@Josh thanks a lot from your help so far. I assume that you mean Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration -> Logstash Plugin. Which in this case yes i mean the key. Also I noticed that you suggest indexer type to ‘syslog’ but i have to elasticsearch as I want to push directly to elastic. I am going to try what you suggest. But I wonder whether we do need to give the "key"?
