"sort" : [
{ "@timestamp" : {"order" : "asc"}}
]
When i use timestamp to sort data in order,if 2 datas have the same timestamp i'm not able to get the data in logstash processed order.plz help
If you are reading the data using Filebeat, there is an offset parameter provided that describes the position within the file. You should be able to use this as a secondary sorting key to get the correct order.
I'm not using Filebeat . Is there any other possibility??
The Logstash file input does not record this, and there is an issue around it that has been open a long time. I would recommend using Filebeat, as this now is the recommended way to read files.
I'll give it a try. Is there a way we can add unique id's along with grok pattern
I do not understand how this relates to the sorting. If it is not related to the sorting and you just want to prevent duplicates, read this blog post.
My Concern is not regarding duplicate values.I just want the data from elastic search to
be in the same order as it is in the log file
For that you need the offset unless there is some kind of sequence or line number in the log file you can extract and use.
Thank you very much
How to use multiline codec along with beats plugin, its showing an error "Multiline codec with beats input is not supported"?
One more problem is that when i try setting 2 outputs in filebeats.yml file i'm getting an error message "more than one namespace configured accessing 'output' "
Filebeat has support for multiline processing, and you should always perform multiline processing as close to the source as possible.

How to fix this?
As far as I know Filebeat only supports a single output. Why do you need more than one?
I'm using logstash and elasticsearch .
Why not send all the data through Logstash?
I'm using elasticsearch to query the data
What does that have to do with the Filebeat config?
If you configure Filebeat to send all data to Logstash, which will in turn write it to Elasticsearch once it has been processed, you will have the offset field provided when you query your data in Elasticsearch.
I've uploaded screenshots for filebeat.yml ,config file and logstash console.
As you can see the logstash processing stops after pipelines running message with no further response(Its been like that for some time now)
Have you configured Filebeat to actually process any logs so there is data to send to Logstash? Also please do not post screenshots or images of text when you can copy and paste. Images can be hard to read and are not searchable.

###################### Filebeat Configuration Example #########################
# This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common
# options. The filebeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains all the
# supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.

I think i've configured it correctly and the problem might be with sinceDB because i saw the response once
