Deprecate log input in favour of filestream #28623

kvch · 2021-10-25T14:25:30Z

What does this PR do?

This PR marks the log input as deprecated. As we are not in a hurry to remove the input because it possibly impacts lots of users, I omitted the version to remove from the log message. Our goal is to let users who are satisfied with the input use it as long as they would like to. However, if it is no longer working or found any issues in the input, we are asking them to move to filestream input.

Why is it important?

Everyone should move to filestream input because it is a great improvement over the old log input.

This pull request does not have a backport label. Could you fix it @kvch? 🙏
To fixup this pull request, you need to add the backport labels for the needed
branches, such as:

backport-v./d./d./d is the label to automatically backport to the 7./d branch. /d is the digit

NOTE: backport-skip has been added to this pull request.

@ruflin I removed the version from the log message and added more details to the PR description.

Shouldn't this be 7.16.0?

Should we add this to the changelog too?

I accidentally added this file. I wanted to create a separate PR, so I only have to add a single line to the changelog.

Is there anything we have to be aware of when changing a log type filebeat input to a filestream input? Is there a migration or conversion we have to do or is it simply just a matter of changing "log" to "filestream" in filebeat.yml?

derekha-igs · 2022-03-08T09:45:22Z

What I'm aware is will the registry can handle the log to filestream migration correctly?
Say, the file read first 100 lines by log input, and I stop the filebeat and migration to filestream, will the filestream able to read from line 101? Also the files processed before by log input will reprocess or not?

Please advice, thanks.
