hi, i tried to import json data to my elastic via logstash.
this is my config :
config\_online.conf
> input
> {
> file
> {
> path =\> ["/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.1.1/config\_oneline.json"]
> start\_position =\> "beginning"
> }
> }
> filter
> {
> mutate
> {
> replace =\> ["message", "%{message}"]
> gsub =\> ['message','\n','']
> }
> if [message] =~ /^{.\*}$/
> {
> json { source =\> message }
> }
> }
> output
> {
> elasticsearch {
> protocol =\> "http"
> codec =\> json
> host =\> "localhost"
> index =\> "json"
> embedded =\> true
> }
> stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }
> }
but when i try to running this with :
> logstash -f config\_oneline.conf
i got this error msg :
> [2017-01-20T14:21:54,282][ERROR][logstash.agent] fetched an invalid config {:config=\>"input \n{\n file \n {\n path =\> ["/usr/local/Cellar/logstash/5.1.1/config\_oneline.json"]\n start\_position =\> "beginning"\n }\n}\n\nfilter \n{\n mutate\n {\n replace =\> ["message", "%{message}"]\n gsub =\> ['message','\n','']\n }\n if [message] =~ /^{.\*}$/\n {\n json { source =\> message }\n }\n\n}\n\noutput\n{ \n elasticsearch {\n protocol =\> "http"\n codec =\> json\n host =\> "localhost"\n index =\> "json"\n embedded =\> true\n }\n\n stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }\n}\n\n", :reason=\>"Something is wrong with your configuration."}

You're using a number of old options in your elasticsearch output. Please consult the documentation for your version of Logstash to see what options are available.
