I followed this doc after I installed x-pack. And I update my logstash.conf with user and password.

the error is:  
[LogStash::Runner] FATAL logstash.runner - The given configuration is invalid. Reason: Expected one of #, { at line 6, column 8 (byte 81) after input {

input {  
beats {  
host =\> "10.8.8.53"  
port =\> "5044"  
}  
user =\> logstash\_internal  
password =\> Password1  
}

I followed this doc:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/logstash.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/logstash.html)  
input {  
...  
user =\> logstash\_internal  
password =\> changeme  
}  
filter {  
...  
user =\> logstash\_internal  
password =\> changeme  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
...  
user =\> logstash\_internal  
password =\> changeme  
}

do not add user/password in input and filter section. The doc is not right.
