Hi All

I have run the logstash on win10 with multiple piplines and debug enabled.  
And i have got below errors.  
I have no idea about it as the debug info is not enough.

Regards.

hey lovedebug,  
Even i faced same problem on windows using command line  
command bin\logstash -f a.conf

Error:

After hard struggle i found that my config format was in .txt format  
i again had to save it as a.config file using editor(making sure it is not .txt file)

hope it solves your problem.

Thanks very much for your reply.

I have tested same config in linux centos, it works fine.  
I am still not sure what's wrong for my configs.

Best Regards
