I have logs which are encrypted using Java **jasypt-1.92** in **PBEWithMD5AndDES** algorithm. What I need is to **decrypt** these logs in Logstash before sending them to elasticsearch/filters-grok.
While going through logstash documentations found that decryption can be achieved by using filter **plugin - Cipher**. But I could not find the right replacement for PBEWithMD5AndDES algorithm from the list of algorithms supported by this cipher plugin of logstash.
It would help a lot if anybody could suggest the correct algorithm or the right approach to achieve this, like something that I could tinker in logstash to take encrypted log and decrypt it.
