i am trying to monitor some servers in my small-mid network using ELK.

my configuration file:

> Blockquote

input{  
file{  
path =\> "/opt/experis-cyber/sys-monitor/log/monitor-sys-1507188302096.json"  
start\_position =\>"beginning"  
type =\> "sys"  
}  
}  
filter{  
}  
output{  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\>["10.10.20.13:9200"]  
index =\> ["monitor"]   
}  
stdout {  
codec =\> rubydebug  
}  
}

> Blockquote

logs:

> **[\[2017-10-09T12:38:09,271\]\[INFO \]\[logstash.modules.scaffold\] Initializing...](https://pastebin.com/eYg4TgnZ)**
>

Is any data displayed to the ruby debug output?

-\>If no, then the records were probably already processed and you need to start with new sincedb file, you could add this to the file input to test from scratch :  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"  
ignore\_older =\> 0

-\>If yes, then do you get an error related to the elasticsearch output plugin (comment out the stdout output so you remove the noise). Check that curl -XGET [http://10.10.20.13:9200](http://10.10.20.13:9200) returns the expected ES cluster data
