Centralizing pm2 logs with elastic search/kibana/logstash

Question

I was wondering if there was a way to centralize pm2 logs by either sending them to elastic search or integrating pm2 with the ELK stack in some way.

could you post your configuration or way of solving this ? – Viswanath Lekshmanan May 08 '19 at 16:22 — Viswanath Lekshmanan, May 08 '19 at 16:22

I would suggest you to use a pm2 module which would send logs to logstash using PM2's pm2.launchBus(errback) api (http://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/pm2-api/).

As you can see here https://github.com/cliv/pm2-gelf/blob/master/app.js#L24 It's pretty straight forward. The module listens pm2's log events and sends logs using gelf protocol in this case.

I actually solved this by having logstash listen to the file in which my logs were going to. Thanks for the answer though! – jman93 Jul 15 '18 at 13:17
