Any idea how to fix it?

Hello Vive, its unclear what you're asking about.
LS does not have a pdf input. Is your error reproducible?
Sounds like you might have some issue in your pipeline configuration.

@Vivek_Srivastava - Welcome to our community forums!

In addition to what @kares mentioned, can you also provide the following information:

  • your pipeline config file.
  • Logstash debug logs. For example, you can run the following command:
    • bin/logstash --debug -f PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE

Thank you.

This is my conf file:

input {
file {
type => "java"
path => "C:/Users/vivekkumar14/Desktop/ELK/elknew/logstashFiles/Myfile5.pdf"
#start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "C:/Users/vivekkumar14/Desktop/ELK/elknew/logstashFiles/Database7/sincedb-access"
stat_interval => 1

codec => multiline {
  pattern => "^\s"
  #negate => "true"
  what => "previous"
}

}
}

filter {
grok {
match => { "message" => "%{IP:client}%{SPACE}%{WORD:method}%{SPACE}%{URIPATHPARAM:request} %{NUMBER:bytes} %{NUMBER:duration}" }
}
grok {
match => { "message" => "%{URIPATHPARAM:request} %{NUMBER:bytes} %{NUMBER:duration}" }
}
grok {
match => { "message" => "%{WORD:display} %{NUMBER:ratio} %{NUMBER:seconds}" }
}
}

output {

Sending properly parsed log events to elasticsearch

stdout {

I am asking how to input pdf file in logstash. Is there any option to input pdf file in logstash??.

No, I do not think so. I would recommend you look at FS crawler instead.
