I have used filebeat to capture IIS logs. and I have used following grok to filter IIS logs. **match =\> ["message", "%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:timestamp} %{IPORHOST:serverip} %{WORD:verb} %{NOTSPACE:request} %{NOTSPACE:querystring} %{NUMBER:port} %{NOTSPACE:auth} %{IPORHOST:clientip} %{NOTSPACE:browser}/%{NOTSPACE:agent} %{NOTSPACE:referrer} %{NUMBER:response} %{NUMBER:sub\_response} %{NUMBER:sc\_status} %{NUMBER:responsetime}"]** but in kibana I couldn't received the filtered data according to the grok filter. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/e/e4b878ddceca85811fb5a56239a19f37f3e54641.jpg) I tried refresh the index remove and add the index again but no luck 😕 please help my logstash.conf is as follows input { beats { port =\> 5000 } } # First filter filter { #ignore log comments if [message] =~ "^#" { drop {} } grok { #patterns\_dir =\> "./patterns" match =\> ["message", "%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:timestamp} %{IPORHOST:serverip} %{WORD:verb} %{NOTSPACE:request} %{NOTSPACE:querystring} %{NUMBER:port} %{NOTSPACE:auth} %{IPORHOST:clientip} %{NOTSPACE:browser}/%{NOTSPACE:agent} %{NOTSPACE:referrer} %{NUMBER:response} %{NUMBER:sub\_response} %{NUMBER:sc\_status} %{NUMBER:responsetime}"] } date { match =\> ["timestamp", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"] locale =\> "en" } } # Second filter filter { if "\_grokparsefailure" in [tags] { ``` } else { # on success remove the message field to save space mutate { remove_field => ["message", "timestamp"] } ``` } } output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["172.24.80.86:9200"] manage\_template =\> false index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" document\_type =\> "%{[@metadata][type]}" } } ---

Please show what an example event looks like. Please don't use screenshots. Either copy/paste from the JSON tab in Kibana or use a `stdout { codec => rubydebug }` output that you copy/paste from. ---

No fields are created because your grok expression doesn't match your input logs. You did not copy/paste from the JSON tab in Kibana like I asked you to do. In this particular case it didn't matter but another time it might. ---

> Sorry I couldn't find JASON tab in Kibana 5.0 Please help Maybe it has disappeared or is called something else in Kibana 5. I don't know. > Following is my raw log from IIS I can't spot any obvious errors with your grok expression. I suggest you start with the simplest possible one, `%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp}`, and verify that it works. Then build the expression from there. At some point it's going to start failing again and then you know what part didn't work. I strongly suggest you to use a `stdout { codec => rubydebug }` output while testing this. ---

Yes, it's a Logstash output that goes in your Logstash configuration. ---
