## logstash doesn't recognize type -document\_type in filebeat ',even instead type I set document\_type filebeat:

```
   paths:
     - C:\data\XL\ABPAuditLog_*.log
   input_type: log
   document_type: xlpc
   exclude_lines: ["Filename", "File Creation time","thread_id"]
   multiline.pattern: '^[[:digit:]]+;[[:digit:]]{4}-[[:digit:]]{2}-[[:digit:]]{2}[[:space:]]{1}[[:digit:]]{2}:[[:digit:]]{2}:[[:digit:]]{2}.[[:digit:]]{3};'
   multiline.negate: true
   multiline.match: after

```

logstash.conf:  
input {  
beats{  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}  
filter{
