> [@vaishali1](#): > > [logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Using mapping template from {:path=\>nil} That is telling you that you did not provide the template configuration option on your elasticsearch output, so it is using the compiled-in default. It is a non-issue. ---

I am so sorry. The issue is I can't see the data in Kibana. I am very sure the problem is in output ---

> [@vaishali1](#): > > The issue is I can't see the data in Kibana. I suggest you adjust the stdout output to be "stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }" and then post what you get on stdout when it reads a line from the file. Alternatively, have you defined an index pattern that matches "test" (the index you are writing to)? If so, what do you see in the Discover panel in Kibana when viewing data in that index pattern? ---
