Hi,
I need to send the logs from nagios core to my API URL, I am using HTTP plugin for send the data.
I am tring to send the json formatted data, but logstgash not send the data in json it send the data in the string.
here is my output logstash pipeline code:
http{
url =\> "[http://localhost:8001/data/](http://localhost:8001/data/)"
http\_method =\> ["post"]
mapping =\> {
"host" =\> "XXX.XX.XX.XX"
"type" =\> "nagios\_log"
"data" =\> "{'nagios\_type': '%{nagios\_type}', 'nagios\_hostname': '%{nagios\_hostname}', 'nagios\_service': '%{nagios\_service}'}"
}
}
i got the json data at my machine like this:
{'host': '172.16.10.81', 'type': 'nagios\_log', 'data': "{'nagios\_type': 'SERVICE ALERT', 'nagios\_hostname': 'Router\_192.168.0.250\_\_SA', 'nagios\_service': 'GigabitEthernet 0/1 ifCRC' }"}
In this output i got value of data as string but i want this as json not string.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
Thank you

You're not sending JSON data. In JSON strings are double-quoted.
