从Java管理Logstash

Question

I want to manage starting and stopping of logstash from Java. Is there any easy/nice way to do this?

so, can anyone give me an example of how to start logstash without needing to my logstash instance started from run.bat manually.?

Answer 1

You can run the batch file as a process in Java like this

String cmd = "cmd /c start C:\\path\\to\\run.bat";
Process logstashProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

And then kill the process calling destroy() method when needed

logstashProcess.destroy();

You can add these as startup and shutdown hooks of your application (the application whose log you will be analyzing using logstash) or you could just write a standalone Java app which will maintain starting and stopping logstash.
