Logstash's Pipeline Viewer UI is a tool designed to help users visualize and understand the complexities of their Logstash pipelines, which can range from simple to highly sophisticated configurations. By displaying the pipeline as a directed acyclic graph, the UI allows users to see the overall structure, identify branches in data flow, and evaluate the performance of various components under real-world conditions. Each pipeline has a unique ID and can have multiple versions, which are distinguished by their contents, and these can be monitored through the UI, which is integrated with Kibana. The viewer provides insights into plugins, conditions, and queues, showing metrics like throughput and latency, helping users pinpoint performance bottlenecks and assess the impact of changes over time. While the current layout algorithm may not always produce perfectly clear visualizations due to its complexity, ongoing improvements aim to enhance readability and functionality, with plans to add more detailed metrics and configuration insights for each pipeline component. The Pipeline Viewer requires an X-Pack Basic license and encourages user feedback for continuous development.
