Hi All , I am uploading log from a json file . Logstash filter is working . But the same time 2 times log is uploading to elasticsearch , with log date and current date . example : jason log {"index": {"\_index":"server-metrics","\_type":"metric","\_id":"680464"}} {"@timestamp":"2017-04-15T00:07:00","accept":34258,"deny":7049,"host":"server\_2","response":2.5074651,"service":"app\_3","total":41307} {"index": {"\_index":"server-metrics","\_type":"metric","\_id":"680465"}} {"@timestamp":"2017-04-15T00:07:00","accept":11253,"deny":594,"host":"server\_3","response":2.2844904708,"service":"app\_2","total":11847} Logstash filter input{ file { start\_position =\> "beginning" path =\> "/home/elastic/elk/samplelog/server-metrics\_4.json" codec =\> "json" type =\> "json" } } output { stdout{ codec =\> rubydebug } elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["127.0.0.1:9200"] } Log is indexed to both at date "2017-04-15T00:07:00" and current date 9/1/2018 ---
