Introducing Logstash on Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) technical preview

Elastic has announced the technical preview of the Logstash Operator for Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK), which simplifies Logstash management by integrating it with the Elastic Stack on ECK and removing the need for manual resource management. Users can configure Logstash pods with just a few lines of YAML, utilizing the Logstash Domain Specific Language (DSL) for pipeline configuration, either inline in the Custom Resource Definition (CRD) or in mounted volumes. The operator supports multiple pipelines and automatically reloads updates without needing to restart pods. The preview includes enhanced Elasticsearch integration with plugins facilitated by elasticsearchRef and pre-populated environment variables, as well as simplified monitoring through stack support. The Logstash setup can include creating Logstash pods that send data to Elasticsearch, integrating Elastic Agent, and enabling stack monitoring. Further development promises even more streamlined integration within the Elastic Stack, with the feature set currently in technical preview.
