Summary

Logstash 7.3.0 has been released, offering improvements and new features to enhance data processing capabilities. Key updates include enhanced pipeline-to-pipeline communication, which allows for the modular construction of separate, isolated pipelines within the same Logstash instance, improving both performance and processing modularity. This feature, initially introduced in Logstash 6.3.0, has been refined to address all known bugs, although it remains in beta. Additionally, the JMS input plugin, which was overhauled in version 7.2.0 for better performance, security, and reliability, is now bundled by default with this release, allowing users to consume data from any JMS technology into the Elastic Stack using a bring-your-own-driver model. Users are encouraged to download the latest version, test its capabilities, and provide feedback through various channels, including Twitter, forums, and the Logstash GitHub issues page.
