logstash-forwarder tcp input #543

Closed philipmeadows closed 8 years ago

philipmeadows commented 8 years ago

Are there any plans to support tcp input of logstash messages which would then be forwarded onto a remote logstash instance.

What I would like to do would be to use something like https://github.com/logstash/logstash-logback-encoder#tcp-appenders to have my applications sending logs directly to a port on localhost and then use logstash forwarder to forward that on to my remote logstash with logstash forwarder taking care of buffering, SSL comms and failover.

@philipmeadows As Filebeat will be the next version of logstash-forwarder I suggest to open this issue directly in the filebeat repository: https://github.com/elastic/filebeat

Great, thanks. I will open it in that repo.
