Re: Logstash as a log aggregator

 

per email update on this earlier today, recent versions of logstash in dev
are at

cs:~lazypower/trusty/logstash-agent
cs:~lazypower/trusty/logstash

not sure i would use the agent (jruby + jvm) as its heavyweight, but the
server is reasonable and supports redis inputs per the std scaling semantic
around logstash.
