database - Need of a redis server in a centralized setup -
i have gone through documentation on logstash server find out require redis server act broker. here link:
http://logstash.net/docs/1.1.12/tutorials/getting-started-centralized
but not clear me why use redis @ broker?
we rather directly ship logs elastic search logstash itself, save need of redis broker. why go shipper , indexer ?
need clear explanation.
thanks.
i believe can find answer here:

redis acts temporary key value store raw shipper information parsed indexer. log info stored in elasticsearch, , not in redis.
apparently idea offload indexing server dedicated such tasks, indexing cpu intensive. redis being called broker seems appropriate, guess.
