Below is the error.

My logstash.conf is

input {  
file {  
path =\> "your log file location”  
start\_position =\> "beginning"}}  
filter {  
grok {  
match =\> {"message" =\> "%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:timestamp} ([%{DATA:thread}])? %{LOGLEVEL:level}%{SPACE}%{JAVACLASS:class}.%{DATA:method} - %{GREEDYDATA:loggedString}"  
}}  
mutate {remove\_field =\> ["message" , "path" , "host"]}}  
output {amazon\_es { hosts =\> [""]  
ssl =\> true  
region =\> "us-east-1"  
index =\> "my index"  
}  
stdout{codec =\> "rubydebug"}  
}
