logstash-output-airbrake

This plugin adds a new output allowing to send events directly to Airbrake.

Sample configuration

input {
  stdin {}
}

output {
  airbrake {
    api_key => "My awesome API key" # required
    error_type => "RuntimeError" # optional, defaults to: "RuntimeError"
    environment => "logstash" # optional, defaults to: "logstash"
    host => "custom airbrake host" # optional, no default value
    port => 42 # optional, no default value
  }
}

Documentation

Logstash provides infrastructure to automatically generate documentation for this plugin. We use the asciidoc format to write documentation so any comments in the source code will be first converted into asciidoc and then into html.

For formatting code or config example, you can use the asciidoc [source,ruby] directive
For more asciidoc formatting tips, see the excellent reference here https://github.com/elasticsearch/docs#asciidoc-guide

Developing

1. Plugin Developement and Testing

Code

To get started, you'll need JRuby with the Bundler gem installed.
Create a new plugin or clone and existing from the GitHub logstash-plugins organization. We also provide example plugins.
Install dependencies
```
bundle install
```

Test

Update your dependencies

bundle install

Run unit tests

bundle exec rspec

Run integration tests

Dependencies: Docker

Before the test suite is run, we will load and run an Elasticsearch instance within a docker container. This container will be cleaned up when suite has finished.

bundle exec rspec --tag integration

2. Running your unpublished Plugin in Logstash

2.1 Run in a local Logstash clone

Edit Logstash Gemfile and add the local plugin path, for example: ruby gem "logstash-filter-awesome", :path => "/your/local/logstash-filter-awesome"
Install plugin sh bin/plugin install --no-verify
Run Logstash with your plugin sh bin/logstash -e 'filter {awesome {}}' At this point any modifications to the plugin code will be applied to this local Logstash setup. After modifying the plugin, simply rerun Logstash.

2.2 Run in an installed Logstash

You can use the same 2.1 method to run your plugin in an installed Logstash by editing its Gemfile and pointing the :path to your local plugin development directory or you can build the gem and install it using:

Build your plugin gem sh gem build logstash-filter-awesome.gemspec
Install the plugin from the Logstash home sh bin/plugin install /your/local/plugin/logstash-filter-awesome.gem
Start Logstash and proceed to test the plugin

Contributing

All contributions are welcome: ideas, patches, documentation, bug reports, complaints, and even something you drew up on a napkin.

Programming is not a required skill. Whatever you've seen about open source and maintainers or community members saying "send patches or die" - you will not see that here.

It is more important to the community that you are able to contribute.
