I am using ElasticSearch sink to capture all the event logs. Currently, it is capturing the data and It is sending it to ES directly. But I want the sink to send the data to logstash for processing. I need to rename, remove and add fields as per req. Semantic Logging Elastic Search sink configuration - customSink name="MyElasticsearchSink" type parameter name="instanceName" type="System.String" value="ElasticInstanceNme" parameter name="connectionString" type="System.String" value="[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)" Can anyone let me know how can I achieve this ? ---

Logstash supports a number of different input plugins (e.g. HTTP or plain TCP or UDP) and I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to connect Semantic Logging to one of them. I don't know anything about Semantic Logging so I can't comment on specifics. ---

Thanks for the reply Magnus. Can you share some links where I find some examples to set up the same? Also, I had one more query. Do we have any APIs for Logstash to connect it via C# code/.NET ? ---

Do we have any APIs for Logstash to connect it via C# code/.NET ? Again, have a look at the list of input plugins and see if anyone fits your purpose. I'm not aware of a .NET library specifically for sending data to Logstash but there are obviously libraries for e.g. HTTP. ---
