This is a plugin for Logstash.
- This is an extension written for the logstash file-plugin.
- The purpose of the plugin was to do some sort of authentication from an end-point before reading a specific input-file.
- The default file-plugin does not do any validation on the file placed into a given file path
- This extension to the plugin can be used to validate if the newly arrived file is a valid one before processing it
- The plugin takes in an authentication endpoint with arguments to be passed (e.g: hash of the file) which will be used for the validation
