Kibana logging client and server for logging without logstash
Project description
Gevent based kibana udp client and forward server. This implementation provides a client and (proxy) server for send log messages from a python application to an elasticsearch server. The log message format provides the elasticsearch logstash message (v1) format which is used in kibana 4. This client/server implemenation allows you to send log messages from your python application to elasticsearch without to use a logstash server. The server will receive log message from the client and forward them to one or more elasticsearch servers. This is more or less the same as the new logstash-forwarder implementation supports. The implementation offers an entry_point called proxy.
CHANGES
0.9.3 (2019-01-12)
switch geo ip format to newest logstash mapping template format. Use geo_point for geoip.location. Support the format {‘geopip’: {location: {lat:’xxx’, ‘lon’: ‘xxx’}}}
0.9.2 (2019-01-12)
bugfix: use False for verify certs as default. This is insecure and you need to enable cthe ertificate check explicit.

bugfix: adjust setup options, ensure integer for timeouts etc.
0.9.0 (2018-02-10)
changed: start script option from –timeout to –elasticsearch-timeout because it’s an elasticserach connection option.
changed: –maxminddb argument from True to maxminddb file path.
feature: Added certificate and ssl support for elasticserach client setup.
0.8.1 (2017-01-11)
bugfix: use float for timeout instead of integer. It seems required by http3 connection
0.8.0 (2015-08-29)
