Make use of the new formatting options in Icinga Web 2

[widhalmt]

When you write the status like [OK] or [WARNING] in Icinga Web 2 2.7+ it gets highlighted automatically. No matter if this is part or a multiline output or not.

We should use that.

Apologies @widhalmt in advance If it is the wrong place to ask the following question, but is x-pack installation required in order for check_logstash to work? The reason I am asking is my logstash service is running in AWS ECS as stand-alone task that I am trying to find the way to monitor somehow.

Thank you in advance.

@ysibirski Yes, you're right, that's totally the wrong place to ask that. :-) But nevermind, that won't keep me from trying to help you.

The Logstash-API is free to use as it's said in the Logstash documentation. So you can use it without any Subscription. You can set http.host and http.port if you have access to logstash.yml. Most installations I saw have it activated by default and running an port 9600/tcp. Might be that it's only accessible from localhost but that's to be checked in your configuration or in the services' options.

Thank you very much @widhalmt for the clarification. I can take if from here now on.

I'm planning a rewrite of this Plugin that will address this issue. Release is scheduled for January 2023.
