With the release of Logstash 6.0.0-beta1, a new centralized pipeline management feature was introduced to simplify the operation of Logstash instances. This feature allows users to manage Logstash deployments through a management UI in Kibana, enabling the creation, editing, and deletion of pipelines that are stored in an Elasticsearch cluster. This centralization facilitates easier orchestration and management of Logstash configurations, which can become complex in large-scale deployments. Additionally, the feature supports multi-tenancy and self-service, allowing data flows to be isolated using separate pipelines. Security is emphasized, with access control managed via a logstash_admin role and recommendations for best practices, such as using environment variables for credentials and enabling TLS for secure communication. While the current feature lays a strong foundation, future enhancements are planned, including security auditing, monitoring UI integration, and advanced config editor support. Feedback is encouraged through the Pioneer Program, which offers incentives for input on the feature's development.
