Team,

Greeting of the day!

I like know how to read values which are saved in redis-server under the key and I have an input setting like this:

input {  
redis {  
host =\> "127.0.0.1"  
# these settings should match the output of the agent  
data\_type =\> "list"  
key =\> "Mneal"  
codec =\> "json"  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "neal-redis-devicestbl-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
stdout {  
codec =\> rubydebug  
}  
}

Next when I run logstash it gives me an error: [logstash.inputs.redis] Redis connection problem {:exception=\>#\<Redis::CommandError: ERR Error running script (call to some\_value): @user\_script:2: WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value\>}

ELK stack version: 7.2

Note: redis keys are in hash value but I like to know how to pass hash value via logstash?

Redis Cli - output for your reference:  
127.0.0.1:6379\> keys \*

1. "Mneal"  
127.0.0.1:6379\> type Mneal  
hash  
127.0.0.1:6379\>

Can you guys please help me here!

Many Thanks,  
Madhu
