[syslog-ng] syslog-ng as "shipper" into ELK stack

[Jim Hendrick]

Thanks. Why rabbitmq  instead of redis?  Is it faster, or does it offer some additional  functions?

Hi,

   I am working on configuring Elasticsearch, Logstash & Kibana (ELK) to
test it as a backend search tool for large volumes of logs.

I decided to put Redis in front of Logstash as a "broker" for the
incoming logs, and syslog-ng as the "shipper" so it looks like this:

syslog-ng ==> redis ==> logstash ==> elasticsearch ==> apache ==> kibana

I've been using the following:

syslog-ng => rabbitmq => elasticsearch

syslog-ng + patterndb to parse logs and write then in json format on rabbitmq, after that is just use elasticsearch amqp river to consume the queue.
