Hello,

I am having problem with loading log file from logstash to elasticsearch. Could you please help?

Input file line {TYPE:POS, LOCATION:001, DESK:4010, TRAN:1516}  
Out put expecting:-  
"TYPE" : POS  
"LOCATION" : 001  
"DESK" : 4010  
"TRAN" : 1516

But corresponding values not showing when loading into Kibana...  
logstash config:-

input {  
file{  
path =\> "/Users/Dashboard/POSTEST.log"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
}  
}

filter  
{  
grok{  
match =\> { "message" =\> "%{WORD:TYPE}, %{NUMBER:LOCATION}, %{NUMBER:DESK}, %{NUMBER:TRAN} " }  
}  
kv {

```
    value_split => ","

```

}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["127.0.0.1:9200"] }  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}

Kibana:-

@timestamp May 9th 2016, 00:34:06.307  
t@version 1  
t\_id abcgsHSKK  
t\_index logstash-2016.05.09  
#\_score  
t\_type logs  
thost [AVBHGSKL.abcdefgh.net](http://AVBHGSKL.abcdefgh.net)  
tmessage {TYPE:POS, LOCATION:001, DESK:4010, TRAN:1516}  
tpath /Users/Dashboard/POSTEST.log

I think your grok pattern needs work, take a look at [http://grokdebug.herokuapp.com/](http://grokdebug.herokuapp.com/) to see if you can get that 100%.
