Hi Team,

Quick Question, Can we run any script that is present in our system, from logstash configuration output section?

Thanks

Hi

Check the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/output-plugins.html) for `output{}` plugins. Hint: `exec` is your friend.

Alternatively, you can also execute a script in your system under the `filter{}` section, using the `ruby{}` filter plugin.

Hope this helps.
