Hello,
Can i please know if there is a way to monitor the logstash pipelines that can trigger an alert if the pipeline is down using ELK? we have a X-pack.
Thanks

Thank you for the reply. I can use node stats API from the logstash monitoring API. But i dont see any attribute from pipeline stats that can help to understand whether the pipeline up or down. below is the sample pipeline stats outptut.
