i have been reading some logstash source and i'm laughing so fucking hard i'm rolling on my bed rn
https://github.com/elastic/logstash/tree/master/logstash-core/src/main/java/org/logstash/config/ir/
the legend says parsers come from logstash-core
they live there without purpose or performance requirements, with an infinite source of pointless input to parse that will be lost in elasticsearch.
