lsshipper 0.1

Very basic python logstash shipper

### Description

This is very simple replacement for ElasticSearch filebeat.

### Usage

#### install

`bash pip install git+https://github.com/stavinsky/lsshipper ` after that create config directory anywhere you want and put 2 config files there.

1. log_config.ini - this is config for logging system. [example with verbose logs](../master/example_config_folder/log_config.ini) 2. config.ini - main config. Make sure that pattern and newline parameters is doublequotted. [example with verbose logs](../master/example_config_folder/config.ini)

#### running

It can be started as a module: `python -m lsshipper --config_dir <dir with configs> `

### Why?

There is windows software that adds preallocated block of zeroes(x00) to log file. Original filebeat skips such blocks. So big part of logs can be lost.

### Speed

On my mac mini late 2003 it can write to network about 2Mb/s. I will test later on windows and linux. I believe on linux it should be much faster.

### Problems 1. On very fast server reconnects it can loose one log string. Please check test_connection.py
