Do we want to provide a direct link to the ruby gem on for the Logstash output plugin? I'm not sure.

On one hand, it's kinda hard to find the standalone output plugin.
On the other hand, we don't really list libraries on the downloads page.

@VijayanB and @elfisher Thoughts on this?

[elfisher]

I'd prefer starting with docs and the project README. @aetter for the docs, do is there already a link to the GEM URL for the Logstash output plugin?

[aetter]

We don't, no. Is the goal here "if you have an OSS Logstash install and want to add the opensearch output plugin to it, do the following"?

If so, pretty easy addition to the documentation -- it looks like the the command is just ./bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-opensearch, and we can link to the gem page while we're at it.

[stockholmux]

@aetter Sounds good. Can I transfer this to documentation-website?

[VijayanB]

@aetter I also believe we need to provide documentation for upgrade logstash-output-opensearch as well.

@VijayanB what is the best practice for upgrade? Swap the binaries and load logstash with the OpenSearch output?

[VijayanB]

@elfisher It depends on how the plugin is installed.
if plugin is installed from rubygems.org, then one can update using following command

bin/logstash-plugin update  #to update all
bin/logstash-plugin update logstash-output-opensearch # to update individual plugin

if someone has downloaded logstash-with-output-opensearch-plugin, they have to do following

bin/logstash-plugin remove logstash-output-opensearch # since it was installed manually and shipped
bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-opensearch # to install latest from ruby gems 

[hdhalter]

We'll look into this. The documentation on logstash is here: https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/clients/logstash/index/

[hdhalter]

@VijayanB - Is this still an issue in the docs? If so, can you please help to add this info in the appropriate location? Thanks.

[VijayanB]

@hdhalter We can update documentation on how to update logstash plugin after installation too if it is not already added.

[hdhalter]

That sounds good, @VijayanB . Will you be updating the appropriate file(s)?

[VijayanB]

@dlvenable Can you check this one too? Thanks.

[dlvenable]

The documentation page has a section titled "Install Logstash". Perhaps we can add a new section for "Updating Logstash" with the instructions from #235 (comment).

One thing to consider is that the current instructions are somewhat of a getting started guide. But, updating the plugin version is more maintenance of the running application.

[hdhalter]

Thanks, @dlvenable!
@Naarcha-AWS - Can you please add these upgrade instructions to this page? https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/tools/logstash/index/. Thanks!
