Config Err

[naveensk (naveen)]

I just started working with ELK stack in my virtual box, below errors are not clear to me to debug.
my csv file :

1,"pg100","dg101",2,"2016-01-01 00:29:24","2016-01-01 00:39:36",1
2,"pg100","dg2002",2,"2016-01-02 20:31:43","2016-01-02 20:42:31",1
3,"pg100","dg3903",2,"2016-01-05 00:24:16","2016-01-05 00:32:26",1
4,"pg100","dg904",1,"2016-01-07 12:36:47","2016-01-07 12:46:33",1
5,"pg100","dg2805",2,"2016-01-09 12:36:10","2016-01-09 12:47:27",1> 

and i tried to logstash config file as :

input
{
file
{
 path => "/opt/elk/data/gt.csv"
 start_position => "beginning"
 sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
 }

filter
{
csv 
{
separator = ","

 columns => ["gt_id", "pid", "did", "vid", "created_at","modified_at","amount"]
    }
    mutate { convert => ["amount" => "float"] }
 }


output
{
elasticsearch{
hosts => "localhost"
index => "gt"
document_type => "sample"
}
stdout{}

}

the error info :

 :exception=>"LogStash::ConfigurationError", :message=>"Expected one of #, => at line 15, column 12

@naveensk

Expected one of #, => at line 15, column 12
(byte 157) after filter\n{\n\tcsv \n\t{\n\tseparator "

Open your configuration file and go to line 15. You will find

separator = ","

Column 12 there the first double quote. It is trying to tell you that it wants to see

separator => ","

Awesome , its working

 mutate { convert => ["amount" => "float"] }

also need to be

 mutate { convert => ["amount", "float"] }

[Jenni]

... or mutate { convert => {"amount" => "float"} }
