Hello, I am using all curent versions of the ELK stack and shipping with log-courier. I am shipping .gz files and they are being shipped but not uncompressed while using the gz\_lines codec. input { courier { port =\> 9020 type =\> "gzip" ssl\_certificate =\> "/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt" ssl\_key =\> "/etc/pki/tls/private/logstash-forwarder.key" codec =\> gzip\_lines } } this is my current input .. Any idea on how to get this to work? Thanks!! ---
