Hi Experts,
I need to retrieve log file data based on specific data range on epoch timestamp using Filebeat?
Can any one let me know where can i apply the filter or query?
Ex: My Log file had data from Oct 01 2016 till Oct 07 2016, but i want to get the data only from Oct 02 2016 using Epoch timestamp.
Thanks,
Jagan

You cannot do this with Filebeat, you'd need to ship them to Logstash and then drop the ones you don't want there.

If you'd like an SLA we can refer you to someone, otherwise please have some patience as this is a community driven forum 🙂
