For the moment the only way to install logstash-forwarder-java is to download the maven project and run maven build. Next step is to distribute the logstash-forwarder-java jar and the lib directory located in the maven target directory.

+## Differences with logstash-forwarder
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Configuration
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The configuration file is the same (json format), but there are a few differences :
|
|
|
+ - the ssl ca parameter points to a java keystore containing the root certificate of the server, not a PEM file
|
|
|
+ - the program only uses the first server in the network section for the moment
|
|
|
+ - comments are C-style comments
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Command-line options
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Some options are the same :
|
|
|
+ - config (but only for a file, not a directory)
|
|
|
+ - quiet
|
|
|
+ - idle-timeout (renamed idletimeout)
|
|
|
+ - spool-size (renamed spoolsize)
|
|
|
+ - help
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+There are a few more options :
|
|
|
+ - debug : turn on debug logging level
|
|
|
+ - trace : turn on trace logging level
