This might be a basic problem. I have the error code of "invalid config" when i try to parse gz file into logstash.
**Below is my config:**
input {
file {
type =\> "gzip"
path =\> "/Users/yangyan/Desktop/log\_file/s3\_logs/2014/testpurchase\_funnel.log.gz"
start\_position =\> "beginning"
codec =\> "gzip\_lines"
}
filter {
grok{
match =\> { "message" =\> "%{SYSLOGBASE} %{GREEDYDATA:message}" }
overwrite =\> ["message"]
}
json {
source =\> "message"
}
mutate{
rename =\> { "[purchase][source]" =\> "p\_source" }
rename =\> { "[purchase][type\_id]" =\> "p\_typeId" }
rename =\> { "[purchase][content\_id]" =\> "p\_contentId" }
}
date{
match =\> ["date", "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", "ISO8601"]
timezone =\> "Europe/Dublin"
target =\> "date"
}
prune {
whitelist\_names =\> ["@timestamp", "app\_id", "member\_id", "locale", "date", "p\_source", "p\_typeId", "p\_contentId"]
}
}
output {
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }
}
**AND below is the error:**
**etched an invalid config** {:config=\>"input {\n file {\n type =\> "gzip"\n path =\> "/Users/yangyan/Desktop/log\_file/s3\_logs/2014/testpurchase\_funnel.log.gz"\n start\_position =\> "beginning"\n codec =\> "gzip\_lines"\n} \n\n filter {\n grok{\n match =\> { "message" =\> "%{SYSLOGBASE} %{GREEDYDATA:message}" }\n overwrite =\> ["message"]\n}\n\n json {\n source =\> "message"\n}\n\n mutate{\n rename =\> { "[purchase][source]" =\> "p\_source" }\n rename =\> { "[purchase][type\_id]" =\> "p\_typeId" }\n rename =\> { "[purchase][content\_id]" =\> "p\_contentId" } \n}\n\n date{\n match =\> ["date", "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", "ISO8601"]\n timezone =\> "Europe/Dublin" \n target =\> "date"\n}\n\n\n prune {\n whitelist\_names =\> ["@timestamp", "app\_id", "member\_id", "locale", "date", "p\_source", "p\_typeId", "p\_contentId"]\n} \n}\n\noutput {\n stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }\n}\n\n", :reason=\>"Expected one of #, =\> at line 10, column 9 (byte 207) after input {\n file {\n type =\> "gzip"\n path =\> "/Users/yangyan/Desktop/log\_file/s3\_logs/2014/testpurchase\_funnel.log.gz"\n start\_position =\> "beginning"\n codec =\> "gzip\_lines"\n} \n\n filter {\n grok", :level=\>:error}

Hi @Allie_Yang,
This forum is for the Elastic Cloud service. Could you move your question to the Logstash forum.
Cheers,
Ben

You're not closing your `input` block before you're opening your `filter` block. If you indent your configuration file consistently things like this becomes very easy to spot.

Hey thanks i noticed that too. Now, I don't have any error. It is now showing **no response** when i begin to parse:
**My config:**
input {
file {
path =\> "/Users/yangyan/Desktop/log\_file/s3\_logs/2014/01/28/event\_log/test.log.gz"
start\_position =\> "beginning"
codec =\> "gzip\_lines"
type =\> "gzip"
ignore\_older =\> 0
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"
}
}
filter {
grok{
match =\> { "message" =\> "%{SYSLOGBASE} %{GREEDYDATA:message}" }
overwrite =\> ["message"]
}
json {
source =\> "message"
}
mutate{
rename =\> { "[purchase][source]" =\> "p\_source" }
rename =\> { "[purchase][type\_id]" =\> "p\_typeId" }
rename =\> { "[purchase][content\_id]" =\> "p\_contentId" }
}
date{
match =\> ["date", "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", "ISO8601"]
timezone =\> "UTC"
target =\> "date"
}
prune {
whitelist\_names =\> ["@timestamp", "app\_id", "member\_id", "locale", "date", "p\_source", "p\_typeId", "p\_contentId"]
}
}
output {
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }
}
**My terminal response:**
yangyan-osx:2.3.4 yangyan$ bin/logstash -f testgzip.conf
Settings: Default pipeline workers: 8
Pipeline main started
(nothing shows up)
