Hello,
I have logstash with the following config:
Kafka Input
Filter metrics
Syslog Output
File Output
Logstash is reading from a kafka topic as type plain
However at different points in time after it has consumed some messages in kafka Logstash will also spit out the following line:
May 26 21:09:00 %{host} LOGSTASH[-]: "actual name of host"
This lines are not present in the kafka topics so why is Logstash creating these records, and how can i stop it from happening?
Also another question. How can i actually have the %{host} display the actual host instead of %{host}
