Hi there,
i created some filter for nginx logs discribed at this website: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-config-for-filebeat-modules.html#parsing-nginx](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-config-for-filebeat-modules.html#parsing-nginx)
Logstash shows me some error:
] An unexpected error occurred! {:error=\>#\, :backtrace=\>["org/logstash/ext/JrubyEventExtLibrary.java:205:in `sprintf'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-7.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/common.rb:168:in`event\_action\_params'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-7.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/common.rb:44:in `event_action_tuple'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-7.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/common.rb:38:in`multi\_receive'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:2414:in `map'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-7.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/common.rb:38:in`multi\_receive'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/output\_delegator\_strategies/shared.rb:13:in `multi_receive'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/output_delegator.rb:49:in`multi\_receive'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:436:in `output_batch'", "org/jruby/RubyHash.java:1342:in`each'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:435:in `output_batch'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:381:in`worker\_loop'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:342:in `start\_workers'"]}
After a couple of time it starts running.
When i wanted to add some other logs without any filter i got the same error and logstash crashes.
Is there any default filter then i am able to read other logs not only nginx? Last time i used Logstash in version 3 or so.. sooo many thinks are different and it seems not adoptable.
Is there any easy way to read more logs then only nginx?
Cheers
Daniel
