Log File is not being created with logstash output config

DGMurthy · July 16, 2018, 9:03am

Hi All,

I am trying to create a log file(txt) by configuring logstash output section with codec => json_lines, logstash is running successful but file is not been created . Mean time i am not doing any filters, once i started logstash just want to create a log file is my scenario

input {

file {
    path => "C:\LogStash_Log_Input\LogStashInputLog.log"
    start_position => "beginning"
codec => "plain"
}

}
filter {

}

output {
file {
path => "C:\LogStash\LogstashPortalLogs/Roche_%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.log"
codec => json_lines
}
}

I have verified about plugins the following are already available

logstash-output-file & logstash-codec-json_lines

I would like to request you that please suggest me what i missed out.

Thanks & Regards,

DG Murthy

It's quite possible that the File Input Plugin has already processed the files and remembers doing so via its sincedb. Can you find and delete the sincedb, and then try again? By default, it's in <path.data>/plugins/inputs/file.

Otherwise, what are the logs from Logstash telling you? Can you start Logstash with --log.level=debug?

DGMurthy · July 18, 2018, 11:17am

Thank you so much for your reply . I have been verified sincedb and it contains 0 0 0 0

I have configured logstash.yml and pipelines.yml file

path.config: "/Logstash/bin/LogFileCreate.conf"

My logfilecreate.conf is see the below

input {
# Monitor a file. The path can be network or local
file {
path => "C:\LogStash_Log_Input/LogStashInputLog.log"
start_position => "beginning"
codec => json_lines

}
filter {
grok {
match => { "severity" => "warning" }
add_tag => ["warning"]
}
}

output {

if "warning" in [tags] {
file {

  		path => "C:\LogStash\LogstashPortalLogs/Roche_%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.log"
		
	codec => json_lines
  }
 }
 else {
            stdout {
                    codec => rubydebug
            }
    }

}

When i run the logstash from windows command prompt
C:\LogStash\Bin\logstash -f LogFileCreate.conf the logs is showing as below

Please kindly look into this and help me.

If you could paste pre-formatted text like configs and log output in-between code fences (~~~), it would really help to make your posts on this forum more readable -- there is also a preview pane that help you see what your post will look like before you send it.

Can you repeat with debug logging enabled? The command-line flag --log.level debug is useful here.

DGMurthy · July 19, 2018, 8:48am

I can understand your concerns, sorry for that i am new to this forum and new to logstash . After i enabled debug please see below log file info.

i faced the same issue but i tried if "_grokparsefailure" in [tags] instead of the warning and removed the filter tag.It worked. And please ensure the output directory has the read,write permissions

DGMurthy:

filter {
grok {
match => { "severity" => "warning" }
add_tag => ["warning"]
}
}

output {

if "warning" in [tags] {
file {
  		path => "C:\LogStash\LogstashPortalLogs/Roche_%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.log"
		
	codec => json_lines
  }
 }
 else {
            stdout {
                    codec => rubydebug
            }
    }
}

Please find my config file.

input {

stdin {}

file {
path => "/home/files/value.log"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}

output {
file {
path => "/home/files/value1.log"
}
}

So it created a new file in home/files folder

So your conf file would be the same

input {

stdin {}

file {
path => "C:\LogStash_Log_Input/LogStashInputLog.log"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}

output {
file {
path => "C:\LogStash\LogstashPortalLogs/Roche_%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.log"
}
}

Please ensure that your file path is correct

path => "C:\LogStash\LogstashPortalLogs\Roche_%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.log" . Please check the slashes i think you have given the backward slashes in the last.

DGMurthy · July 20, 2018, 4:43am

DGMurthy · July 20, 2018, 5:00am

Thanks for your information. Yes the folder exists and i tried with backword slashes/forward slashes and only c drive path but in all scenarios same issue persists.
