Console Output Options

edit

You can specify the following options in the console section:

pretty

edit

If pretty is set to true, events written to stdout will be nicely formatted. The default is false.

bulk_max_size

edit

The maximum number of events to buffer internally during publishing. The default is 2048.

Specifying a larger batch size may add some latency and buffering during publishing. However, for Console output, this setting does not affect how events are published.

Setting bulk_max_size to values less than or equal to 0 disables buffering in libbeat.
