My logstash config file is simple and looks like the below.

input {  
redis {  
host =\> "localhost"  
port =\> "6379"  
key =\> "\*hdb\*"  
data\_type =\> "list"  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "%{key}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}

But it cannot work. It seems wildcard key cannot be supported by redis input plugin?

I believe you can only input a single key there.

Thanks. Is there any way to add pattern match to the keys?

Otherwise I have to list all the single keys and it is cumbersome
