Pipe output.
Pipe events to stdin of another program. You can use fields from the event as parts of the command. WARNING: This feature can cause logstash to fork off multiple children if you are not carefull with per-event commandline.

pipe {
codec => ... # codec (optional), default: "plain"
command => ... # string (required)
message_format => ... # string (optional)
ttl => ... # number (optional), default: 10

The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.
Command line to launch and pipe to
Only handle events without any of these tags. Note this check is additional to type and tags.
The format to use when writing events to the pipe. This value supports any string and can include %{name} and other dynamic strings.
If this setting is omitted, the full json representation of the event will be written as a single line.
Only handle events with all of these tags. Note that if you specify a type, the event must also match that type. Optional.
Close pipe that hasn’t been used for TTL seconds. -1 or 0 means never close.
The type to act on. If a type is given, then this output will only act on messages with the same type. See any input plugin’s “type” attribute for more. Optional.
The number of workers to use for this output. Note that this setting may not be useful for all outputs.
