File input not pulling in data

[karlm (karl)]

So i Have a daily log file the this with 3 sections time / priority / message like this below

03-Jul-2020 10:24:00.773 +01:00 [INF] User profile is available. this C:/ as key repository and Windows API to encrypt keys at rest.
03-Jul-2020 10:24:01.221 +01:00 [WRN] Overriding address(es) 'http://localhost:5001'. Binding to endpoints defined in UseKestrel() instead.
03-Jul-2020 10:24:02.914 +01:00 [INF] Request starting HTTP/1.1 GET http://localhost:5001/api/v1/events

then i have a logstash config file

input {    
    file {
        start_position => "beginning"
        mode => "read"
        sincedb_path => "sincedb.log"        
        path => ["C:\Logs\*.txt"]
    }
}
filter {
      grok {
        match => { "message" => "%{SYSLOGBASE} %{WORD:priority} %{WORD:description}" }
      }
    }
output {
    stdout { codec => rubydebug }    
    elasticsearch {      
        hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
        index => "logs-%{+xxxx.ww}"
    }   
}

but nothing is happening i think the grok is wrong as well but even without the filter its not putting data in to the log index

any ideas or help? Thanks in advance

@karlm

path => ["C:\Logs\*.txt"]

Do not use backslash in the path option of a file input. It is treated as an escape. Use forward slash.
