Hi,

I have setup an ELK and run winlogbeat and filebeat. Winlogbeat logs displayed in the kibana interface but the syslog from the devices not showing up. when i do a tcpdump port 5544(the port i have setup to listen for syslog messages, it shows the FQDN name of the device which send the syslogs.

my file in /etc/logstash/conf.d/01-beats-input.conf  
input{  
syslog {  
port =\> 5544  
type =\> 'syslog'  
}  
}

but when i do as follows it gives and error messages but shows the logs in kibana  
input{  
syslog {  
port =\> 5544  
type =\> 'syslog'  
codec =\> json  
}  
}

please let me know what i am doing wrong here did i miss anything. hope to hear from you ASAP
