Hi,

I'm working on logstash-filter-cipher to encode and decode the data. But nothing is coming up.

I have an "ID" field and I want to encode it. The code that I was using is as follows.

input {  
elasticsearch {  
host =\> ["localhost"]  
index =\> "test  
}  
}

filter {  
cipher {  
algorithm =\> "aes-256-cbc"  
cipher\_padding =\> 1  
iv =\> "1234567890123456"  
key =\> "12345678901234567890123456789012"  
key\_size =\> 32  
mode =\> "encrypt"  
source =\> "ID"  
target =\> "ID\_crypted"  
base64 =\> true  
}  
cipher {  
algorithm =\> "aes-256-cbc"  
cipher\_padding =\> 1  
iv =\> "1234567890123456"  
key =\> "12345678901234567890123456789012"  
key\_size =\> 32  
mode =\> "decrypt"  
source =\> "ID\_crypted"  
target =\> "ID\_decrypted"  
base64 =\> true  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch\_http  
{  
host =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "new\_test"  
index\_type =\> "new\_test"  
}  
stdout {  
codec =\> json  
#codec =\> rubydebug  
}  
}

Please look in to the code and please suggest me if any modifications required 🙂

Regards,  
Sanjay Reddy
