How to send email notification using Logstash

Question

Hi Guys,

I want to send a notification to my email using Logstash. Whenever a new log comes Logstash will automatically send one email. Can anyone tell me how can I do this task?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the Email plugin in Logstash. It allows you to connect your email account with the help of SMTP, IMAP, etc server. I have attached one example below for your reference.

output {
email {
  to => "xyz@gmail.com"
  body => "Message: This is Nadeem"
  address => "smtp.gmail.com"
  port => 587
  username => "abc@gmail.com"
  password => "password"
  use_tls => true
}
}
