I am using logstahs 2.3.4 and trying to parse thte json data. sometimes i am getting invalid json. I tried adding the skip\_on\_invalid\_json =\> 'true'. inside the json filter

i am getting error and not giving any details. it is prety generic error

:reason=\>"Something is wrong with your configuration.", :level=\>:error}←[0

skip\_on\_invalid\_json - can i use this property in logstash 2.3.4? if yes, what could be the reasons for the error.

Appreciate your help.

The Logstash 2.3 documentation will tell you which options are available for each plugin bundled with that release.
