ArangoDB Logstash Output: Efficient Data Integration
![Logstash](https://usarangodb.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Logstash.png)
Inspired by a question on StackOverflow, I did some investigation about how to make Logstash send log events to ArangoDB.
There is no dedicated Logstash output plugin for ArangoDB on the Logstash plugins page, so I had already accepted to write one on my own.
Browsing the plugins page for inspiration, I found an HTTP output plugin for Logstash. It seems to be general enough that it can send the log event in JSON format to any HTTP-speaking backend.
ArangoDB’s API is JSON over HTTP, so it sounded like a perfect match. I briefly tried it out and it seemed to work fine.
