Kibana + Elasticsearch without Logstash possible?

Question

I am kind of new to Logstash. We have a legacy web application which ships logs directly to Redis server in JSON format. Now I want to display that logs on web interface.
What I read about Elasticsearch and Kibana , I am really impressed by their functionalities.
Is that possible to feed logs from redis to directly elasticsearch and then visualized them using Kibana ?

Answer 1

Yes, Kibana can display any information stored in ElasticSearch indexes.

You'll need a way of automatically indexing items from Redis to ElasticSearch though. You can rather write your own script (should be pretty simple in your case) or use existing software like Redis plugin for LogStash or Redis river plugin for ElasticSearch (deprecated)

Answer 2

当然，您可以使用Kibana来浏览非logstash索引。

Answer 3

您还可以使用mongodb等其他连接器并将数据插入elasticsearch或直接插入数据kibana独立于logstash，logstash主要用于处理您可以按照自己喜欢的方式执行的日志数据。
