Filebeat unable to find match for dissect pattern

obol89 · May 19, 2023, 9:49am

Hi Everyone,

I couldn't find a reason, why Filebeat is going into the loop with "Unable to find match for dissect pattern" when it reaches the end of the file with filestream input mode. I'm parsing multiple very similar files, created by the same software, just to different files, with different flags. Most of them are parsed properly, but some of them are causing output like this. More interesting is, that I see in the filebeat debug output, it went through all lines and correctly reached the end of the file.
After that it is producing a lot of the same logs I've pasted below.
I will appreciate any help, thanks!

"message":"Bulk item insert failed (i=11, status=500): {\"type\":\"find_match\",\"reason\":\"find_match: Unable to find match for dissect pattern: %{message} against source: \"}"

This is my filebeat config:

filebeat.inputs:

- type: filestream
  id: test-logs
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - /home/test/writer/log/current
    
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["http://dc-prd-mon02:9200"]
  indices:
  - index: "test-logs"
    when.contains:
      log.file.path: "test"
  pipelines:
  - pipeline: "test-logs-pipeline"
    when.contains:
      log.file.path: "test"

Ingest pipeline:

PUT _ingest/pipeline/test-logs-pipeline
{
  "processors": [
    {
      "dissect": {
        "field": "message",
        "pattern": "%{date} %{+date} %{message}"
      }
    },
    {
      "date": {
        "field": "date",
        "formats": [
          "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS",
          "yyyy-MM-ddHH:mm:ss,SSS"
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "remove": {
        "field": "date"
      }
    }
  ],
  "on_failure": [
    {
      "dissect": {
        "field": "message",
        "pattern": "%{message}",
        "ignore_failure": true
      }
    }
  ]
}

Output from the filebeat debug

Does anyone know how the "source" can be empty?

against source: \"

An empty line or a line with just a space in your source file could result on this.

The issue is in your source file.
