it passes with the log line provided in online grok parser , but if I add it in .conf the the pipeline creation has error ":message=\>"Could not execute action: PipelineAction::Create", whereas if I replace it with other default filter it works ingest the data  
default filter:  
"%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:event\_timestamp}\s+%{LOGLEVEL:log\_level}\s+[%{DATA:thread\_name}:%{DATA:class\_name}:%{DATA:method\_name}]\s+%{GREEDYDATA:log\_value}"

Also validated the .conf with logstash validation utility

What is the complete error message and what does the filter section of your configuration look like?
