Please i really need help.
i want to import json file to my ES using logstash. but nothing goes well on my side.
this is my logstash.conf:
\<
input
{
file
{
start\_position =\> "beginning"
path =\> "C:\Users\Download\out2.json"
sincedb\_path =\> "null"
```
}
}
```
}
filter{
json{
source =\> "message"
}
}
output{
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"
index =\> "test"
}
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug { metadata =\> true } }
# stdout { codec =\> dots }
}
/\>
but i got this error:
\<

Hi,
How did you run logstash ?
Where is located your configuration file .conf ?

HI
- logstash -f logstash.conf
About my .conf file :
input
{
file
{
start\_position =\> "beginning"
path =\> "C:/Users/Download/out2.json"
sincedb\_path =\> "null"
```
}
}
```
}
filter{
json{
source =\> "message"
}
}
output{
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"
index =\> "test"
}
stdout {}
}

It looks like you run the command in
`C:/Users/sx074/Tools/logstash-7.13.2/bin`
So with the command
> [@kfaf](#):

> logstash -f logstash.conf
You tell to logstash that the configuration file is in `C:/Users/sx074/Tools/logstash-7.13.2/bin` but it seems that is not the case according to the error :
> [@kfaf](#):
>
> No config files found in path {:path=\>"C:/Users/sx074/Tools/logstash-7.13.2/bin/logstash.conf"}
> [2021-07-19T11:37:35,535][ERROR][logstash.config.sourceloader] No configuration found in the configured sources.
So edit your run command with the full path to the conf file instead of just giving the name of the file.
