I believe automatic reloading of config [was introduced in Logstash 2.3](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/2.3/logstash-2-3.html), which would explain why it works on 5.4 but not with version 2.1. ---

Thank you for your quick response. i have installed 2.3 and it's working fine now. Need one more help . my logs file look like below. logfile { "SourceId" : "123", "EventId" : "6", "Keywords" : "2", "Level" : "ve", "Message" : "", "Opcode" : "Info", "Task" : "123 Information", "Version" : "0", "Timestamp" : "2018-09-10T15:09:29.9617308Z", "Payload\_message" : "Received Message", "Payload\_Service Name" : "home", "Payload\_OriginatingMessageId" : "123", "Payload\_Status" : "OK", "EOE" : "" } { "SourceId" : "1234", "EventId" : "6", "Keywords" : "2", "Level" : "ver", "Message" : "", "Opcode" : "Infy", "Task" : "123 Information", "Version" : "0", "Timestamp" : "2018-09-10T15:09:29.9617308Z", "Payload\_message" : "Received Message", "Payload\_Service Name" : "homes", "Payload\_OriginatingMessageId" : "1234", "Payload\_Status" : "OK", "EOE" : "" } logstash configuration input { file { path =\> "C:\Logs\testingfilebeat.log" start\_position =\> "beginning" } } filter { if [path] =~ "access" { mutate { replace =\> { "type" =\> "Applog" } } grok { match =\> { "message" =\> "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}" } } } json { source =\> "message" } } as of now it's taking the individual line in one record. ## OUTPUT ## { "message" =\> "{\r", "@version" =\> "1", "@timestamp" =\> "2018-09-11T13:20:32.973Z", "path" =\> "C:\Logs\testingfilebeat.log", "host" =\> "dev1" } { "message" =\> ""SourceId" : "1234",\r", "@version" =\> "1", "@timestamp" =\> "2018-09-11T13:20:32.973Z", "path" =\> "C:\Medseek\Logs\testingfilebeat.log", "host" =\> "dev1" } problem is it's storing the individual line in to one record, like { is storing one record and source id storing another record . i need to store { to } totally in one record . what configuration need to do .. could you please help me on this regards gopi ---
