Hi ,  
My filebeat.yml file is

```
filebeat.prospectors:

input_type: log
paths:
    /u04/jboss/standalone/log/server.log
    /var/log/soapradius.log
    /var/log/radius.log
    exclude_lines: ['^.AbstractLoggingWriter.write..$']

```

even I try to exclude\_lines: ['^._AbstractLoggingWriter._`]

My actual log is  
2019-01-23 06:16:37,753 ERROR stderr org.jboss.stdio.AbstractLoggingWriter.write(AbstractLoggingWriter.java:71) - URI: urn:pronto.ver600

2019-01-23 06:17:03,739 ERROR stderr org.jboss.stdio.AbstractLoggingWriter.write(AbstractLoggingWriter.java:71) -

Everything working fine.But I'm unable to exclude above lines.Please some one help me how to exclude lines like **AbstractLoggingWriter.write(AbstractLoggingWriter.java:71)**.  
or Is there another way to fix from filebeat.yml?

Is this a duplicate of: [Unable to exclude\_lines in filebeat](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to-exclude-lines-in-filebeat/165215/18) ?
