What do you have in you logstash.yml and in your pipeline.yml files?

Please post the content here...

Now it works. it was a strange issue with java version :slight_smile:

can you explain me how i can read at example the appache log and syslog at the same conf file?
or do I need a separate config file for each file type?

thansk

I would just google abit, thats what I did and found a ton of information. Give them a fish and he can eat, teach him how to fish and they can provide for them selfs :slight_smile:
