# Logstash

> Send data from your Logstash instance to Mezmo Pipelines using the HTTP output plugin with string or JSON formatting.

## Description

You can send data from your Logstash instance to Mezmo Pipelines.

## Configuration

Select the data format to ingest based on how you configure the Logstash output plugin. We recommend using the [HTTP output plugin documented here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-http.html).

Form encoding is not supported at this time, so use string or json methods for output formatting.
