I have configured the logstash configuration as below to read the logs generated by spring boot to push into elastic search, but index is not creating even the logstash started successfully,
Please let me know how to fix
Conf file,
```auto
input {
file {
path => "C:/workspace/showmenow/logback/redditApp.log"
codec => "json"
type => "logback"
}
}
output {
if [type]=="logback" {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
index => "logback-test"
}
}
}
```
Here are the logs

Fixed by downgrading logstash from 7.1.1 to 6.2.4
and final conf
```auto
input {
file {
path => "C:/workspace/showmenow/logback/*.log"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "null"
codec => "json"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
action => "index"
hosts => "localhost:9200"
index => "showmeknow-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
}
```
