        },
        "provided_name": "logstash"
      }
    }
  }
}

Below is my logstash configuration

input{
    beats{
        port=>5044
    }
}filter{
    grok{
        match=>{"message" => "\[%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp}\] ALL AUDIT: User \[%{GREEDYDATA:user}\] is %{GREEDYDATA:activity} \[%{GREEDYDATA:filename}\] for transfer."}
    }
}output{
    elasticsearch{
        hosts=>"localhost:9200"
        index=> "logstash"
    }

Sample Data

[2017-03-05 12:37:21.465] ALL AUDIT: User [user1] is opening file [filename1] for transfer.

but when i am loading file through filebeat > logstash > elasticsearch in elasticsearch i am getting below error

org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: failed to parse [timestamp]
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "2017-03-05T12:36:33.606" is malformed at "12:36:33.606"
    at org.joda.time.format.DateTimeParserBucket.doParseMillis(DateTimeParserBucket.java:187) ~[joda-time-2.9.5.jar:2.9.5]

In your timestamp mapping you indicate the format as "format": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS" Here the format you are sending through beats is not the same, check: 2017-03-05T12:36:33.606

That's why Elastic is complaining about the format. Your format should be: "YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS" (notice the capital T)

See the documentation for more details: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-date-format.html
