We have had some success using LS-to-LS over HTTP(S), which supports an HTTP(s) Load Balancer or Proxy in the middle, and can be secured with TLS/SSL. It can be made to be quite performant, but doing so requires some specific tuning.

Upstream (HTTP Output)

The upstream pipelie would contain a single HTTP output plugin aimed either directly at a downstream Logstash or at a Load Balancer, importantly configured with:

format => json_batch (for performance; without this one event will be sent at a time) and
retry_non_idempotent => true (for resilience; without this, some failures cannot be safely retried).

Depending on whether we ar sending directly to another Logstash or through an SSL-terminating Load Balancer or proxy, the output may need to be configured

with HTTP Basic credentials (user/password),

Logstash internals (Queues and Threading)

The logstash agent is 3 parts: inputs -> filters -> outputs.

Each '->' is an internal messaging system. It is implemented with a 'SizedQueue' in Ruby. SizedQueue allows a bounded maximum of items in the queue such that any writes to the queue will block if the queue is full at maximum capacity.

Logstash sets the queue size to 20. This means only 20 events can be pending into the next phase - this helps reduce any data loss and in general avoids logstash trying to act as a data storage system. These internal queues are not for storing messages long-term.

In reverse, here's what happens with a queue fills.

Electron is tricky to get set up on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but it can work!

Four things needed overall:

you need WSL2, not WSL1
you need node, of course, and that part isn't so bad
you need to apt install several dependencies
you need an X Server so it can display the electron GUI over in Windows-land

Setup instructions, in order:

	# How to install Check MK Agent on ubuntu 16.04

	# Install check_mk_agent:
	# - sudo apt-get install check-mk-agent (will install older version)
	# - On your Check_MK dashboard, go to "Monitoring Agents", click the link for "Check_MK Agent for Linux", save the raw text
	# on your server:

	sudo vi /usr/bin/check_mk_agent
	# paste Check_MK dashboard > Monitoring Agents > Check_MK Agent for Linux
