I went through the documentation of logstash but could not find answer to this. Could anyone enlighten what is the field max_value for file output of logstash measured in (bytes, MBs, GBs) ? It is going to be a major driving factor as I do not want to create a file which is 200 MB.

I suppose you wanted to ask about the parameter max_size as max_value parameter is not there for a output file.

max_size of file output plugins is not yet supported by logstash.

They have clearly mention as NOT YET SUPPORTED in their site i.e http://logstash.net/docs/1.4.2/outputs/file#max_size.

And if you see the code of file.rb in github , they commented as NOT YET SUPPORTED and haven't used anywhere in the code.

Hope this helps.
