Hi everyone,

I am trying to disable the logstash from writing all the console logs because due to a lot off i/o activity the ec2 throws error too much work for irq4

output {  
amazon\_es {  
hosts =\> ["_"]  
region =\> "us-east-1"  
aws\_access\_key\_id =\> '_'  
aws\_secret\_access\_key =\> '\*'  
index =\> "%{file}"  
template\_name =\> "sqe\_template"  
template\_overwrite =\> "true"  
codec =\> "json"

}

This is my output file, is it writing to the console logs , I need codec =\> json as its formats the output in the correct way for it to appear in elasticsearch kibanna.

Any suggestions will be helpful

Thank You
