Logstash is a free, open-source data processing pipeline that ingests data such as logs and events from a multitude of sources. Logstash transforms log data and sends it to your backend service of choice. By adding Dynatrace support to Logstash, you get intelligent observability and automatic root cause analysis for additional log and event data that’s captured and processed by Logstash.

This is intended for users who want to:

• Complement observability data in Dynatrace, extend the Davis AI engine, and enable DevOps and SRE teams to centrally analyze all log data.

This enables you to:

• Leverage any of the 50+ input plugins from Logstash to get logs and events from your application into Dynatrace where you can immediately benefit from Dynatrace AI-driven root cause analysis.
• Quickly search, explore, and analyze log and event data from a multitude of sources

Compatibility Requirements:

• An ActiveGate with the Generic log ingest API v2 enabled
• A Dynatrace API token with the logs.ingest (Ingest Logs) scope
