Installation

To install the extension, activate your virtualenv and run:

pip install ckanext-logstash

Alternative, you can install a development version with:

git clone https://github.com/datopian/ckanext-logstash.git
cd ckanext-logstash
python setup.py develop
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

To activate the plugin, add logstash to the ckan.plugins key in your ini file:

ckan.plugins = logstash <other-plugins>

You must provide a Logstash Endpoint:

logstash.kind = tcp/udp/amqp
logstash.host = <hostname>
logstash.port = <port> (5959 by default)

If you want Logstash to record your log messages, you can turn it on adding the following options:

logstash.configure_logging=True
logstash.log_level=WARN

The default log level if not provided in the configuration is INFO.

All these configuration options can also be passed via environment variables:

• CKAN_LOGSTASH_KIND

• CKAN_LOGSTASH_HOST

• CKAN_LOGSTASH_PORT

• CKAN_SENTRY_CONFIGURE_LOGGING

• CKAN_SENTRY_LOG_LEVEL

The configuration also supports env vars named like the ckanext-envvars extension convention (eg CKAN___LOGSTASH__LOG_LEVEL).
