I’d definitely like to be a part of this.  I think this is one of the items 
that fits under the Monitoring/Ops Tools Working Group topics that we discussed 
at the Summit. Not sure if you were able to attend, but this was the etherpad 
on the topics discussed: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/YVR-ops-tools

With help from Graeme Gillies and Debo Dutta, I am working on trying to find a 
time that works for us to start having bi-weekly (initially) meetings to 
discuss Monitoring and Ops Tools.  I think there are many topics that we can 
discuss and I think logstash filters is a major one.

Subject: [Openstack-operators] Collaborative Logstash filter development

Hi everyone,

During the summit at Vancouver and at time both prior and after there has been 
expressed interest in more collaborative development of Logstash filters in an 
OpenStack environment.

Current examples which I'm aware of include:
 - https://github.com/godaddy/openstack-logstash
 - https://github.com/osops/tools-logging
 - http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/logstash.html
 - 
https://github.com/rcbops/rpc-extras/tree/master/rpcd/playbooks/roles/logstash/templates

There was some discussion in the Operators track at the design summit about 
setting up a collaborative location, but to my knowledge there has been no firm 
decision about it.

It is plausible that we could put together a repository which is purely focused 
on the filters (not the input/output sections) and which could be consumed by 
downstream users (eg: openstack-infra). To do this, however, will require a 
group of interested parties to agree on how this will be done. Considering that 
it will likely be accepted into the Big Tent it will likely also require a PTL 
and core reviewing team.

We (Rackspace Private Cloud) are happy to seed initial configurations and work 
with a team of other parties to put together a standardised set of filters 
which are usable and useful. When agreed that the filters are ready we will 
also work with openstack-infra to implement the filters into 
logstash.openstack.org<http://logstash.openstack.org>.

How would the Operator community like to proceed with this? Shall we arrange 
some sort of IRC discussion to figure out how best to organise this and to 
identify next steps?
