I need to have different entries in logstash and depending on the input source to apply a given output. For example this is my setup:
input {
jmx {
path =\> "/config-dir/jmx"
polling\_frequency =\> 10
type =\> "jmx"
}
beats {
codec =\> json {
charset =\> "UTF-8"
}
port =\> 5044
type =\> "beats"
}
}
output {
stdout {
codec =\> rubydebug
}
if [type] == "jmx" {
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> ["elasticsearch:9200"]
}
}
if [type] == "beats" {
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> ["elasticsearch:9200"]
manage\_template =\> false
index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
document\_type =\> "%{[@metadata][type]}"
}
}
}
however when I use the index Kibana topbeats I do not recognize any input. Any idea what could be the problem?

So you have a topbeat-yyyy.mm.dd index but it doesn't look like Topbeat data? What kind of data does it look like? Where does the data from Topbeat end up?
