How to set up sending logs to VictoriaLogs from logstash

It is required to use OpenSearch plugin for output configuration. Plugin can be installed by using the following command:

bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-opensearch

OpenSearch plugin is required because elasticsearch output plugin performs various checks for Elasticsearch version and license which are not applicable for VictoriaLogs.

Here is an example of logstash configuration:

  opensearch {
    hosts => ["http://victorialogs:9428/insert/elasticsearch"]
    custom_headers => {
        "AccountID" => "0"
        "ProjectID" => "0"
    }
    parameters => {
        "_stream_fields" => "host.ip,process.name"
        "_msg_field" => "message"
        "_time_field" => "@timestamp"
    }
  }

Please, note that _stream_fields parameter must follow recommended best practices to achieve better performance.
