Logstash is an open-source data pipeline for collecting, transforming, and forwarding log and event data. It provides numerous input, filter, and output plugins and integrates with systems like Elasticsearch. Common uses include centralized log aggregation, parsing and preprocessing for observability and analytics pipelines.

Logstash is a server-side data pipeline that reads events from sources, processes them, and forwards them to destinations such as search or storage systems.
Logstash was developed in the Elastic ecosystem to centralize heterogeneous logs and event data. Its documentation and repository show a progression from a plugin-based log collector to a versatile pipeline platform.
Separate three parts: input receives data, filters transform or enrich it, and output writes it onward. Events travel through the pipeline; plugins define protocols and destinations, while pipelines and buffers affect operation and throughput.
It receives events from a source.
It changes, structures, or enriches event data.
It sends processed events to a destination.
Logstash connects applications, infrastructure, and analytics. It helps normalize and route data, while requiring controls for loss, volume, and sensitive log content.
