Hi guys,

currently I am trying to read the **output from my customized log** files which look like:

`for i in {1..50} ; do awk 'BEGIN {"date +'%Y.%m.%d-%T'"|getline d;"curl -sI some_web_page/" | getline; printf "{\"timestampx\": \"%s\", \"statusx\": \"%s\"}\n", d, $2}' >> /var/log/kibana.customized.jt.log; sleep 1; done`

`cat /var/log/kibana.customized.jt.log`  
...  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:47:51", "statusx": "200"}  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:47:52", "statusx": "200"}  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:47:53", "statusx": "200"}  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:47:54", "statusx": "200"}  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:47:55", "statusx": "200"}  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:47:56", "statusx": "200"}  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:47:57", "statusx": "200"}  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:47:58", "statusx": "200"}  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:47:59", "statusx": "200"}  
{"timestampx": "2016.12.13-11:48:00", "statusx": "200"}  
...

I do not use logstash so far however, I just want to do a simple plot

y - axis - (statusx field)  
x -asis - (timestampx)

Could anyone suggest how to configure **filebeat.yml** file ???

Thx

I think what you are looking for is the json options: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/5.1/configuration-filebeat-options.html#config-json](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/5.1/configuration-filebeat-options.html#config-json)
