Since we're on a major migration process of this website, some component documents here are out of sync right now. In the meantime you may want to look at the early version of the new website
https://camel.apache.org/staging/
We would very much like to receive any feedback on the new site, please join the discussion on the Camel user mailing list.

Camel Lumberjack Component

Available as of Camel 2.18

The Lumberjack component retrieves logs sent over the network using the Lumberjack protocol, from Filebeat for instance. The network communication can be secured with SSL.

This component only supports consumer endpoints.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

pom.xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-lumberjack</artifactId>
    <version>x.y.z</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI format

lumberjack:host
lumberjack:host:port

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&...

Lumberjack Usage Samples

Example 1: Streaming the log messages

RouteBuilder builder = new RouteBuilder() {
    public void configure() {
       from("lumberjack:0.0.0.0").                  // Listen on all network interfaces using the default port
           setBody(simple("${body[message]}")).     // Select only the log message
           to("stream:out");                        // Write it into the output stream
    }
};
