Set _type in logstash

Elastic Stack Logstash
#1

Hi experts.

As per my research

  • index (Elastic Search) -> database (RDMS)
  • type (Elastic Search) -> table (RDMS)

Can i know how i can set the type?

input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
    ...
    type => "%{[fields][name_of_log]}"
  }
}
  ...
output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
    index => "%{[fields][name_of_index]}"
  }
}
Filebeat fields value unable to use it in logstash configuration file

Your research seems to be outdated, there is no types in elasticsearch anymore and you should not rely on types in index for anything.

Which version of the stack are you using?

I recommend that you read about the removal of mapping types.

thanks i am using 7.* version. So i can assume index will be the same join as database and table name
