Logstash in docker

Just tagged images of logstash for docker, nothing else. It is build from official java images and official logstash distribution, you can make you image FROM this one.

Running

For testing you may supply config via cli args:

docker run --rm -it bobrik/logstash:1.4.2 -e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } }'

But to run with custom config you should bind-mount it from host:

docker run --rm -it -v /tmp/logstash.conf:/etc/logstash/logstash.conf bobrik/logstash:1.4.2

Note that it takes some time for logstash to start up and shut down.

Extending

See logstash-kafka to see an example of extended image with kafka plugin installed.
