About Logstash

PQ compression and ES|QL preview land while weekly plugin churn drives the release cadence.

Logstash is in a steady maintenance phase across the 9.0–9.3 lines, with most weekly releases dominated by plugin dependency bumps (Netty, Avro, kotlin-stdlib) and small fixes. The substantive 9.x work — Persistent Queue compression via ZSTD, batch-size metrics, and ES|QL support in Technical Preview for the Elasticsearch input/filter — represents real capability gains for operators tuning throughput and storage. Security and credential-handling hygiene (sasl_jaas_config redaction, encoded API-key formats) shows up consistently across plugin updates.
