Hello all,  
Please, can you help me to resolve this problem?  
I've installed Only Logstash 5.2.1 in a Windows 8.1.

This is my CONFIG file:  
########################################################

input {  
file {  
path =\> "C:\var\log\xmltest\_2.xml"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
type =\> "ticket"  
codec =\> multiline

```
          pattern => "^<\?H_Ticket .*\>"
          negate => true
          what => "previous"
        
   }
  }

```

filter  
{  
xml  
{  
source =\> "ticket"  
xpath =\>  
{  
"/ticket/IDH\_Ticket/text()", "ticketId",  
"/ticket/CodeBus/text()", "codeBus",  
"/ticket/CodeCh/text()", "codeCh",  
"/ticket/CodeConv/text()", "codeConv",  
"/ticket/Codeligne/text()", "codeLigne",  
"/ticket/Date/text()", "date",  
"/ticket/Heur/text()", "heure",  
"/ticket/NomFR1/text()", "nomFR1",  
"/ticket/NomFR2/text()", "nomFR2",  
"/ticket/Prix/text()", "prix",  
"/ticket/IDTicket/text()", "idTicket",  
"/ticket/CodeRoute/text()", "codeRoute",  
"/ticket/origine/text()", "origine",  
"/ticket/Distination/text()", "destination",  
"/ticket/Num/text()", "num",  
"/ticket/Ligne/text()", "ligne",  
"/ticket/requisition/text()", "requisition",  
"/ticket/voyage/text()", "voyage",  
"/ticket/faveur/text()", "faveur"  
}  
store\_xml =\> true  
target =\> "doc"  
}  
}

output {  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}

########################################################

when I try to launch logstash, this outputs:

C:\logstash-5.2.1\>bin\logstash -f C:\logstash-5.2.1\myfile\_conf\xmltest\_2.conf
