Hi@akhtar,

You can find stdin and stdout plugins in Logstash. By default, if you don't set anything inside these plugins. It will take the keyboard as stdin and screen as stdout. You can use the below-given command.

$ /bin/logstash -e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }'

Hope this will help.
