Console Output Configurationedit
The Console output writes events in JSON format to stdout.
output.console: pretty: true
Console Output Optionsedit
You can specify the following options in the console section of the metricbeat.yml config file:
prettyedit
If pretty is set to true, events written to stdout will be nicely formatted. The default is false.
enablededit
The enabled config is a boolean setting to enable or disable the output. If set to false, the output is disabled.
The default value is true.
bulk_max_sizeedit
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 0 disables buffering in libbeat.
