Yes My Suggestion was to try straight from Filebeat to Elasticsearch just to test the line processing.

Also could you try just the `codec => rubydebug` instead of the json codec.

Also you could test the filebeat console output as well

> **[Configure the Console output | Filebeat Reference \[8.1\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/console-output.html)**

```auto
output.console:
  pretty: true

```

Yeah there is something "Unusual" going on this should all be pretty straightforward.
