ElixirLogstash

I was trying to incorporate the Logger Logstash Backend into a larger project and ran into issues so I decided to make a barebones project to make the setup process a little simpler.

Running the module

iex -S mix  

iex(1)> ElixirLogstash.log_debug("Hello")  

Notes

Make sure to include :tzdata in the applications portion of the mix file.

Off-topic Notes

I use the docker-elk project to easily deploy a local ELK stack; however, by default it only sets up a TCP input for Logstash. See my fork of that project for the necessary configuration changes. These include:

• Add a UDP input for Logstash in the config.
• Forward a UDP port for the UDP input in the docker-compose YAML file.
