The Logstash config file provided is composed of three parts: the input, filter, and output. The input section designates the input source of the logs that Logstash will process - in this case, you are going to use an Azure blog input plugin (installed in the next steps) that allows us to access the network security group flow log JSON files stored in blob storage.
