{:text=\>"\u0000\x FF\u0001\u0000\u0000$\u0000\r\u0000 \u0000\u001E\u0006\u0001\u0006\ u0002\u0006\u0003\u0005\u0001\u0005\u0002\u0005\u0003\u0004\u0001\u0 004\u0002\u0004\u0003\u0003\u0001\u0003\u0002\u0003\u0003\u0002\u000 1\u0002\u0002\u0002\u0003", :expected\_charset=\>"UTF-8"}

I tried changing the charset

input {  
tcp {  
port =\> 5153  
id =\> "dlp-input"  
codec =\> json {  
charset =\> "ASCII-8BIT"  
}
