I am config a logstash to obtains logs from a client. But now there is a problem with logstah. There is error information in `/var/log/logstash`:

```auto
logstash.agent cannot create pipeline{reson:"Expected one of #, input, filter, output at line 1, column 1

```

The `elasticsearch-output.conf` is

```auto
output {
elasticsearch { hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
hosts => "localhost:9200"
manage_template => false
index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
}
}
``
And I have use `df -h` to see the files see the space. It seems that there is still enough space. Can anyone explain this? Thanks.
```

you should see the log of logstash. And you can see the error hints. My problem is the config in conf.d for logstash. @lkofman
