logstash_exporter

logstash-exporter

Exports Logstash metrics to Prometheus for monitoring.

Version compatibility and some important info

The exporter only supports Logstash >= v7.3. For earlier versions please check sequra/logstash_exporter.

As some may notice, this is exporter is a result of multiple forks, we decided to create another version for a number of reasons:

• sequra/logstash_exporter maintainers doesn't seem to care about the project anymore.
• This project builds binaries and docker images, eliminating the need for a project like bitnami/bitnami-docker-logstash-exporter which downloads a binary from their servers, which is super creepy.
• Bitnami's project doesn't offer a build for other architectures such as arm64 and here at Leroy Merlin Brasil we rely heavily on Logstash pods running on Graviton nodes.
