I've been able to get a lot done with your help here and with documentation on Logstash.
Now I want to start learning how to program in Logstash with Ruby. How does one get started with understanding of the Logstash runtime environment: how to interact with the pipe line processing, how to fetch event data, how to recognize matches, how to add to the events, how to modify events, etc?
Is there a Logstash programming primer or a set of examples to analyze to start this journey in Logstash?
