Logfile won't apear in elasticsearch - elasticsearch

Question

I'm very new to logstash and elasticsearch, I am trying to stash my first log to logstash in a way that I can (correct me if it is not the purpose) search it using elasticsearch....
I have a log that looks like this basically:
2016-12-18 10:16:55,404 - INFO - flowManager.py - loading metadata xml
So, I have created a config file test.conf that looks like this:
input {
file {
path => "/home/usr/tmp/logs/mylog.log"
type => "test-type"
id => "NEWTRY"
}
}
filter {
grok {
match => { "message" => "%{YEAR:year}-%{MONTHNUM:month}-%{MONTHDAY:day} %{HOUR:hour}:%{MINUTE:minute}:%{SECOND:second} - %{LOGLEVEL:level} - %{WORD:scriptName}.%{WORD:scriptEND} - " }
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
index => "ecommerce"
codec => line { format => "%{year}-%{month}-%{day} %{hour}:%{minute}:%{second} - %{level} - %{scriptName}.%{scriptEND} - \"%{message}\"" }
}
}
And then : ./bin/logstash -f test.conf
I do not see the log in elastic search when I go to: http://localhost:9200/ecommerce OR to http://localhost:9200/ecommerce/test-type/NEWTRY
Please tell me what am I doing wrong.... :\
Thanks,
Heather

Answer 1

I found a solution eventually-
I added both sincedb_path=>"/dev/null" (which from what I understood is for testing enviorment only) and start_position => "beginning" to the output file plugin and the file appeared both in elastic and in kibana
Thanks anyway for responding and trying to help!
