Jenkins Logstash Plugin

Travis: Jenkins:

This plugin adds support for sending a job's console log to Logstash indexers such as Elastic Search, Logstash, RabbitMQ, Redis or to Syslog.

• see Jenkins wiki for detailed feature descriptions
• use JIRA to report issues / feature requests

Install

• Generate the hpi file with the command: mvn package

• Put the hpi file in the directory $JENKINS_HOME/plugins

• Restart jenkins

Configure

Currently supported methods of input/output:

• ElasticSearch {REST API}
• Logstash TCP input
• Redis {format => 'json_event'}
• RabbitMQ {mechanism => PLAIN}
• Syslog {format => cee/json (RFC-5424,RFC-3164), protocol => UDP}

Pipeline

Logstash plugin can be used as a publisher in pipeline jobs to send the whole log as a single document.

 node('master') {
        sh'''
        echo 'Hello, world!'
        '''
        logstashSend failBuild: true, maxLines: 1000
 }

It can be used as a wrapper step to send each log line separately.

Note: when you combine with timestamps step, you should make the timestamps the outer most block. Otherwise you get the timestamps as part of the log lines, basically duplicating the timestamp information.

timestamps {
  logstash {
    node('somelabel') {
      sh'''
      echo 'Hello, World!'
      '''
    }
  }
}

Adding support for new indexers

• Implement the extension point jenkins.plugins.logstash.configuration.LogstashIndexer that will take your configuration.
• Implement equals() and hashCode()so the plugin can compare new configuration with existing configuration.
• Create a configure-advanced.jelly for the UI part of your configuration.
• Create a help.jelly with more details about indexer.
• Create a new class that extends jenkins.plugins.logstash.persistence.AbstractLogstashIndexerDao or jenkins.plugins.logstash.persistence.HostBasedLogstashIndexer. This class will do the actual work of pushing the logs to the indexer.
