Hi,

`The input events from filebeat looks like that:`

{"@timestamp":"2018-02-06T16:12:59.892Z","beat":{"hostname":"velastic","name":"velastic","version":"5.4.1"},"fields":{"fields\_under\_root":true,"type":"uxform"},"input\_type":"log","message":"TransactionID: 74667ba4-4f82-4c37-a041-466596d4c700 **start[1516144217530]** time[0] tag[com.core.security.SecurityFilter.inbound]","offset":1831,"source":"/home/ElasticForTest/uxform.log","type":"log"}

`My Filter in Logstash is:`

```
       grok {                      
             break_on_match => true
             keep_empty_captures => false
             match => {
                  message => ["TransactionID: %{DATA:TransactionID}\s*start\[%{DATA:start}\]\s*time\[%{NUMBER:time}\]\s*tag\[%{DATA:tag}\]\s*" ]
             }
             patterns_dir => "/etc/logstash/patterns"
       }
       
       date {
	                   match => ["start", "UNIX"]
	                   target => "start"
         }

```

**The problem is that I am getting:**

```
"tags" => [
[0] "beats_input_codec_plain_applied",
[1] "_dateparsefailure"

```

**Any Idea to solve it?**

Thanks  
Sharon.

Use UNIX\_MS rather than UNIX?
