You do not actually need to add this kind of configuration yet. It is not required to install logstash.
This config file(which i suggest you break up into multiple) is where all the magic happens.
You declare your input sources, you make your matching/maniputlation/tagging/stripping etc and then send the manipulated event to your desired output(e.g elasticsearch,files etc).

So you can skip this one for now but those configs are the bread and butter of logstash. I recommend you do some reading about how they work, a lot of documentation and examples exist as of now.
