below is the jar in my logstash folder C:\Users\Priyesh.Chourasia\Desktop\ElkOld\logstash-6.5.2\logstash-core\lib\jars

commons-codec-1.11 which has below method i’m confused which version is conflicting checked with version 1.4 to 1.12 version every jar has the below common method.

public static String encodeHexString(byte data)  
{  
return new String(encodeHex(data));  
}

please suggest solution for the above issue.

Below is the pipelines.yml file contents

# List of pipelines to be loaded by Logstash

# 

# This document must be a list of dictionaries/hashes, where the keys/values are pipeline settings.

# Default values for ommitted settings are read from the `logstash.yml` file.

# When declaring multiple pipelines, each MUST have its own `pipeline.id`.

# 

# Example of two pipelines:

# 

# - pipeline.id: test

# pipeline.workers: 1

# pipeline.batch.size: 1

# config.string: "input { generator {} } filter { sleep { time =\> 1 } } output { stdout { codec =\> dots } }"

# - pipeline.id: another\_test

# queue.type: persisted

# path.config: "/tmp/logstash/\*.config"

# 

# Available options:

# 

# # name of the pipeline

# pipeline.id: mylogs

# 

# # The configuration string to be used by this pipeline

# config.string: "input { generator {} } filter { sleep { time =\> 1 } } output { stdout { codec =\> dots } }"

# 

# # The path from where to read the configuration text

```
path.config: "C:\Users\Priyesh.Chourasia\Desktop\ElkOld\logstash-6.5.2\bin\logstash.conf"

```

# 

# # How many worker threads execute the Filters+Outputs stage of the pipeline

# pipeline.workers: 1 (actually defaults to number of CPUs)

# 

# # How many events to retrieve from inputs before sending to filters+workers

# pipeline.batch.size: 125

# 

# # How long to wait in milliseconds while polling for the next event

# # before dispatching an undersized batch to filters+outputs

# pipeline.batch.delay: 50

# 

# # How many workers should be used per output plugin instance

# pipeline.output.workers: 1

# 

# # Internal queuing model, "memory" for legacy in-memory based queuing and

# # "persisted" for disk-based acked queueing. Defaults is memory

# queue.type: memory

# 

# # If using queue.type: persisted, the page data files size. The queue data consists of

# # append-only data files separated into pages. Default is 64mb

# queue.page\_capacity: 64mb

# 

# # If using queue.type: persisted, the maximum number of unread events in the queue.

# # Default is 0 (unlimited)

# queue.max\_events: 0

# 

# # If using queue.type: persisted, the total capacity of the queue in number of bytes.

# # Default is 1024mb or 1gb

# queue.max\_bytes: 1024mb

# 

# # If using queue.type: persisted, the maximum number of acked events before forcing a checkpoint

# # Default is 1024, 0 for unlimited

# queue.checkpoint.acks: 1024

# 

# # If using queue.type: persisted, the maximum number of written events before forcing a checkpoint

# # Default is 1024, 0 for unlimited

# queue.checkpoint.writes: 1024

# 

# # If using queue.type: persisted, the interval in milliseconds when a checkpoint is forced on the head page

# # Default is 1000, 0 for no periodic checkpoint.

# queue.checkpoint.interval: 1000

# 

# # Enable Dead Letter Queueing for this pipeline.

# dead\_letter\_queue.enable: false

# 

# If using dead\_letter\_queue.enable: true, the maximum size of dead letter queue for this pipeline. Entries

# will be dropped if they would increase the size of the dead letter queue beyond this setting.

# Default is 1024mb

# dead\_letter\_queue.max\_bytes: 1024mb

# 

# If using dead\_letter\_queue.enable: true, the directory path where the data files will be stored.

# Default is path.data/dead\_letter\_queue

# 

# path.dead\_letter\_queue:
