Hi, I am trying to create a vritualization for adit.log. I have the config file as follows. ``` input { file { path => ["/var/log/audit/audit.log"] start_position => beginning sincedb_path => "/dev/null" ignore_older => 0 } } filter { grok { match => { "pattern" => "type=%{WORD:audit_type} msg=audit\(%{NUMBER:audit_epoch}:%{NUMBER:audit_counter}\): pid=%{NUMBER:audit_pid} uid=%{NUMBER:audit_uid} auid=%{NUMBER:audit_audid} ses=%{NUMBER:ses} subj=%{GREEDYDATA:subj} msg=\'op=%{WORD:operation}:%{WORD:detail_operation} grantors=%{WORD:grnt}.%{WORD:detail_grnt} acct=\"%{WORD:acct_user}\" exe=\"%{GREEDYDATA:exec}\" hostname=%{GREEDYDATA:hostname} addr=%{GREEDYDATA:ipaddr} terminal=%{WORD:terminal} res=%{WORD:result}\'" } add_tag => "selinux_audit" } } output { elasticsearch { hosts => ["localhost:9200"] index => "logs" } } ``` I was seeing`_grokparsefailure` tags all over Kibana dashboard. When I am trying to create an index. I am not able to pull the fields. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/e/ae96542b48df094fd060e585a6c97c50893d333f.png) When I checked the logstash logs, this is what I can see. ``` [2017-04-05T08:56:47,063][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Using mapping template from {:path=>nil} [2017-04-05T08:56:47,098][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Attempting to install template {:manage_template=>{"template"=>"logstash-*", "version"=>50001, "settings"=>{"index.refresh_interval"=>"5s"}, "mappings"=>{"_default_"=>{"_all"=>{"enabled"=>true, "norms"=>false}, "dynamic_templates"=>[{"message_field"=>{"path_match"=>"message", "match_mapping_type"=>"string", "mapping"=>{"type"=>"text", "norms"=>false}}}, {"string_fields"=>{"match"=>"*", "match_mapping_type"=>"string", "mapping"=>{"type"=>"text", "norms"=>false, "fields"=>{"keyword"=>{"type"=>"keyword"}}}}}], "properties"=>{"@timestamp"=>{"type"=>"date", "include_in_all"=>false}, "@version"=>{"type"=>"keyword", "include_in_all"=>false}, "geoip"=>{"dynamic"=>true, "properties"=>{"ip"=>{"type"=>"ip"}, "location"=>{"type"=>"geo_point"}, "latitude"=>{"type"=>"half_float"}, "longitude"=>{"type"=>"half_float"}}}}}}}} [2017-04-05T08:56:47,104][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] New Elasticsearch output {:class=>"LogStash::Outputs::ElasticSearch", :hosts=>[#]} [2017-04-05T08:56:47,172][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Starting pipeline {"id"=>"main", "pipeline.workers"=>2, "pipeline.batch.size"=>125, "pipeline.batch.delay"=>5, "pipeline.max_inflight"=>250} [2017-04-05T08:56:47,470][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Pipeline main started [2017-04-05T08:56:47,545][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=>9604} ``` Kindly help TIA. ---

It does indeed look like your grok pattern is not working, which means no fields are getting parsed. Can you paste a raw log line so we can see what its looks like (not picture of text or screenshot)? ---
