Hi. I am having troubles at indexing logs from  
Redis, which takes data from log file as an input.(i.e. trying to  
use shipper to Redis).

shipper.conf  
input{  
file{  
type =\> "filelog"  
path =\> ["directory/to/logfile/search.log","directory/to/log/file"]  
}  
}  
filter{

}  
output{  
redis{  
host =\> "redishost:6379"  
data\_type =\> "list"  
key =\> "logstash"  
codec =\> json  
}  
}

logsss.conf  
input {  
redis {  
host =\> "redishost"  
key =\> "logstash"  
data\_type =\> "list"  
codec =\> json  
type =\> "redis"  
tags =\> ["redis"]  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["elastichost:9200"]  
sniffing =\> false  
manage\_template =\> false  
index =\> "test"  
document\_type =\> "first"  
}  
}

The issue was in the key of data. We must use static names , should use static(for example, type =\> "logstash%{type}").  
Logstash can't blpop static named keys
