I have a log file above with "|" seprated and i want to dissect and tokenize it with filebeat processors and put the value in add\_fields fields. Please correct me if i am doing wrong thanks

Example:

filebeat.inputs:

- type: log  
enabled: true  
paths:
  - /usr/share/filebeat/logs/\*.log  
multiline.pattern: '^['  
multiline.negate: true  
multiline.match: after

output.elasticsearch:  
hosts: ["elasticsearch:9200"]

processors:

- dissect:  
tokenizer: '"[%{asctime}] | %{levelname} | %{funcName} | %{name} | %{message}"'  
field: "message"  
target\_prefix: ""

- add\_fields:  
target: Project  
fields:  
Time: "%{asctime}"  
Level: "%{levelname}"  
Function: "%{funcName}"  
Name: "%{name}"  
Message: "%{message}"

Hi @Hassan_Ahmed

By default filebeat is having "message" field, so won't be able to create a new field with same name.

Could you please try below without add\_fields. Following contents will automatically add field name mentioned in {}.

- dissect:  
tokenizer: '%{asctime} | %{levelname} | %{funcName} | %{name} | %{message\_new}'  
field: "message"  
target\_prefix: ""

Thanks..!!
