Hello Guys - I am trying to understand if there are any mainframe plugins available yet for Logstash just like Splunk - Ironstream ? I am trying to evaluate options for logging a distributed eco system.

Or is there any other options available?

You can see currently available plugins at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/input-plugins.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/input-plugins.html)

If the mainframe can write logs to syslog or file, you can use input tcp for syslog or [filebeat](https://www.elastic.co/products/beats/filebeat) for log tailing
