The http\_poller [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http_poller.html) has an example. What have you tried, and what do you not like about the result? ---

An http\_poller input does not have an option to specify the body of the request. If you need to specify a body you can use an http filter. Use an exec input running /bin/true every 30 seconds to create a dummy event that the filter can add to. ---
