Hi frnds,
I have configured, Logstash + redis + indexer + elasticsearch + kibana in
mysetup for logcollection. Using beaver + rsyslog agent to pushlogs to the
logstash. The logs are being collected successfully. What I want to setup
now if the email based alert.
My requirement was If any specific exceptions a JDBC or OutOfMemory
exception for example, an email should be triggered to my emailid.
To achieve that tried multiple options like filter at logstash/indexer
level, shell script to pull from elasticsearch via json query. The filter
option in logstash did not work.
The shell script option worked and I was able to get email with the data
from elasticsearch, however the filter in the json script did not work
somehow and it used to send me the data for entire day(index) rather than
the last 5 minutes.
Not sure if anyone has already tried this and or is this discussed already.
Can anyone help me here. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Prasad Lele

Have you tried log4j SMTP appender?
Regarding JDBC exception, I will add a documentation how to set up log4j2
[http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/manual/appenders.html#SMTPAppender](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/manual/appenders.html#SMTPAppender)
in the next version of JDBC river/plugin.
