What does your output section look like? Whatever your path setting is, logstash does not like it. Do you have curly quotes around the path? If so, change them to regular double quotes.
Expected one of ... at line 26, column 12 (byte 444) after output {\n file {\n path => "
tells you that when the configuration compiler reached the character after output {\n file {\n path => it detected a problem. Sometimes this is due to a problem earlier in the configuration (a missing close quote, for example) and sometimes it is due to whatever comes next.
You are right, I want to know a quick way to find the wrong place.
I noticed Expected one of ..... at line ,column ...., but I didn't immediately think that the error was there.
