Good evening community,

I'm new to elastic and logstash and I'm doing some work on twitter's feelings analysis.

I created this .json file:

input {  
twitter {  
consumer\_key =\> ".."  
consumer\_secret =\> "..."  
oauth\_token =\> "..."  
oauth\_token\_secret =\> "..."  
keywords =\> ["@user"]  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
index =\> "twitter\_ex"  
id =\> "teste1\_id"  
}  
}

But if within the keywords array insert the user name in order to get your tweets (eg @asas) I get quite a few errors. The question is:

1- Is it possible to search for twittes of a specific user?

2- Using this file and using a particular keyword, I get recent results, is there any way to get older results for a better analysis?

Thank you and I apologize for the questions.

Greetings,  
Lbr1
