Hi

I have install Logstash, ElasticSearch and Kibana, without any problems. But when I going to rund the Logstash conf file through the Command Prompt or PowerShell I get the same error messages... see picture:

Change your elasticsearch output parameter "host" to "hosts" and change  
your sincedb\_path to sincedb\_path =\> "NUL"

I missed one.  
Please double check your configurations carefully. You should look closer for typos as the error message clearly states:

> Unknown setting 'sinceddb\_path' for file

sinceddb\_path should be sincedb\_path
