I don't understand why logstash is so finicky with network resources. I shared a folder on another machine and then mapped it as Z: under Windows Explorer. I've verified the path and everything. I can get logstash (with ELK stack) to input local files but it just doesn't seem to do anything with network or mapped resources.
Is there something insanely simple I'm missing here? Do I need additional arguments for outputting mapped drive inputs to elasticsearch?
input {
file {
type => "BbLog"
path => "Z:/*"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
host => "localhost"
}
}
