Hi all,

i am running one instance of elastic and one of logstash in parallel on the  
same computer.

when trying to load a file into elastic, using logstash that is running the  
config file below, i get the follwing output msgs on elastic and no file is  
loaded  
(when input is configured to be stdin everything seems to be working just  
fine)

any ideas?
