Logstash 7.5.0 has been released, bringing significant improvements to plugin management by introducing "integration plugins" that consolidate input, output, and filter plugins for specific technologies into a single, manageable entity. This change enhances consistency and ease of use for users while streamlining the development and maintenance process for developers. The release debuts with integration plugins for Kafka and RabbitMQ, ensuring that existing configurations remain unaffected and continue to function smoothly. Users are encouraged to download the new version, provide feedback, and report any issues through various channels, including Twitter and GitHub, as the transition to integration plugins expands in future releases.
