Hello,

We have an IIB 10 environment and would like to be able to route the logs it generates to Elasticsearch so that we can simply run queries and do other things with it. Perhaps logstash can be used for this but we are unsure if IIB can route the logs in some way to accomplish this. The OS is windows.

Has anyone done this setup before? Is there something that stops this from happening in principal or is it just a matter of connecting the pieces together?

It says here you can send the logs to an ELK stack in bluemix but is not clear whether you can do it to an on-premise ELK stack.

Why wouldn't you use use existing logstash configurations to read the machine system logs?

If you needed/wanted to parse log or event messages sent via queues, then you can use JMS or something else to get the message data and then give it to logstash...

Logstash is what puts the L in ELK.

I didn't see it as that simple but that should work. The main issue will then be to send logs from the actual flows to Logstash but I guess as you said, as long as the data can be sent to a jms queue, Logstash can handle it from there. Thanks for the hint.

You could use other input plugins than a JMS one...

Depends on how you want to emit your log entries from your flow.
