Hi Team,

I am trying to pull the log information from tomcat catalina.out log file but I dont see any log information from catalina.out or error messages etc.

More information here would help.

What are you doing, are you using LS, what does your config look like, what do you expect to see?

I want to see the catalina.out log information in kibana so that I am using Logstash shipper to pull the log information. My basic config file looks below

input {  
file {  
type =\> "catalina-log"  
path =\> ["/var/log/tomcat8/catalina.out"]  
}  
}  
output {  
file {  
path =\> ["/tmp/logstash-shipper.log"]  
}  
redis { host =\> "0.0.0.0"  
data\_type =\> "list"  
key =\> "logstash"  
}  
}

This doesn't look right, are you trying to send to localhost?

This is an example I mentioned. actual will be host=\>"ServerIP".  
I configured logstash shipper for catalina.out log file along with catalina access well, but logstash shipper is able to pull log information from catalina access log but not from catalina.out
