Hi, guys

I'm a newbee to FileBeat. Recently, I was trying to ship a custom json-format log file to ES. The file looks like this:

> {"id":"8cb66f382d418648d0a26f5de7369e315eb06a82","status":"running","configPath":"/mnt/sdb1/storj/storage1","uptime":"9d 5h 40m 22s","restarts":0,"peers":22,"allocs":29,"dataReceivedCount":0,"delta":"39ms","port":4000,"shared":"23.32MB","sharedPercent":"0","bridgeConnectionStatus":"connected"}  
> {"id":"1295583a1c2367f1eda991ab438519dbea1d4ef1","status":"running","configPath":"/mnt/sdb1/storj/storage3","uptime":"9d 5h 39m 56s","restarts":0,"peers":42,"allocs":33,"dataReceivedCount":0,"delta":"42ms","port":40002,"shared":"...","sharedPercent":"...","bridgeConnectionStatus":"connected"}

And the filebeat.yml :

> filebeat.prospectors:  
> -type: log  
> enabled: true  
> paths: - /root/data.json  
> json.keys\_under\_root: true  
> json.overwrite\_keys: true  
> json.add\_error\_key: true  
> json.message\_key: log  
> output.elasticsearch:  
> hosts: ["192.168.8.232:9200"]  
> #Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.  
> #protocol: "https"  
> username: "elastic"  
> password: "LzxOPeLupVovJSmJTXkq"

I saw that the log file can be sended to ES. and I want to use kibana to show the json data, but except the default index filebeat\*, There is no index associated with the log file I want. What can I do now? Any suggestions , Thank you .

Hi @Kevin.Wu,

Filebeat sends logs to `filebeat-*` indices by default, if everything is working correctly your logs should appear there. Did you check in under that index pattern?

Best regards
