Filebeat JSON parsing Error

Elastic Stack Beats

Here is my filebeat configuration in windows

  • type: log

    enabled: true

    paths:

    • c:\logs*
      json.keys_under_root: true
      json.add_error_key: true

and my log looks like:

{"level":30,"time":1520891892759,"pid":15268,"hostname":"DESKTOP-BMTMN1M","message":"** APP START **","type":"init","v":1}
{"level":30,"time":1520891892760,"pid":15268,"hostname":"DESKTOP-BMTMN1M","message":"listening on *:3456","type":"init","v":1}

{"level":30,"time":1520891895760,"pid":15268,"hostname":"DESKTOP-BMTMN1M","message":"DB - Get Exchange Info, Pair Maps","type":"init","v":1}

{"level":30,"time":1520891898898,"pid":15268,"hostname":"DESKTOP-BMTMN1M","message":"INIT: Fetch Balances","type":"init","v":1}

but i keep getting this JSON parsing error in filebeat:
Error decoding JSON: invalid character '\x00' looking for beginning of value

each log statement is contained in one line, and each line is terminated with a CR,LF

Do you get an error for each line or only some of the lines?

Which Filebeat version are you using?
