Hi there, i have LS and ES are runing,but there is nothing printed in ES or LS. this is pipeline config. input { file { path =\> "access\_log.txt" } } filter { grok { match =\> { "message" =\> "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}" } } } output { elasticsearch { hosts =\>"localhost:9200" } stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } } My question is how can see the content of the file parsed. thank you for your help ---

Try out just only debug part: ``` input { file { path => "access_log.txt" } } filter { grok { match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}" } } } output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } } ``` If still no output, remove filter, it mean something is wrong with filter and nothing match. pts0 ---

Thank you @pts0 for your answer,i removed filter but i still get nothing. note : i have those messages on: logstash host : localhost:9600 ``` host: "user", version: "5.4.0", http_address: "127.0.0.1:9600", id: "03de77c0-a3be-4ff8-b77a-4c37686d4165", name: "user", build_date: "2017-04-28T18:14:40Z", build_sha: "0037bc8cf2e9ff169bf5a08b1946c62dbeb92f9b", build_snapshot: false ``` elasticsearch host:localhost:9200 ``` name: "node1", cluster_name: "elasticsearch", cluster_uuid: "kKbMy9_LRw-CcELir6KcFQ", version: { number: "5.4.0", build_hash: "780f8c4", build_date: "2017-04-28T17:43:27.229Z", build_snapshot: false, lucene_version: "6.5.0" }, tagline: "You Know, for Search" ``` I am grateful for your help. ---

Hi, I have a similar problem, I'm trying to debug one of my logstash inputs by sending the output using "stdout" plugin. This is not working. The logstash log remains unchanged and there are no additional logs in the directory. Any help, Elastic? ---

when i was using it was working, but is quite a while. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-stdout.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-stdout.html) maybe try plain sdtout, you may miss ruby library or somethis similar. Can you start logstash in with high debug mode ? `bin/logstash --debug --log.level trace --config.debug` just to try, not in production ---

when i start the debug,i get those errors: `ERROR Unable to create file ${sys:ls.logs}/logstash-${sys:ls.log.format}.log java.io.IOException: La syntaxe du nom de fichier, de répertoire ou de volume est incorrecte` and in the end No configuration file was specified.

is the file `pipeline.conf` in bin directory ? If not you should give the full qualified path oder relative to where you are (you probably don't need autorelad now). ---
