Logstash Plugin

Logstash plugin to pull daily reports from the Google Analytics v3 Core Reporting API.

Forked from https://github.com/russorat/logstash-input-googleanalytics.git.

Documentation

Documentation can be seen in the docs folder (for now). Hopefully, this moves to logstash-plugins repo soon, so it can be rendered properly on elastic.co,

• To get started, you'll need JRuby with the Bundler gem installed (jruby -S gem install bundler).
