Hi,
I am trying to process a simple JSON file into Logstash but i see the logstash which is listening at port 5045 is not receiving any data from filebeat.
Here is my filebeat and logstash config
#=========================== Filebeat prospectors =============================
filebeat.prospectors:
- type: log
enabled: true
paths:
- D:\ELK\post-data\*.json
document\_type: json
json.keys\_under\_root: true
json.add\_error\_key: true
processors:
- decode\_json\_fields:
fields: ['message']
target: json
#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
output.logstash:
hosts: ["localhost:5045"]
And here is my simple 1 line json from file
{"logs":[{"type":"stats","cat":"EXP","majorver":1,"minorver":3049,"assets":[{"id":"5236182236200021"},{"id":"4236182236100021"},{"id":"1234567002100021"},{"id":"3236182234500021"},{"id":"8236182234900022"},{"id":"4236182234600022"}]}],"createdDateTime":"2018-05-04T11:26:55.015Z","nat":"AG","Card":"1043712373","version":"1.0","Serial":"642","Id":"2","hd":"31","mware":"EA2"}

Can you run filebeat with in debug mode ( `-e -d *`) and post the resulting logs in here? (Wrap the logs between ``` ... ``` so they are more readable)

@adrisr, thanks for your response. i have managed to figure out the problem.
The file does not include a new line at the end of the file."\n"
I just added the new line"\n", data was processed and sent.
