Output Plugins
Output plugins define where the processed data will be sent. Here’s an example of sending data to Elasticsearch:
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["http://localhost:9200"]
index => "system-logs"
}
}
In this example, Logstash sends the processed data to an Elasticsearch instance running on localhost and indexes it under system-logs.
