Hi,

input file name format: free\_data\_09\_09\_18\_10.txt \<free\_data\_date\_month\_hour\_min\>

i want this time stamp also to be indexed along with input file data, trying with below logstash filter config which is not working as expected any suggestions?

* * *

input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}

filter {

grok { match =\> { "someField" =\> "free\_data\_(?[0-9\_]+).txt" } }  
date { match =\> ["ts", "dd\_MM\_HH\_mm"] }  
if [message] =~ /Mem:/ {  
dissect { mapping =\> {'message' =\> '%{mem\_type-\>} %{total\_mem-\>} %{used\_mem-\>} %{free\_mem-\>} %{shared\_mem-\>} %{cache\_mem-\>} %{availablemem}'} }  
} else if [message] =~ /Swap:/ {  
dissect { mapping =\> {'message' =\> '%{mem\_type-\>} %{total\_mem-\>} %{used\_mem-\>} %{free\_mem-\>}'} }  
}

}

## output { if [service\_name] == "cfx" { elasticsearch { #path =\> "/var/log/sdl\_logs/%{vnf\_id}/%{vm\_type}/%{instance\_id}/%{service\_name}/%{app\_name}\_%{+yyyy-MM-dd-HH}.log" #codec =\> line { format =\> "%{message}" } #gzip =\> true hosts =\> ["[http://x.x.x.x:9200](http://x.x.x.x:9200)"] index =\> "freedata"
