Hello, guys!

I'm sending сyrillic text in Elastisearch and InfluxDB.  
With the Elastisearch, there are no problems, but in InfluxDB text encoding is broken.  
Can anybody help?

Problem is solved. Incorrect encoding is present if the logstash installed on Windows. When logstash installed on Linux, everything is fine.
