Hi,

My logstash conf is as below.

input {  
s3 {  
access\_key\_id =\> ""  
secret\_access\_key =\> ""  
bucket =\> "tabprod-s3data"  
region =\> "us-west-2"  
}  
}

filter {  
json {  
source =\> "message"  
remove\_field =\> ["message"]  
}  
#mutate {add\_field =\>{"channelId" =\> "indexid" }}  
}

output {  
amazon\_es {  
hosts =\> ["[https://orlvialrzsqaufa5232n3rces.amazonaws.com](https://orlvialrzsqaufa5232n3rces.amazonaws.com)"]  
region =\> "us-west-2"  
aws\_access\_key\_id =\> ""  
aws\_secret\_access\_key =\> ""  
index =\> "channel\_%{channelId}"  
}  
}

I am writing a file from s3 to elasticsearch using logstash.

When I run logstash as a cli command, it works perfectly fine. ( Loads all 200k records from the file).

But If I run it as a service, the logstash keep on loading the same file again and again.  
I have waited for long thinking some problem with the checkpointing, but it loaded till 9 folds and was still continuing.

Where and what should I be checking/modifying to avoid this behaviour?

Thanks,  
Harish
