Hi @Khaled_Saidi,

Can you share which version of Logstash you are using, and share your pipeline configuration? Looking at [this similar issue](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/getting-badly-formatted-index-after-interpolation-still-contains-placeholder-error-when-trying-to-ingest-aws-waf-logs/340862) it might be down to a syntax error.

Let us know!
