Translate filter with external dictionary and refresh behaviour

I want to extract mapping to external dictionaries. Below is example of one of my translate filter configurations.

translate 
{
    destination => "target_field"
    field => "source_field"
    dictionary_path => "mapping.yml"
    exact => true
    refresh_behaviour => "replace"
}

When I verify it with

\bin\logstash.bat --config.test_and_exit -f .\logstash-6.2.2\logstash-conf\2filters.conf

I get error message

[ERROR][logstash.filters.translate] Unknown setting 'refresh_behaviour' for translate

But this is how documentation shows it should be done - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.2/plugins-filters-translate.html#plugins-filters-translate-refresh_behaviour

I am using logstash-6.2.2.

Solution

  • It's possible that your logstash-filter-translate plugin is an older version.

    Try to run
    bin/logstash-plugin list --verbose 'translate'
    and check what version the plugin is, it should be at least 3.1.0.

    If it is older, you can use
    bin/logstash-plugin update logstash-filter-translate
    to update the plugin to the latest version.

    For offline plugin management, check the documentation here.
