Hello,
I want to have different indexes depending on the type, ie if the type is
syslog, I want a syslog-logstash-DATE index. That is easy to achive then I
want to have a mapping per index. That is have one template per index, is
there a way to do that. I have tried something like this:
input {
redis {
host =\> "127.0.0.1"
data\_type =\> "list"
type =\> "redis-input"
key =\> "logstash"
}
syslog {
type =\> syslog
port =\> 5514
}
}
output {
stdout { }
elasticsearch {
cluster =\> "logstash"
index =\> "%{type}-logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
template =\> "/etc/logstash/conf.d/%{type}-template.json"
}
}
But it does not work, is there a way to do it, besides doing it manually?
Regards

The best way I can think of would be to use conditionals in your output,
one per type, then you can directly point to specific templates for each
type.

Hello,
Yes, I thought about that, but we wanted something more dynamic, so we do
not have to register every type, so if we have a new logstash shipper with
a new type, we do not have to do anything in the central logstash.
Thanks!
