Hello,  
I have an issue with the logs received by my Logstash. Their length is 0. I don't know why. Could it be related to Logstash?  
Thank you

Hi @Manal_A ,

**You can manually check the logs** : Use a `stdout` output in your Logstash configuration to directly inspect the logs before they are sent to the final output.

**Example:**

```auto
output {
  stdout {
    codec => rubydebug
  }
}

```
