input {  
file {  
path =\> "E:\wo\examples\xxxxxx.log.2015-12-19.log"

```
    start_position => "beginning"
    sincedb_path => "C:\Users\Akash katakam\null"

}

```

}  
filter {  
grok {  
match =\> { "message" =\> "%{TOMCATLOG %{TOMCAT\_DATESTAMP:timestamp} | %{LOGLEVEL:level} | %{JAVACLASS:class} - %{JAVALOGMESSAGE:logmessage}}"}  
}

}

output {  
elasticsearch {

index =\> "splog"  
}  
stdout {}  
}
