Hi,
I am trying to have 2 outputs in my config file. One elastic search and other csv. But my csv file is not getting generated.
Below is my conf file -
input{
kafka{
bootstrap\_servers =\> "10.100.208.97:9092"
topics =\> ['logstash']
decorate\_events =\> true
}
}
filter{
grok{
match =\> ['message', '%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:@timestamp} %{DATA:Arch} %{DATA:Server}: %{DATA:Junk} %{WORD:Info} %{GREEDYDATA:log\_message}']
break\_on\_match =\> false
}
```
grok{
match => ['message', '..Workaround..']
add_tag => 'workaround'
tag_on_failure => []
break_on_match => true
}
```
grok{
match =\> ['message', '..ZTR..']
add\_tag =\> 'ztr'
tag\_on\_failure =\> []
break\_on\_match =\> true
}
}
output{
elasticsearch{
hosts =\> ['localhost:9200']
index =\> "logs"
user =\> logstash\_internal\_logs
password =\> changeme
}
```
if [tags] == "ztr"{
csv {
fields => ["message"]
path => "/home/elk/ztr.csv"
}
}
stdout{ codec => rubydebug}
```
}

What does `stdout{ codec => rubydebug}` produce for an event that doesn't end up in the CSV?

It doesnt give out anything on console. It just shows the json which was fed to elastic search.
