Hi im very new to the ELK stack. Ive managed to get kibana, elasticsearch, logstash, and filebeat running together just from the elasticsearch tutorials. There is an html page that I downloaded which contains log data that I need to analyze. I was wondering if I could use logstash to pass the contents of that html file on to elasticsearch? If so how would I configure the config file? Everything is running on my machine. An example of what is in the html file is:
\<_td valign="top" align="left"\>
\2017.09.26 \
\
\05:34:04\
\<_/font\>
\
What I would need is the 2 date formats up there. I just dont know how to make the config file. For example would I do something like this?
input {
file {
type =\> "html"
path =\> "\ "beginning"
}
}
Thank you very much! and thank you for this community
