I tried to use multi-pipeline to do log collection, parse and output kafka, But the log's encoding are different (i.e: UTF-8 GBK etc).

i tried use pipeline.yml to setup several log inputs and listening 514, 515 udp ports. by defaults, 514 is for utf-8, 515 is for GBK... and i got many parser failure in logstash log, the log said it expect the log encoding is UTF-8.

- pipeline.id: p514  
pipeline.workers: 1  
pipeline.batch.size: 1  
config.string: "input { syslog{port=\>514}} output { stdout { } }"
- pipeline.id: p515  
queue.type: persisted  
pipeline.workers: 1  
pipeline.batch.size: 1  
config.string: "input { syslog{port=\>515 codec=\>plain {charset =\> 'GBK'}}} output{stdout{}}"

and i change the 514/515 order, seems below, it worked after ran again.

- pipeline.id: p515  
queue.type: persisted  
pipeline.workers: 1  
pipeline.batch.size: 1  
config.string: "input { syslog{port=\>515 codec=\>plain {charset =\> 'GBK'}}} output{stdout{}}"
- pipeline.id: p514  
pipeline.workers: 1  
pipeline.batch.size: 1  
config.string: "input { syslog{port=\>514}} output { stdout { } }"

so i guess the codec only support first pipeline, isn't it?

Well that should not happen.

What version of Logstash are you using?
