Hi,

I can't find a relevant answer to this question. As I understand it, Logstash can hardly read from NFS (there might be troubles). However is it OK to write in a NFS hosted file?

My stack would be Java -\> Kafka -\> Logstash -\> single NFS file

Thanks for your help.

If a single instance of logstash is the only thing writing to the file then I would expect NFS to provide reasonable semantics for anything reading that file.
