logstash.yaml:

inputs:

  - /var/log/messages
  - /var/log/syslog
  - /var/log/*.log
  apache-access:
  - /var/log/apache2/access.log

I run logstash as follows:

Browse the destination host on port 3232, though I get a blank page.

Ahh. Currently 'logstash-web' provides the actual web interface to view the 
data from the websocket.

The websocket:/// output only provides the websocket stream, not any 
html/javascript to use it. I admit this is a bit confusing and will try to add 
bits to serve the same websocket viewing functionality from both logstash-web 
and from the websocket:/// output.

Hi,

Thanks for the tip, I did not notice that logstash-web came with a ws viewer 
under /ws/index.html .

I ran it and I finally got the logs delivered through the websocket stream.

I found just a small issue with it. It seems to work fine for a while and then 
it stops showing any entries in the radiator although logstash keeps sending 
events to the websocket (INFO -- logstash: Sending event to websocket.)

If I log something 5 times in a row, it will no longer show anything afterwards 
and old entries in the radiator don't really fade out. I use Chrome 8 as a web 
browser.

Thanks for your help.

Awesome, thanks for testing the master branch!

I have a bunch of more work to do (testing/quality fixes) before pushing a new 
version, though if you think today's master branch works well enough I am happy 
to cut that as a new gem.
