Hi! I'm an university student working on his final degree project, and I can't find any info about the problem I'm having. I need to send logs through Logstash with http but it says it can't fetch the url. I think the problem is with the double point character ":", and the problem is I MUST specify the http port in the url since in the port 80 of the IP address there is a webpage, so I can't use the ip only without specifying the port (also I need to specify the path too to point exactly where I want) . Here are the things from logstash and the config file:
Partial code from .conf file
output {
http {
url => "10.120.240.1:8080/v1/log/logstashtest"
http_method => "post"
headers => {
"Authorization" => "Bearer XXXXX"
}
}
}
Output from Logstash:
[ERROR] 2022-03-11 12:14:57.447 [[main]>worker1] http - [HTTP Output Failure] Could not fetch URL {:url=>"10.120.240.1:8080/v1/log/logstashtest", :method=>:post, :message=>"Illegal character in scheme name at index 0: 10.120.240.1:8080/v1/log/logstashtest", :class=>"Java::JavaNet::URISyntaxException", :will_retry=>false}
So the question is: Is there a solution to this? Can I specify the url as:
- Host: (the ip)
- Port: 8080
- Path: /v1/log/logstashtest
in any way? I don't undestand why it detects that as an illegal character since it it a valid url.
Also I have an additional question not directly related to the problem, but more like for knowledge purposes: with the http output, a log is sent as the message of the body of the http request right? Or is it sent as a file? (As I said I'm a student so I'm still learning about these things yet, so sorry if it is a stupid question 
This is an example of a curl command that works: curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer XXXXX' -d '{<log>}' 10.120.240.1:8080/v1/log/logstashtest, where <log> is one log sent in json format (not json file) in the body of the request.
Thank you very much in advance!
