Answer 1

In Windows,i think the file name you have saved is sample.log but internally it would be considered as text file . So it would be something like "sample.log.txt"

So please do try

input {
file {
#type => "log"
path => "D:/Downloads/logstash-6.7.0/bin/samplex.log.txt"
sincedb_path => "D:/Downloads/logstash-6.7.0/data/plugins/inputs/file/null"
start_position => "beginning"
#ignore_older => 0
}
}



output {
stdout { codec => "rubydebug"}
elasticsearch {
hosts => "http://xx-xx-xx-xx:9200"
index => "db"
} 
}

If still the issue is seen, try deleting the null file in sincedb_path and try again.

Please let me know,if issue is getting resolved with this. Hope this helps you.. !!
