Simplified log ingestion
There is a simplified option for ingesting log files with Elastic Agent. The simplest input configuration to ingest the file /var/log/my-application/log-file.log
is:
inputs:
- type: filestream 1
id: unique-id-per-input 2
paths: 3
- /var/log/my-application/log-file.log
- The input type must be
filestream
. - A unique ID for the input.
- An array containing all log file paths.
For other custom options to configure the input, refer to the filestream input in the Filebeat documentation.
