Can you post the complete error message, and preferably not as a screenshot but as actual text? Also, which versions of Filebeat and Elasticsearch are you using? ---

Hello its running on powershell but what I can see is that the error is on the timestamp format: ![imagem](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/0/80ca8cf9fd08a1052c25e1eeeeb6954fae140737.png) where can I change the format that filebeat searches? thanks ---

We're going to need some more information. Could you post your `filebeat.yml` configuration file? Shaunak ---

Hello, My filebeat.yml is: ###### Logs do uipath filebeat.inputs: - type: log paths: - 'C:\Users\dto.rpa\AppData\Local\UiPath\Logs\Execution.log' output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["localhost:9200"] username: "elastic" password: "" index: "uipathlogs" pipeline: "uipathlogs-pipeline" setup: template.enabled: false ilm.enabled: false ---

I think this error might be coming from the `uipathlogs-pipeline` Elasticsearch ingest pipeline. Could you post that pipeline here please, delimited by ``` so it's properly formatted and easy to read? Thanks, Shaunak ---

Hello, Thanks again for your help. The pipeline is: [ { "date": { "field": "timeStamp", "formats": [ "ISO8601" ], "output\_format": "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSSXXX" } } ] ---

From looking at the event in your [error screenshot](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-error-when-importing-logs/267395/3), I don't see a `timeStamp` field in there. That would explain this error. ---
