Logstash translate doesn't work

[mihai.radulescu]

Hello,

I have the following code:

input {
  file {
    path => "/home/path/files/*.csv"
    start_position => "beginning"
  }
}

filter {
      csv {
        columns => [ "xx1","xx2","xx3","xx4","Response","TimeStamp","Username","xx5" ]
     }
        date {
                        match => [ "TimeStamp", "yyyyMMddHHmmss" ]
                        locale => "en"
                }
        translate {
                dictionary_path => "/home/mihai/prefixes_trimmed.csv"
                field => "xx4"
                destination => "name"
                fallback => "Unknown Name"
        }
    }

output {
  elasticsearch {
  hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
  index => "mihai"
  }
 }

The prefix is a substring of first 5 or 6 digits from xx4 field. I expect the variable "name" to contain the second column from prefixes_trimmed.csv, if a prefix match is made.

When tested, nothing is happening, no data is inserted.

Can you please help me with the correct translate sentence to make this work?

Best Regards,

A translate filter does not match prefixes, it does exact matches by default. If you can modify the csv then the regex option to the filter may be useful.

Hi Badger,
Thanks for the answer.
I think I managed to get around that.
I have another question now. How do I make multiple translations?

Hi,
I managed to make it working like this:

filter {
        translate {
...
        }

        translate {
...
        }
}

Best Regards,
