[Alaoui (Ali)]

I want to upload a json file but it doesn t work, this is my config file

input{
file{
type => "json"
path => "D:\Js.json"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}
filter{

json{
	source => "message"
}

}
output{
elasticsearch{
hosts => "localhost:9200"
index => "xoxoxo"
document_type => "xoxoxofiles"
}
stdout{}
}

and this my json file :

{"menu": {
"id": "file",
"value": "File",
"popup": {
"menuitem": [
{"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},
{"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},
{"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}
]
}
}}

Are you sure you want to use logstash for that?

[Alaoui (Ali)]

yes , because my boss told me to upload 100 json files using logstash what i should to use then !!!!!

[dadoonet (David Pilato)]

curl in a shell script...
I mean that I'd not try to complicate things unless you need to do advanced transformations...

Unless you want to share secret settings, I prefer keeping the discussion here as it can help the community and the community can also help.

@Alaoui

sincedb_path => "/dev/null"

This is the setting for Linux, but as it looks like you are using Windows it should probably be sincedb_path => "NUL" instead.

As your JSON object seems to span multiple lines, you will need to also use a multiline codec.

@Alaoui

document_type => "xoxoxofiles"

Recent version of Elasticsearch only support a single type per index, so you can probably remove this.
