Hello,

I am having issues getting my logs parsed correctly in filebeat. In short, none of my custom fields (created by grok) are being loaded into the filebeat indicies page. The logs are being passed successfully but they are not being parsed accordingly. I have the latest ELK stack and filebeat. I followed the following to get it setup: [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-centos-7](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-centos-7)

Hello,

The issue I am having is still occurring. I have tried different templates as well. It is not a grok issue since this grok has proven successful on a older version of logstash that I am running (using log-courier).

Any thoughts?

Thanks

What _do_ you get? Show your configuration and the result of a `stdout { codec => rubydebug }` output.
