and this is my logstash config

input {  
file {  
#type =\> "doc"  
#path =\> "/home/wsagiva/Desktop/logs/log.txt"  
path =\> "/home/ip.txt"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
#codec =\> "doc"  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"  
#type =\> ""  
}  
}

filter {  
grok {  
match =\> ["message", "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}"]  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["192.168.1.201:9200"]  
# index =\> "ip"  
}  
stdout {  
codec =\> "rubydebug"  
}  
}

i want to add the ip address from txt file to field of logstash, and i want to visualize it.
