Hi Dublin,
Yes it is definitely possible. @steffens had helped me on an issue a couple of years back
The relevant part is as follows:
simple logstash config for testing:
input {
beat { ... }
}
output {
stdout { codec => dots }
}
This config prints one dot per event. Using pv we can measure throughput:
./bin/logstash test.cfg | pv -War > /dev/null
This will give you the event rate in terms of bytes/sec. To get an idea about the actual event rate, you will have to use the metric filter. Hope this helps!
