services.filebeat.inputs

Inputs specify how Filebeat locates and processes input data.

This is like services.filebeat.settings.filebeat.inputs, but structured as an attribute set. This has the benefit that multiple NixOS modules can contribute settings to a single filebeat input.

An input type can be specified multiple times by choosing a different <name> for each, but setting services.filebeat.inputs._name_.type to the same value.

See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-filebeat-options.html.

  };
};
