Is this not a valid translate? I grok the IP address out of a message and then pass it to the translate plugin.

filter  
{

```
 grok {
   match => { "message" => "%{IP:des_ip}" }
 }

 translate {
     field => "des_ip"
     destination => "ip_map"
     dictionary_path => "/tmp/ipmap.yaml"
 }

```

}

But I am getting this error. Possibly syntax/formatting, but its not clear:

] Cannot create pipeline {:reason=\>"Expected one of #, =\> at line 57, column 11 (byte 1514) after filter

filter {\n\n grok "}

Line 57 is where filter starts

Nevermind, I had a misplaced brace. Sorry thread can be closed.
