Logstash 1.4.2 / ES 1.1.1 Trying to backfill the ES from local log files. I seem to have LS configured to do the correct @timestamp insertion. When I start LS reading my 500M file it seems to do the work. I can also see using KOPF plugin that new incdices are created, but when I search with Kibana I cannot find any data. PS, I tried to break the input file to a tiny 5 lines sample and in that case it seemed that the data went in fine and was visible from Kibana. Any help will be appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
