This gem is a Logstash plugin. It reads and parses data from Azure Storage Blobs. The azure_blob_storage is a reimplementation to replace azureblob from azure-diagnostics-tools/Logstash. It can deal with larger volumes and partial file reads and eliminating a delay when rebuilding the registry. The logstash pipeline configuration would look like this input { azure_blob_storage { storageaccount => "yourstorageaccountname" access_key => "Ba5e64c0d3==" container => "insights-logs-networksecuritygroupflowevent" } }
