How Logstash Works
Logstash works by using a pipeline that consists of three main components: Inputs, Filters, and Outputs.
- Inputs: Where data is ingested from different sources.
- Filters: Where data is processed and transformed.
- Outputs: Where the processed data is sent, such as Elasticsearch, files, or other services.
