Problem with Fake Log in Logshash

Elastic Stack Logstash
1
  1. I install Elastic (no problem)
  2. I install Kibana (no problem)
  3. I run Logshtast with argument:

./logstash -f apache_config.conf

apache_config.conf

input {
file {
path => "/var/log/my_apache_logs/*.log"
}
}
filter {
grok {
match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}"}
}
geoip {
source => "clientip"
add_field => [ "[geoip][coordinates]", "%{[geoip][longitude]}" ]
add_field => [ "[geoip][coordinates]", "%{[geoip][latitude]}" ]
}

mutate {
convert => { "[geoip][coordinates]" => "float" }
}
}
output {
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
elasticsearch {
hosts => [ "localhost:9200" ]
index => "logstash-apache-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
}

In /var/log/my_apache_logs/*.log i generated Fake Log from

I can't read that fake log from Kibana CLI (menagement).
I can't read that fake log from localhost:9200 (no password)
X-pack is not installed

What's a problem??

PS
I will be grateful for your help

Seems no error with conf file. If input size is huge, logstash take some time to push pipeline events.

try running logstash in debug mode.
./logstash -f apache_config.conf --debug

3

Logstash is tailing the log file you generated. Look into the start_position option for the file input and read the file input documentation in general to understand how it maintains the current state of the monitored files.

4

It's only 100 events.
I try with --debug mode - not help

5

Can you explain exactly?
I starting using Elastic and don't know how.

Respond from Kibana:
