I know I can watch files entering in a folder with logstash using the following syntax:
input {
file {
type => "mytype"
path => "/home/user/watchedFolder"
start_position => "beginning"
codec => json
}
}
However, I have files with different extensions entering this folder... Let's say I have both .json
and .txt
files. I'd like to make my input field detect only .json
files. Is it possible? Can I make the input filter detect only files with specific extensions?
