Hello, I am using fluentd as data collector. But milliseconds from time is getting removed. Can you please suggest a solution to keep milliseconds in generated output.
Time is getting parsed only when I specify logstash\_format true. But because of this indices are getting created as 'Logstash\*\*' even if I specify index name. If I don't specify 'logstash\_format true ' then except time field everything is getting parsed.
Here is my fluentd configuration file,
type tail tag json.nwdata path /etc/td-agent/access.log pos\_file /etc/td-agent/access.log.pos format json time\_format %Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S read\_from\_head true time\_key time include\_time\_key true
\
type elasticsearch
logstash\_format true
time\_key time
flush\_interval 10s # for testing
index\_name jsonlog
type\_name jsonlogtype

You'll probably have more luck on the Fliuentd forums/lists/etc 🙂
