As following shows:  
the system recorded a duplicate data. And I want to delete one piece of data. How can I do to remove data. By id or somehow else?

Data sample

path:/var/log/command.log @timestamp:December 18th 2017, 13:30:51.000 garbege: 26 pushcode:b10317004 @version:1 host:jupyter message: 26 b10317004 2017-12-18-13:30:51 git push timestamp:2017-12-18-13:30:51 \_id:AWBoGqQaouxDoQZkzgq2 \_type:logs \_index:logstash-2017.12.18 \_score: -

Thanks for the reply.  
But I can't find the file or directory such as logstash-2017.12.18/logs/  
even I try to find out all file or directory of "logstash"  
And I use the Ubuntu system install ELK and do not change th3 config setting
