Configulation

input {
  grpc {

   # path to descriptorset binary. needs to be bundled all imports.
   protoset_path => "/path/to/proto.protoset"

   # remote server's hostname, ip address.
   host => "localhost"
   # remote server's port.
   port => 50051
   # whether to use TLS connection to server. (optional; default to true)
   use_tls => false
   # path to CA certificate to verify server. (optional)
   ca_path => "/path/to/ca.crt"

   # fully qualified method name to call. 'service/method' syntax.
   rpc => "hello.MultiGreeter/SayHello"

   # JSON-encoded RPC request.
   message_json => '{"data": {"name": "Logstash"}, number: 10}'
   # ... or Hash styled.
   message => {
     data => {
       name => "Logstash"
     }
     number => 10
   }

   # use lowerCamelCased field name instead of original proto field name. (optional; default to false)
   use_json_name => false
   
   # how long to wait for a call to complete in millisecond. (optional)
   deadline_ms => 4000

   # client retry policy. (optional)
   # see: https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A6-client-retries.md#retry-policy-capabilities.
   retry_policy => {
     maxAttempts => 4
     initialBackoff => "0.1s"
     maxBackoff => "1s"

Building

Build logstash-core

This plugin needs compiled Logstash .jar file for building. For more reference, see Elastic official document.

Clone Logstash to your working directory.

git clone --branch 7.17 --single-branch https://github.com/elastic/logstash.git <target_folder>

Build .jar of Logstash Java plugin API.

./gradlw assemble

Once logstash-core/build/libs/logstash-core-x.y.z.jar generated, set the path to gradle.properties in this project.

LOGSTASH_CORE_PATH=<target_folder>/logstash-core

Build gem

To build plugin gem, run:

./gradlew gem

This generates logstash-input-grpc-x.x.x.gem on top of this project directory.

To install:

logstash-plugin install --no-verify ./logstash-input-grpc-0.0.1.gem

Acknowledgement

This plugin is heavily based on Polyglot for making dynamic gRPC client and logstash-input-java_input_example for boilerplating project. Many thanks to the original authors.
