Hi  
can the existing http poller be used to receive server sent events? I was looking for a plugin/discussion on this but have not found anything. My goal is to read events from the Marathon event bus ([https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/docs/event-bus.html](https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/docs/event-bus.html)) and save it into Graylog. Looks like someone started work 3 years ago on such a plugin but there's no documentation ([https://github.com/magneticio/logstash-input-sse](https://github.com/magneticio/logstash-input-sse))

Sorry, there is no plugin that I know of for SSE that works with LS 5.0+.

The plugin you linked to is LS 1.x and 2.x.

You may have some luck with this library [https://github.com/radiospiel/sse](https://github.com/radiospiel/sse) - you have to make the binary.

Or maybe try a python sse client.

Maybe you can pipe the output to the `logstash-input-stdin`
