Hello I am using logstash 5.6.9. I am simply trying to read from my local redis server and print it to console using logstash, here is my configuration 🙂

input {

```
redis {
	host => 'localhost'
	data_type => 'list'
	key => 'tutorials'
	type => 'redis-input'
}

```

}

output {stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } }

Still I am facing \_jsonparsefailure .

I am inserting data to my redis server using the following command.

```
LPUSH tutorials aaa
LPUSH tutorials aa
LPUSH tutorials a

```

Here is a snapshot of my error what I am doing wrong here.

Basically I want to get all the values under the key and check if a particular value exists.

Thank you

The redis input defaults to the json codec. If you're not sending JSON data you should configure it to use the plain codec.

Logstash will pop the values one by one. I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to accomplish.
