Hi @yahoo, Did you resolve this problem : "_Logstash is run it will start reading from the beginning of the file._ if yes, could you explain to me how, please ? ---

Yes. I did. after many trials and roaming through the web. I am in a windows environment. What worked for me is the sincedb path points o a file in an area that I have permission for r/w/m ``` sincedb_path => "D:\dir1\dir2\..\.sincedb_gpuz" ``` Please let me know if it works for you ---

Thank you, I did the same but I made a mistake see my post : [Duplicated logs from logstash after append logs - #5 by carmelom](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/duplicated-logs-from-logstash-after-append-logs/39097/5) and I sort it out with this command line : > echo "test log message" \>\> logfile.log PS: my logstash is not working very well in Windows and I moved to Ubuntu and it is easier to manage ---

this is what is in my logstash-conf file. indexes are not getting created in elasticsearch. I am getting the no such index error ([http://localhost:9200/logstash-2016.01.19/\_search?q=response=200](http://localhost:9200/logstash-2016.01.19/_search?q=response=200)). I am using windows 7. what am I doing wrong? please help input { file { path =\> "C:\Users\rx1234\Documents\tmp\logstash-tutorial" start\_position =\> beginning } } filter { grok { match =\> { "message" =\> "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}"} } geoip { source =\> "clientip" } } output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] } stdout {} } ---

Try to add this line in to your configuration: > [@yahoo](#): > > sincedb\_path =\> "D:\dir1\dir2...sincedb\_gpuz" or : `sincedb_path =>"/dev/null"` ( may is only for linux ) or `sincedb_path => "null"`( may this is for windows ) then verify if logstash is creating the index : `curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v` or `http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v` ---

added sincedb\_path =\> "null" to the config file. Output from logstash pasted below. Still no index. Since stdout {} statement is also there in conf file, if index did get created, shouldn't there be some stdout statements? Any other ideas?

found the problem -- needed an extension to the input file. the ".txt" was missing earlier logstash-tutorial-dataset.txt ---

> [@carmelom](#): > > [Parsing Logs with Logstash | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/advanced-pipeline.html) I actually been trying this example explained here [Parsing Logs with Logstash | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/advanced-pipeline.html) and as most of you got the Logstash Index Error. I added the sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null" but no luck only got this logstash-config-files]$ ../logstash-2.3.4/bin/logstash -f ./first-pipeline.conf Settings: Default pipeline workers: 12 Pipeline main started . THIS WOULD stall like this for whatever it takes with no output, and while checking with the output from Elasticsearch still doesn't have index: $ curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/logstash-$DATE/\_search?pretty&q=response=200' { "error" : { "root\_cause" : [ { "type" : "index\_not\_found\_exception", "reason" : "no such index", "resource.type" : "index\_or\_alias", "resource.id" : "logstash-$DATE", "index" : "logstash-$DATE" } ], "type" : "index\_not\_found\_exception", "reason" : "no such index", "resource.type" : "index\_or\_alias", "resource.id" : "logstash-$DATE", "index" : "logstash-$DATE" }, "status" : 404 } FYI, using stdout {} instead of elasticsearch give me some output but I really need to test this with Elasticsearch but no luck. bearing in mind elasticsearch is running and the log file is in the right path which I made sure of ! Thanks, ---
