Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (SystemExit) exit - logstash

Question

We are trying to index Nginx access and error log separately in Elasticsearch. for that we have created Filbeat and Logstash config as below.
Below is our /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml configuration
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
paths:
- /var/log/nginx/*access*.log
exclude_files: ['\.gz$']
exclude_lines: ['*ELB-HealthChecker*']
fields:
log_type: type1
- type: log
paths:
- /var/log/nginx/*error*.log
exclude_files: ['\.gz$']
exclude_lines: ['*ELB-HealthChecker*']
fields:
log_type: type2
output.logstash:
hosts: ["10.227.XXX.XXX:5400"]
Our logstash file /etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash-nginx-es.conf config is as below
input {
beats {
port => 5400
}
}
filter {
if ([fields][log_type] == "type1") {
grok {
match => [ "message" , "%{NGINXACCESS}+%{GREEDYDATA:extra_fields}"]
overwrite => [ "message" ]
}
mutate {
convert => ["response", "integer"]
convert => ["bytes", "integer"]
convert => ["responsetime", "float"]
}
geoip {
source => "clientip"
target => "geoip"
add_tag => [ "nginx-geoip" ]
}
date {
match => [ "timestamp" , "dd/MMM/YYYY:HH:mm:ss Z" ]
remove_field => [ "timestamp" ]
}
useragent {
source => "user_agent"
}
} else {
grok {
match => [ "message" , "(?<timestamp>%{YEAR}[./]%{MONTHNUM}[./]%{MONTHDAY} %{TIME}) \[%{LOGLEVEL:severity}\] %{POSINT:pid}#%{NUMBER:threadid}\: \*%{NUMBER:connectionid} %{GREEDYDATA:message}, client: %{IP:client}, server: %{GREEDYDATA:server}, request: "(?:%{WORD:verb} %{NOTSPACE:request}(?: HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion}))"(, upstream: "%{GREEDYDATA:upstream}")?, host: "%{DATA:host}"(, referrer: "%{GREEDYDATA:referrer}")?"]
overwrite => [ "message" ]
}
mutate {
convert => ["response", "integer"]
convert => ["bytes", "integer"]
convert => ["responsetime", "float"]
}
geoip {
source => "clientip"
target => "geoip"
add_tag => [ "nginx-geoip" ]
}
date {
match => [ "timestamp" , "dd/MMM/YYYY:HH:mm:ss Z" ]
remove_field => [ "timestamp" ]
}
useragent {
source => "user_agent"
}
}
}
output {
if ([fields][log_type] == "type1") {
amazon_es {
hosts => ["vpc-XXXX-XXXX.ap-southeast-1.es.amazonaws.com"]
region => "ap-southeast-1"
aws_access_key_id => 'XXXX'
aws_secret_access_key => 'XXXX'
index => "nginx-access-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
} else {
amazon_es {
hosts => ["vpc-XXXX-XXXX.ap-southeast-1.es.amazonaws.com"]
region => "ap-southeast-1"
aws_access_key_id => 'XXXX'
aws_secret_access_key => 'XXXX'
index => "nginx-error-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
}
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
}
And we are receiving below error while starting logstash.

There seems to be some formatting issue. Please help what is the problem
=================================UPDATE===================================
For all those who are looking for a robust grok filter for nginx access and error logs ... please try below filter patterns.
Access_Logs - %{IPORHOST:remote_ip} - %{DATA:user_name} \[%{HTTPDATE:access_time}\] \"%{WORD:http_method} %{URIPATHPARAM:url} HTTP/%{NUMBER:http_version}\" %{NUMBER:response_code} %{NUMBER:body_sent_bytes} \"%{SPACE:referrer}\" \"%{DATA:agent}\" %{NUMBER:duration} req_header:\"%{DATA:req_header}\" req_body:\"%{DATA:req_body}\" resp_header:\"%{DATA:resp_header}\" resp_body:\"%{GREEDYDATA:resp_body}\"
Error_Logs - (?<timestamp>%{YEAR}[./]%{MONTHNUM}[./]%{MONTHDAY} %{TIME}) \[%{LOGLEVEL:severity}\] %{POSINT:pid}#%{NUMBER:threadid}\: \*%{NUMBER:connectionid} %{DATA:errormessage}, client: %{IP:client}, server: %{IP:server}, request: \"(?<httprequest>%{WORD:httpcommand} %{NOTSPACE:httpfile} HTTP/(?<httpversion>[0-9.]*))\", host: \"%{NOTSPACE:host}\"(, referrer: \"%{NOTSPACE:referrer}\")?

Answer 1

Grok pattern on line 32 is the issue. Need to escape all " characters.
Below is an escaped version of the GROK.
grok {
match => [ "message" , "(?<timestamp>%{YEAR}[./]%{MONTHNUM}[./]%{MONTHDAY} %{TIME})\[%{LOGLEVEL:severity}\] %{POSINT:pid}#%{NUMBER:threadid}\: \*%{NUMBER:connectionid} %{GREEDYDATA:message}, client: %{IP:client}, server: %{GREEDYDATA:server}, request: \"(?:%{WORD:verb} %{NOTSPACE:request}(?: HTTP/%{NUMBER:httpversion}))\"(, upstream: \"%{GREEDYDATA:upstream}\")?, host: \"%{DATA:host}\"(, referrer: \"%{GREEDYDATA:referrer}\")?"]
overwrite => [ "message" ]
}
