Hi, I am ingesting the standards syslogs using the elastic agent "custom logs" integration. I am trying to parse the logs before indexing and for that I am using ingest pipeline. I have two processors for that: Grok and remove in a sequential manner. When I test the pipeline in ingest pipeline it works but when I use in the custom log integration in the section custom configurations: `pipeline:example-ingest-pipeline` and save and deploy the integration it throws error like this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/6/8650049c5cc7da26b9010bc755c61bf0a06bfd64.png) Does anybody have idea on this? ---

Did you try putting a space after the `:` `pipeline: example-ingest-pipeline` ---

@stephenb yes, I missed the space after pipeline. Error goes away but still pipeline is not integrated. I will update things how it goes. Thank you for the immediate response. ---

Can you show the screenshot of where you put that in. You're using the custom logs integration? That should work. I used that all the time. Did you put any error handling in to see if it's failing in the ingest pipeline? ---

@stephenb Yes, it works. I just had to redo the integration and ingest pipeline. It wasn't working probably working because I was editing the the integration and pipeline. Thank you, now it works like a charm. ---

Hi @stephenb, now I could parse data and everything looks good. however, there is still one caveat - I can't run the KQL queries in Discover as it shows like this: ![query](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/5/f5054461b2a939027f5238a97460a8869cd11d1f.png) My KQL queries run perfectly fine when I am ingesting data without the ingest pipeline via custom logs integration ---

What is the KQL Query .. what does the document Look Like The KQL is probably not returning any results / no match What does your documents look like and what exact KQL... need exact Examples > [@shuuny-matrix](#): > > My KQL queries run perfectly fine when I am ingesting data without the ingest pipeline via custom logs integration The ingest pipeline is creating different fields look at the documents / mappings ... more details otherwise we are just guessing ---
