# A simple output which prints to the STDOUT of the shell running
# Logstash. This output can be quite convenient when debugging
# plugin configurations, by allowing instant access to the event
# data after it has passed through the inputs and filters.
#
# For example, the following output configuration, in conjunction with the
# Logstash `-e` command-line flag, will allow you to see the results
# of your event pipeline for quick iteration. 
# 
#     output {
#       stdout {}
#     }
# 
# Useful codecs include:
#
# `rubydebug`: outputs event data using the ruby "awesome_print"
# library[http://rubygems.org/gems/awesome_print]
#
#     output {
#       stdout { codec => rubydebug }
#     }
#
# `json`: outputs event data in structured JSON format
#
#     output {
#       stdout { codec => json }
#     }
