HTTP plugin
Reads events from HTTP requests with the body delimited by a new line.
Also, it emulates some protocols to allow receiving events from a wide range of software that use HTTP to transmit data.
E.g. file.d
may pretend to be Elasticsearch allows clients to send events using Elasticsearch protocol.
So you can use Elasticsearch filebeat output plugin to send data to file.d
.
⚠ Currently event commitment mechanism isn't implemented for this plugin.
Plugin answers with HTTP code OK 200
right after it has read all the request body.
It doesn't wait until events are committed.
Example:
Emulating elastic through http:
pipelines:
example_k8s_pipeline:
settings:
capacity: 1024
input:
# define input type.
type: http
# pretend elastic search, emulate it's protocol.
emulate_mode: "elasticsearch"
# define http port.
address: ":9200"
actions:
# parse elastic search query.
- type: parse_es
# decode elastic search json.
- type: json_decode
# field is required.
field: message
output:
# Let's write to kafka example.
type: kafka
brokers: [kafka-local:9092, kafka-local:9091]
default_topic: yourtopic-k8s-data
use_topic_field: true
topic_field: pipeline_kafka_topic
# Or we can write to file:
# type: file
# target_file: "./output.txt"
Setup:
# run server.
# config.yaml should contains yaml config above.
go run cmd/file.d.go --config=config.yaml
# now do requests.
curl "localhost:9200/_bulk" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d \
'{"index":{"_index":"index-main","_type":"span"}}
{"message": "hello", "kind": "normal"}
'
