========================================================================  
#-----------------------Logstash.yml-----------------------------------------#

# Settings can be specified either in hierarchical form, e.g.:

pipeline:

```
  batch:
  
    size: 125
  
    delay: 5

```

# This defaults to the number of the host's CPU cores.

pipeline.workers: 5

# How many workers should be used per output plugin instance

pipeline.output.workers: 5

# 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

# ------------ Pipeline Configuration Settings --------------

# 

# 

Where to fetch the pipeline configuration for the main pipeline

# 

path.config: E:\Software\ELK\logstash-7.0.1\logstash-7.0.1\config\demo-metrics-pipeline.conf  
config.debug: true

# ------------ Module Settings ---------------

# 

Define modules here. Modules definitions must be defined as an array.

# The simple way to see this is to prepend each `name` with a `-`, and keep

# all associated variables

under the `name` they are associated with, and

# above the next, like this:

modules:

- name: netflow

That suggests a problem with the indentation or other formatting of your logstash.yml.

Please edit your post, select the configuration, and click on \</\> in the toolbar above the edit pane. You should see an obvious change in the format in the preview pane to the right of the edit pane.
