Bug 562920 – app-admin/logstash-bin: support more upstream features

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ferenc Erki 2015-10-12 12:23:20 UTC]

The conf.d and initscript files for the current ebuild seems to miss several tuning possibility that is supported by Logstash upstream. Based on our chat with the current proxied maintainer, Tomas Mozes, I hereby send a bunch of updates that tries to improve the situation.

The following changes has been made/options made possible:
 - create dedicated logstash user/group
 - passing arbitrary logstash CLI options
 - set heap size
 - set additional Java options
 - set pidfile
 - set user/group for logstash process
 - set logfile
 - toggle GC logging
 - set config directory
 - set open file limit
 - set nice for logstash process
 - optionally try harder to kill the process upon stop
 - logrotate both *.log and *.err files

All the changes are based on what Logstash upstream supplies in their deb package.

Please review, and discuss the proposed changes :)

Reproducible: Always

Thanks Ferenc for the patches, some of them got implemented to version 1.5.5:

The next step for 2.0.0 will be to add more and maybe use the upstream debian format of configuration.
