I don't see any need for `type => "bdu"` and remove from output

```auto
input {
  file {
    path => "/home/user/Documents/bdu/*.json" # is it documents or Documents?
    start_position => "beginning"
    sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
    codec => "json"
  }
}
output {
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

```

First start with debug, then go to opensearch.If this is multiline JSON, you have to use the multiline codec, check [the sample](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/still-facing-an-issue-with-json-multiline/344168/2).
