This output allows you to pull metrics from your logs and ship them to ganglia’s gmond. This is heavily based on the graphite output.

This plugin supports the following configuration options plus the Common options described later.

Also see Common options for a list of options supported by all output plugins.

• Value type is string
• Default value is ""

Metric group

• Value type is string
• Default value is "localhost"

The address of the ganglia server.

• Value type is number
• Default value is 300

Lifetime in seconds of this metric

• Value type is number
• Default value is 60

Maximum time in seconds between gmetric calls for this metric.

• This is a required setting.
• Value type is string
• There is no default value for this setting.

The metric to use. This supports dynamic strings like %{{host}}

• Value can be any of: string, int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, uint32, float, double
• Default value is "uint8"

The type of value for this metric.

• Value type is number
• Default value is 8649

The port to connect on your ganglia server.

• Value can be any of: zero, positive, negative, both, unspecified
• Default value is "both"

Metric slope, represents metric behavior

• Value type is string
• Default value is ""

Gmetric units for metric, such as "kb/sec" or "ms" or whatever unit this metric uses.

• This is a required setting.
• Value type is string
• There is no default value for this setting.

The value to use. This supports dynamic strings like %{{bytes}} It will be coerced to a floating point value. Values which cannot be coerced will zero (0)

These configuration options are supported by all output plugins:

• Value type is codec
• Default value is "plain"

The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

• Value type is boolean
• Default value is true

Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance. By default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.

• Value type is string
• There is no default value for this setting.

Add a unique ID to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one. It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful when you have two or more plugins of the same type. For example, if you have 2 ganglia outputs. Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.

output {
  ganglia {
    id => "my_plugin_id"
  }
}
