logstasher.logger = Logger.new(Rails.root.join('log', "logstash_#{Rails.env}.log"), 1, 1.megabyte)
