Hi.
I have a problem with my input and pipeline. i'm new with pipelines and json filter.
I don't know how to get logstash filter my json files and send to elasticsearch.
This a exemple of my json file:
> {"tenantID": 80454, "Size": 0.02, "FirstDate": "21/12/2019 08:29:08", "LastDate": "21/12/2019 22:45:32"}
And this is my actual pipeline for json files:
> input {
> file {
> type =\> "json"
> path =\> "/usr/share/logstash/inputlogs/\*.json"
> start\_position =\> "beginning"
> sincedb\_path =\> "/usr/share/logstash/.sincedb"
> }
> }
>
> filter {
>
> ```
> json {
> source => "message"
> }
>
> ```
>
> }
>
> output {
> elasticsearch {
> hosts =\> "elasticsearch:9200"
> index =\> "lab-benchmarking-json"
> }
> stdout {}
> }
what it's wrong with my pipeline??
Thanks for advanced.

Thanks for advanced.

Have you checked /var/log/logstash for any errors?
Have you created the index in elasticsearch first before trying to index? Do this through Kibana

Don't show any error.
Index is created on logstash with output.
