Pubsubbeat

Pubsubbeat is an elastic Beat for Google Cloud Pub/Sub. This Beat subscribes to a topic and ingest messages.

The main motivation behind the development of this plugin is to ingest Stackdriver Logs via the Exported Logs feature and send them directly to Elasticsearch ingest nodes.

This is not an officially supported Google product.
