I was dragging my feet to build a log shipper solution. I was going to use Filebeat -> ElasticSearch -> Kibana.

This looks great. My primary attraction is possibly low memory footprint of this program over Filebeat. Secondary attraction is how easy it appears to enable transformations.

Now, if I can make a suggestion for your next/additional project..... A neat system metric collector in Rust that can export to Prometheus with same principles.

Low memory footprint,

Rust,

Single binary,

Customizable with a single config file without spending hours in manuals,

Stdin, Stderr -> transform -> Prometheus.

I’m learning Rust and eventually plan to build such a solution but I think a lot of this project can be repurposed for what I asked much faster than building a new one.

Cheers on this open source project. I will contribute whatever I can. Thanks!!
