Summary
In this chapter, we saw various configuration options for Logstash plugins, namely input, filter, output and codec plugins, and how these various plugins available with Logstash can be used to help collect, parse, and transform various types of events generated from multiple types of sources.
In the next chapter, we will see how we can create our own plugin to cater to the needs for custom format or to handle special type of events not handled through existing plugins.
