Hey, Kapil.

Thank you for pointing out a new versions of logstash charms. I've got
versions of a charm that I've used from first lines of a search in charm
store, I didn't thought they could be outdated so much.

I've looked at new charm today and have some questions. Logstash charm is
in python (yey!) and uses logstash v1.4.2, but doesn't have connection to
redis (strange thing: it "provides" a relation called "input"
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lazypower/charms/trusty/logstash/trunk/view/head:/metadata.yaml#L11).
logstash-agent still used logstash v1.1.4, but it might be ok.

The question now is: do you have any working bundle with to test work of
log aggregation charms for logstash and rsyslog? It would help me a lot to
understand how they should work together.


Thank you 1 more time,
Alex L.
