Rails Logstash Example

This is an example Rails 6 application that is configured to send its logs to a Logstash instance over UDP.

You can read Sending Rails Application Logs to Logstash over UDP over on my blog which walks you through the steps required to add this to an existing Rails app.

Getting started

To run the project you will need Docker and DockerCompose installed on your machine. You can then run the project via DockerCompose as below;

docker-compose up

Once you have the application up and running you can access the services at the following URLs:

• http://localhost:3000 - The Rails app
• http://localhost:5601 - Kibana for viewing your logs
