Hello All, I am new to ELK and I was testing a sample file with the config file below. On running the log stash application, I got the error "No Configurationfound in the configures sources". I am using running it on Windows Server 2012 standard 64 bit.  
Please assist as I am getting quite frustrated.

//Config file  
 ![zz](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/a/8a10d335fe5d5664bc35170f5034e776b02dcdb0.JPG) ![zz](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/a/8a10d335fe5d5664bc35170f5034e776b02dcdb0.JPG)  
input {  
file {  
path=\> "C:\Users\badesanya\Desktop\data\cars.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"  
}  
}

filter {  
csv {  
separator =\> ","  
columns =\> ["maker", "model", "milage", "manufacture\_year", "engine\_displacement", "engine\_power", "body\_type", "color\_slug",  
"stk\_year", "transmission", "door\_count", "seat\_count", "date\_created", "date\_last\_seen", "price\_eur"]

```
        }
        
    mutate{convert => ["milage", "integer"]}
    mutate{convert => ["price_euro", "float"]}
    mutate{convert => ["engine_power", "integer"]}
    mutate{convert => ["door_count", "integer"]}
    mutate{convert => ["seat_count", "integer"]}

```

}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "localhost"  
index=\> "cars"  
document\_type =\> "sold\_cars"  
}  
stdout {}  
}

Please don't post screenshots when you can copy/paste the plain text.

Logstash says that C:\Users\badesanya\Desktop\data\ELK\logstash-6.2.3\logstash-6.2.3\bin\logstash\_cars.conf doesn't exist. Is that untrue?
