I am looking for an answer for my logstash ram memory problem because it is nearly 100%. I made lots of search for it but they didn't work out for me. Below code is my logstash.cong file. I think it needs small touches.

Logstash.conf:

```
input {

```

file {  
path =\> ["c:/mylogs/\*.txt"]  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
discover\_interval =\> 10  
stat\_interval =\> 10  
sincedb\_write\_interval =\> 10  
close\_older =\> 10  
codec =\> "json"  
}  
}

filter {

date {

```
    match => ["mydate","yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSS"]
    timezone => "UTC"

```

}

date {  
match =\> ["TimeStamp", "ISO8601"]  
}  
json{  
source =\> "request"  
target =\> "parsedJson"

```
}   

```

}

output {

```
stdout {
    codec => rubydebug
}

elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["http://localhost:9200"]
     index => "log-%{+YYYY.MM}"

}   

```

}
