Testing Logstash Custom Conf file with Custom File Input

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Would like to have Logstash use my custom .conf file and custom input file input and generate any errors (if any) or outputs. Is there a way to do this?

Hi @ellje - To run Logstash with a specific pipeline configuration file, you can use the following command flag:

  • -f, --path.config CONFIG_PATH

For example: bin/logstash --debug -f CONFIG_PATH.

Hi @ropc, thanks for the reply! How do I use that configuration file on another file/log input?

@ellje - I am afraid I do not quite understand your question. Could you tell us more about your use case and what you are trying to achieve? Thank you.
