Indexing data by getting substring of each row

Hi All,

I am new to logstash, I would like to index attached format of data into Elasticsearch using logstash. Could you please provide some samples, so that I can work on them.

The Attached file doesn't contains headers, we need to extract each field value from a row using column index.

For example, column 5 to column 10 - is value for a particular field.

Sample Data:

Above provided is a sample single row, similarly I will be having multiple rows. Each row contains value for multiple fields.

Thanks,
Ram Prasad G

What is the expected output?

Hi Christian,

Expected output would be like, customer_id: C2841, customer_nameL KAKU, etc.

Thanks,
Ram Prasad G

Can you please show how the full event should be parsed and look?

Hi Christian,

We need to read the file from logstash, each row should be splited based on the fixed column array index value, below i have given example.
For example,

0000C28417401370200000690856000TTEYAA KAKU IND CO.,LTD. - this is the sample data which contains in a file.
From the above data, we have to index into ES using logstash like,
customer_id : column[5] to column[10] -> C2841
customer_idproof_number: column[11] to column[15] -> 74013, etc

which means we need to extract the data for each field based on the given column index.

Kindly let me know if you need further more information.

Thanks,
Ram Prasad G

Any Updates please.

Use a grok filter as this support specification of fixed length patterns.
