Set _type in logstash

[navin1093]

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]}"
  }
}

Your research seems to be outdated, there is no types in elasticsearch anymore and you should not rely on types in index for anything.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